Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your direct deposit bank information in TurboTax. If the information provided is for a closed or invalid account the government will mail you a refund check. Additionally the IRS will not update or change bank account information on an accepted return but will mail you a check.

Now, if your recently e-filed return is in pending status, wait to 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 or update your bank account information, 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.

Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information.

I had to mail in my 2019 taxes and it says that is has been received but not accepted yet. I have a different account number now. Do they put in the new account number right away or wait until my taxes have been accepted?

You can try calling the IRS to stop the direct deposit, if your return hasn't posted to their system yet (and you're willing to get your refund via paper check). For security reasons, the IRS cannot re-route your refund to a different account. For more info, please click the link below.

What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit?

I am sorry, we do not have access to your TurboTax account, and can not update your bank account information. However, the IRS is setting up a portal for folks to add/update their bank account information. For the latest information on this, please follow this link: TurboTax Blog or the IRS Website
