If you have already filed your return, you cannot make changes to your direct deposit information. Even if the IRS has not accepted your return, submitting it is similar to dropping it in a mailbox. You cannot cancel or retrieve it. If the IRS accepts your return, and the bank information provided is not accurate, the direct deposit will be rejected by the financial institution and sent back to the IRS. From there, the IRS will issue you a paper check, which can take up to ten weeks.
If you have not yet filed your return, you have the chance to update your bank information on the File section of your return. In Step 2, you will be asked to verify or update your bank information for direct deposit. As stated above, the screen will ask How Do You Want Your Federal Refund? From there, enter the information for direct deposit.
