Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I had also tried entering the number manually with the same results.
And I tried adding two leading zeros as suggested in another post.
Only enter leading zeros if your account number actually has leading zeros.
Even though the error says "account", it may be the routing number that is causing the problem.
Are you sure you are using the correct routing number? In a few states, a few large banks (such as Bank of America in Texas, Florida, Missouri, etc.) can have different routing numbers in different parts of the state, and in those less common circumstances the routing number for ACH electronic deposit may not be the same as the routing number shown on a paper check. Phone your bank customer service and ask for the electronic ACH direct-deposit routing number for your account, or check its website for the correct routing number that pairs with your account. Their website may have a FAQ about their routing numbers. Or if you have online banking, if you log into your bank account, it might tell you the routing number for your particular account there. As I mentioned, in a few states for a large bank you need the one for ACH electronic deposits in your part of the state, which can differ from the one on the paper check. Also be sure you aren't using a wire transfer number for the routing number.
