How do I change my bank account number after filing my tax refund?

[Angelrose14]

How long should that take

@Angelrose14 How long should it take if your refund goes to the wrong bank?   It could take a couple of extra weeks or longer.   The IRS is backlogged, so we cannot accurately tell you how long it will take them to issue a check for a returned deposit.

My tax returns have been accepted, and i realized i have a new account number.  What can i do to change the account number?

Sorry it's too late to change it.  If the bank rejects the deposit the IRS will mail a check to the address on your a return.

@Shae88 You cannot  change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted.  The IRS does not allow it.

If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong

If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected.  If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it.  The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS.  Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return.  Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information

Once the tax return has been filed the bank information cannot be changed.  When the IRS issues the refund for direct deposit the bank will reject the deposit.  The IRS will then send a refund check in the mail to the address on the tax return.  This may take several weeks before the IRS mails the check after the refund was rejected.

If you have already filed, you would not be able to change your refund method. If it is going to an inactive account, the refund will be rejected back to the IRS and they will mail a paper check to your address on file.  For more information on this, please see the Help Article here.

my state had the correct bank info ,but, Federal had incorrect info,will they just send me a check in the mail? or do i need to contact them?

Once your tax refund has been sent to the bank by the IRS, the bank should then reject the funds and send it back to the IRS. The IRS will then issue a tax refund check and mail it to the address on your tax return. Once this is done, you should receive the check via mail within 14 business days. See this help article for more information.
