If you have already filed your return, there is no way to make any changes once the return has been filed and accepted. If the bank account you provided is a closed or invalid account, the bank will reject it and send it back to the IRS. The government will then mail you a refund check to the address provided on your tax return.  

NOTE: If your return gets rejected, you can then change that bank account information and re-submit the return.

Have you already filed the return? Or do you just need to change the account number that transferred over from last year's return?
