I just completed my federal and Illinois state tax returns with TurboTax.
- I e-filed my federal return and provided bank account information so my refund would be direct deposited. On the PDF version, I see that information reflected. Good.
- I chose to paper file for my Illinois tax return. TurboTax never asked me whether I want a paper check or direct deposit for my state refund. When I printed my state return, I see TurboTax went ahead and selected the paper check option, although the state form clearly has a checkbox option for direct deposit with the corresponding routing/account number fields. I tried finding a way to change the selection through TurboTax, even via the "form view", but with no success.
Before mailing my printed state form, can I "white out" the checkbox indicating I want a paper check, and then manually check off the direct deposit checkbox and write in my direct deposit numbers with a pen - or can I actually only receive a paper check once I choose to USPS mail my state return?
