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.

  • If rejected, you can update your account and any issues that caused the rejection.   Open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before re-submitting your return.
  • If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail.

So my return from last year was deposited December 22 2021 and it went to a closed account. My bank returned it on the 23 of December that same year but the irs has kept saying they haven’t received any money back and it’s march 2022. I have no idea what to do

If the information you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check once the rejected tax deposit from the bank is received back to the IRS. 

  • If you have contacted the financial institution and two weeks have passed with no results, you will need to file Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund PDF to initiate a trace. This allows the IRS to contact the bank on your behalf to attempt recovery of your refund. Banks are allowed up to 90 days from the date of the initial trace input to respond to our request for information.

@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
