Changing Direct Deposit Number for Stimulus Check

bl0528 — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 22:19:10 GMT

I had inputted an incorrect number on my original direct deposit and it was sent to green dot bank to issue me a paper check. With the stimulus check coming from the COVID-19 package recently passed, I want to avoid the same issue of having a paper check sent and waiting weeks for the check. How do I go about correcting the error I made when I originally filed? I have attempted to contact the IRS directly to update my information but the office appears to be close. Is there a solution to do this online via Turbo Tax since you are working with the IRS for those who have yet to file their taxes and working to get their stimulus check? Thanks.

If your return has been accepted, you cannot update or add banking information. The IRS is going to give taxpayers the chance to enter their own banking information. See the following:

The IRS does not have my direct deposit information. What can I do?

In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.

The IRS is launching a new app "Get My Payment" where you can update banking information.

It should be active around the 17th.

It depends.

If you have not filed your return yet, you can make this change in the File section of the program.

Changing Direct Deposit information

Entering bank direct deposit information

If you have already filed your return and it has been accepted, you cannot make any changes to your return as it has already been transmitted to the IRS. If your bank account is no longer there, the deposit will be rejected and your refund will be mailed on a paper check to the address on the tax return filed.

Once you file the DD info cannot be changed ... once the old bank rejects the deposit it is sent back to the IRS where it is automatically converted to a paper check mailed to the address on the return. This conversion usually takes 2 - 3 weeks however these are not usual times so expect it to take much longer.

You don't have the wrong information and it needs to be changed so I can get my f****** check please

Once a return is filed the IRS will not allow a change of DD information ... this is a safety precaution and there is nothing TT or you can do about it. Once a DD is issued and the bank rejects the deposit the IRS automatically switches to a check mailed to the address on the return. Normally this conversion will take 2-3 weeks however we are not in normal times so it may take much longer. All you can do is what the progress report on the IRS web site : https://www.irs.gov/refunds

And how exactly do I change my information for my direct deposit tell me that

Re: Changing Direct Deposit Number for Stimulus Check

It cannot be updated. If the account the funds are sent to is no longer valid they will be returned and the IRS will mail you a debit card or check instead.
