How can i change my routing and account number

[JuanJ]

If you have not already e-filed your tax return you can see the following TurboTax FAQ for information on how to get to the area of your return to enter/change your bank account information.  Once in that area of your return, you can follow the steps listed at the bottom of the answer to change your information. 

If you're getting a refund, we'll ask for your bank account info once you choose the direct deposit option (it's on the How Do You Want Your Federal Refund? screen in the File section).

If you owe additional taxes to the IRS and you're e-filing, enter your bank account info on the How Do You Want To Pay Your Federal Taxes? screen (choose the first option, direct debit). Direct debit is not an option for paper-filed federal returns.

To review previously-entered bank account info, simply revisit the File section in TurboTax and step through the screens.

If you have not already filed, please follow these steps:

You can easily edit the bank account information following these steps:

TurboTax Online

1. Ensure the box underneath the account info stating I want my refund deposited into this account is unchecked.  Make sure this box is NOT checked.
2. Scroll down and click Continue.
3. A page will display that says, Let's get your bank account info.
4. Enter your new or updated bank account information.

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.

@Xavier19 If you have already e-filed or mailed your return, you can no longer update your banking information. If your financial institution rejects the deposit, the government will mail your refund check.

If you have yet to file your taxes, you can still change your direct deposit information by following the steps in this FAQ: How do I change my transferred direct deposit information?

I forgot a number on it

[ChondelLO]

In most cases, once the IRS has accepted your return (or you've already mailed it), there's not much you can do. If the info you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check. For more information please click the link below.

How can I change my account and Routing number on my tax return

@Hall35

Unfortunately, once you e-file, it's too late to change your refund method. You will have to contact the IRS. If you have not filed yet you can use this Turbo Tax FAQ to change your refund method.

Once a tax return has been e-filed it cannot be canceled, retrieved or changed.
