ASAP I NEED TO CHANGE IT

If you have not already filed and submitted your tax return follow the steps below:

1. Sign into your account, click take me to my return

2. Click the File heading

3. Follow the prompts for Step 1. When you get to Step 2, this is where the bank account information will be. Follow the prompts to edit your bank account information.  

If you have already filed and submitted your tax return you are unable to edit the bank account information once the return has been accepted. If your return has been filed and submitted and rejected then you are able to change the information, just follow the steps above. 

If the IRS is unable to deposit your refund into your account, they will mail you a refund check.

So if the money is sent to a different account that isn't mine the bank will reject it? because the account info is not mine.

[EricG1]

Yeah, the bank will see that the info does not match and we will send the money back to the IRS. The IRS will then mail you a paper check.

And what if their bank accepts it, they will get my money?

[rileybarron21]

okay thank you

[EricG1]

They won't. This happens quite often and the bank that Turbo Tax uses is very vigilant in making sure that that doesn't happen. If you'd like, I can provide you with a number for the bank. 1-877-908-7228 It's called Santa Barbara Bank.

If you entered a valid bank account number, not belonging to you, there's normally nothing to worry about. Many banks will not deposit tax refunds into accounts where names don't match up. For more information please see the TurboTax Help article below.
