I entered the wrong bank account information and don't know how to edit it. Thank you for your help.

If you have not filed your taxes, you can change your direct deposit information by following the steps below:

Go to the File tab (top of program)
Finish Step 1 Review your order
Proceed to Step 2 Your refund/payment Info
Verify that the box stating "I want my refund deposited into this account" is unchecked
At the bottom of the page, click Continue
Enter your new bank account information

If you have already filed your tax return, you may be able to stop the direct deposit to the incorrect account, and receive a paper check as per the IRS: If the return hasn't already posted to the IRS system, you can ask them to stop the direct deposit. You may call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040, M - F, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
