If your return has been accepted, it is too late to change your bank account for direct deposit or any other tax information while the IRS is processing the return.
- If the information you entered is for a closed or invalid account, the bank will not accept it and the IRS will automatically mail you a refund check.
- If the information you entered is someone else's account, most banks will not deposit tax refunds into accounts where names do not match up.
The best way for you to track your federal refund is to track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund site. You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status.
If your recently filed return is in pending status, wait until it is either accepted or rejected.
- If rejected, you can update your account and any issues that caused the rejection. Open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before re-submitting your return.
- If accepted, you will get your refund check in the mail.
