After you file

My return is status is stuck on ready to mail.  by now I want to just use direct deposit.  How can I change that?


As VolvoGirl said, if you didn't actually print and mail it, then it has not been filed.  You can either go ahead and mail it, or if you wish to change methods, you can open your return back up using the method she suggested and try to efile the return.  While it's open, you can also change your refund method to direct deposit, if desired.     As SweetieJean said, you can use direct deposit on either an efiled return or a mailed return.

 

There is no fee for direct deposit of a refund.   However, there is a service fee of 39.99 (44.99 for California filers) if you choose to pay any TurboTax fees out of the Federal refund.
