If your return has already been accepted, and the bank information you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check. Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account information or your refund method.
If the info you entered is someone else's account, don't worry – some banks won't deposit tax refunds into accounts where names don't match up. The best way for you to track your federal refund is to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
If your recently-filed return is in pending status, wait until it's either accepted or rejected.

I’m in same nose moved closed account. Did you figure it all out
@Montvant - the IRS does not permit changes to bank account information once the return is filed - that is to protect you against fraud.
once the direct deposit fails, the IRS will send a paper check to the address you used when you filed.
if you moved make sure the USPS gets a change of address form. the iRS also has a change of address form 8822
