Is there any way I could have my tax return go into a different bank since my bank account is closed ?

[TeresaM · Accepted solution]

If you have already e-filed or paper filed

Once your return is e-filed and accepted then no changes can be made to the return, or your refund payment method. If it is rejected, then you can go back in and modify the refund payment method.

If the IRS tries to deposit your refund to the bank account on the return and it is closed, or the account name does not match the return name, it will be pulled back and automatically sent as a paper check to the address on the file as the mailing address on the return.

This is a Turbo Tax FAQ with a video that explains this process.

How long would it take to come in the mail ?

[TeresaM]

It varies according to the IRS but should fall in the range of a 2 week delay.  Here is a link to the IRS FAQ for refund inquiries  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-an...>

If I filed it on the 25th of January, and my bank account was closed on the 3rd of February, will it still be deposited into my bank or be mailed as paper check ?
