Whether or not you
can switch from receiving a paper check to getting your refund direct
deposited, or vice-versa depends on if your tax return has already been filed
and accepted or filed and rejected.
If you have already
filed and submitted your tax return you are unable to edit the bank account
information, as well as the direct deposit option, once the return has been accepted. If your return has been filed and
submitted and rejected then you are able
to change the information.
If the IRS is unable
to deposit your refund into your account, they will mail you a refund check. 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.
