I'm sorry, but you can not change your refund method once your tax return has been accepted.

Your refund will be rejected by the bank and will be returned to the IRS.  You will eventually receive a paper check from the IRS, mailed to the address you entered on your return.  Expect that to delay your refund by at least another two weeks.

If the return hasn't already posted to our system [at the IRS], you can ask us to stop the direct deposit. You may call us toll-free at 800-829-1040, M - F, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
