I am so sorry to hear that your bank account was compromised before your refund could be deposited. That can be very frustrating.
I would have a few questions to get you to the proper answer for this.
- Did you close the account before the refund was to be deposited?
- If so, the IRS normally will issue you a check in the mail to the address listed on the tax return once the bank refuses the deposit.
- Are you looking to change deposit information before the refund was sent by the IRS?
- Normally this is something that you would have to contact the IRS and request they cancel the deposit and send a check. They will not change the deposit account information.
- Are you looking to change your account on your TurboTax account for the upcoming season?
- This can be done, at checkout, inside of your account before filing.
Here is a link to information on what the IRS will do with changes to deposit information: Will The IRS Change Direct Deposit Information?
Here is a link on how to change your deposit information inside of TurboTax: How To Change My Deposit Account In TurboTax
I hope this information helps get your account information changed for the upcoming Tax Season.
