Will my direct deposit still go through if I used the wrong routing number? Right bank, wrong state.

If you have not filed your taxes, you can change your direct deposit information by following the steps below:
  • Go to the File tab
  • Finish Step 1 Review your order
  • Proceed to Step 2 Your refund/payment Info
  • Verify that the box stating "I want my refund deposited into this account" is unchecked
  • At the bottom of the page, click Continue
  • Enter your new bank account information
If you have already filed your tax return, then you may be able to stop the direct deposit by contacting the IRS if the return has not yet been processed by the IRS system. To request this change and see if a check can be mailed to you, you may contact the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040. Their hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

When you enter incorrect banking information you cannot change it if you have already filed your return unless your return is rejected then you can make corrections and resend it. If the IRS is unable to send your refund to the bank, they will issue a paper check to the address on your return.

 

Please follow the instructions below to change your banking information before your file.
