Yes, it took a bit of time, but I now have both the people I had last year. On the Canadian side, I wish they would offer that upfront as an option when you sign in for the first time each year,  that if your person from last year is there, that you can request them. The American side does do this and it’s very comforting to have the same person each year  I am so thankful that I was able to work this out. I am a dual citizen, so I need to file on both sides❤️

@ loyodreadhead17  This is a PUBLIC Internet forum.  You should not post any personal info in this forum.  You can edit your question above.   To do that, click the tiny blue 3-dot icon just to the right of your question and choose "Edit" to remove your personal info.   Is your refund supposed to go directly to your bank account from the IRS, or did you have any options such as "pay fees out of refund" or "Up to 5 days early"offer or Refund Advance?   Those options use a third-party bank to first receive the funds from the IRS.      This answer below assumes you were getting a routine direct deposit directly from the IRS:   No one can fix the account number for you once the IRS has started processing your return.  Does the IRS tool say your refund has been approved and has been sent to your bank? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   If the bank rejects a direct deposit  that was coming directly from the IRS, it will go back to the IRS.  What can happen after that is new starting this year.   New this year: If the bank rejects the payment and sends it back to the IRS, then be aware of a new IRS feature that started this year.   Because of a recent Executive Order, the IRS is trying to avoid issuing paper checks and phasing them out whenever possible.   Starting this year, if a bank sends the refund back to the IRS, a paper check may not automatically be sent.   Instead, it's possible that the refund would be frozen up to 30 days, and the IRS may give you a chance to correct the deposit info within that 30 days by using your Online IRS account (or establishing one) to update the deposit information.   The IRS may send you a letter called a CP53E notice.  It may take a couple of weeks to arrive after the initial deposit was returned to the IRS.   IRS:  Understanding your CP53E notice https://www.irs.gov/individuals/understanding-your-cp53e-notice   If the update in the Online IRS Account is unsuccessful, or if you don't respond to the CP53E notice to update it, the IRS says it will ultimately issue the paper check after 6 weeks have gone by.   There are FAQs about the process on that IRS page I linked above.   NOTE:  If you used one of the options I mentioned above that use a third-party bank, we may be able to tell you what would happen if the funds are sent back to the underlying bank for that particular option.

Some states are fairly quick with refunds, while other states can take a long time processing returns--even several weeks--as they crack down on detecting fraudulent returns.     Here are some things you should check:   First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund.   When you scroll down further there, you will see a link for your state.   FAQ:  How do I track my state refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

The amending process has not yet opened up for 2025 returns.  The preparation of Form 1040X is expected to become available late on Feb 25 or morning of Feb 26.   In the meantime, do NOT make any changes in your return.  When you start the amending process, it has to start off exactly as originally filed.   If you were due a Federal refund, you should wait for your original return to fully process at the IRS and that you have received the refund.   Before you prepare your amended return, also see the info in this FAQ and video:   FAQ:  How do I amend my Federal tax return for this current year? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...   If you amend the Federal return, you may also have to amend the state return (if applicable.)

What are you looking at?  Is this a printout of your return after you filed? Are you seeing account and routing numbers that you don't recognize at all?   Was the IRS refund supposed to go directly from the IRS to your bank account (or card), or did you use of these options:   Did you pay your product fees out of your refund, or did you pay upfront with credit/debit card? Did you select the "Up to 5 days early" option? Did you have a Refund Advance?   Those options use third-party intermediary banks to first receive your funds from the IRS.
