To select direct deposit as your refund method:

  • When you click the File tab, you click Start in the Step 1 section.
  • Click View payment options at the bottom of the page.
  • You will be taken to the screen that asks how you want to pay for your return.  If you select, Pay with your refund, you will not be given the option to split your refund into two bank accounts.  You will only be given this option if you select Pay with your credit card. 
  • Once you select Pay with your credit card, you will enter your card information and then follow the prompts to make your payment. 
  • Next, you will be brought to the screen where you will choose your refund method.

@Carstenballard These are instructions before filingHow do I change my refund method?

If you have already filed you would not be able to change your refund method for your tax refund.  What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit?

 

If this is regarding the stimulus payment, please reply back and we can assist further.

@Caleaf

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.
