After you file

Yes, when you e-file through the Online product, what is sent to the IRS are not the forms themselves but a data packet of all the data in your return, including your bank routing number and your account number.

 

The Xs over these same boxes on the printed (PDF) copy of your return are merely for the sake of your privacy - the IRS indeed got your bank routing information.
