Can I change to direct deposit from paper check form?

What if you where accepted and lost your debit card and want to change to paper check just to be safe. Will IRS accept?

Once the return has been filed, you are unable to change the method in which you receive your refund. Was the debit card the Turbo Prepaid Debit card @ChessFart101?

No. I checked my account on IRS website and it's not processed yet.

Once you have transmitted your return, you will not be able to change the method of payment for your refund. 

You might be able to file for a lost debit card to be able to obtain these funds as the card would be linked to your account.

I dropped my wallet yesterday and I already reported my debit stolen/lost. Found my wallet empty with my ID still inside. That's why I want to change direct deposit to paper check. Just to be save.

If you cancel the debit card that you were having your tax refund deposited to, once the IRS receives notification that the card isn't valid (because the card has been canceled) the IRS will then mail you a paper check to the address listed on your tax return.
