Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I wrote a closed bank account number on my tax return. The IRS said because of refund anticipation loan they can't track my refund, bank said they don't have my refund.

I called the IRS to track where my refund was, and they said it has been deposited on April 17th but because the account number on my tax return is of a closed account the bank doesn't have a trace of the refund, the routing number is correct it's just the last 4 numbers of the account that are wrong. I called the IRS again and they said their records don't show that the refund was return to them and that they can't trace it because of "refund anticipation loan/check" and that I should contact TurboTax.

Since you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the service charge deducted.  The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return.

For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/

Thank you for your response, I will contact them as soon as possible! However, how can I go about to change my bank account so that the direct  deposit doesn't go to a closed bank account?
