After you file

@ doninique012 @donnadinkins @ BobPos

Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your direct deposit information for your refund through TurboTax. If the information provided is for a closed or invalid account the government will mail you a refund check anyway. This IRS will not change the direct deposit information in their system for your tax return refund.

Now, if your recently e-filed return is in pending status, you need to wait and see if it is either accepted or rejected.

  • If rejected, open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before re-submitting your return with any applicable corrected information.
  • If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail or will be direct deposited if a valid bank account was listed when you filed.

If you have not e-filed or mailed your tax return already you can change how you want to receive your anticipated refund, go to the "File" section to make the change:

  • Login to TurboTax and go into your tax timeline, select the File tab.
  • There are three steps listed. Click on Start/Revisit next to Step 2.
  • You'll have the choice for in my bank for direct deposit or paper check to receive in the mail, make sure the I want my refund deposited into this account box is unchecked.
