You can't do anything really at all they will send you a paper Che k in the mail most people receive theirs in as little as 10 days some people receive there's in about 2 weeks but the irs has to tell you that you will receive it in 5 weeks so you're not calling every day

There is a slight possibility that you might be able to update your bank information. If you had chosen the Refund Processing Service (allowing TurboTax to take their fees out of your federal refund), you can try going to the Santa Barbara Tax Products Group website for assistance. When you use the Refund Processing Service, your refund get's sent to a "middle man" (Santa Barbara Tax Product Group) who then transfers your fund to your bank account and transfer TurboTax's Fees to their account. So if you can speak with someone there, they maybe able to update you direct deposit information before they attempt to deposit the funds. 

If you did not use the Refund Processing Service, you may be able to contact the IRS directly (800-829-1040), after the return has been accepted, and see if they might be able to update your bank account information.

If you aren't successful in getting the bank account information updated, don't worry. If the IRS/Santa Barbara Tax Product Group is unable to deposit your refund amount they will send you a check in the mail.

That’s what they told me 5 weeks and I was furious!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm dealing with the same exact issue.  Have you received your check yet?

If your  tax return has already been accepted, it is too late to change your bank information.  If the direct deposit account you entered is now closed, you should be expecting a paper check in the mail. See our FAQ regarding Entering the wrong direct deposit information.

My credit karma spending account is closed . I have a savings account through credit karma that's opened but I'm worried that I won't get it because my state check was returned already

If your account is closed, there is nowhere to deposit the funds.  The refund will ultimately be sent by mail.
