If you have already submitted your tax return and the IRS has accepted it there is no way to change your refund method or direct deposit information. Once the IRS submits your direct deposit and it is rejected for the wrong routing number the IRS will mail you a refund check to the address on your return.

So if this is the case, will the IRS send the check to my...

I contacted the IRS, told them i entered the wrong routing number, and they said the preparer was withholding my money and they issued on the 5th of february. Make it make sense.

Assuming that you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return.

For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/

Be sure to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, as they may be able to adjust the routing number. If not, they will explain the next steps. .

@Alejandronegrete31 Here's instructions on how find out which account you selected for your deposit:

Open your return if it's not already open.
On the Tax Home screen with the amount of your refund and status, scroll down and select Add a State (don't worry, we're not adding a state) to access your tax forms and worksheets.
In the left menu, select Tax Tools then Print Center.
On the TurboTax Print Center screen, select Print, save or preview this year's return.
On the next TurboTax Print Center screen, select 2019 federal returns and Include Government and TurboTax Worksheets (optional), then select View or Print Forms.
The information will be on the first page, Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2019 Federal Tax Return next to Balance Due/Refund."

what happens if you owe money (to both state and federal) and you gave them the wrong routing number?

How do we correct that?

Go to this IRS website for information -https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal

Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.

Once your payment is cancelled you can use the IRS payment website with Direct Pay to pay the federal taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments

For the state payment you will need to access your state's tax authority website for how to cancel the payment and pay by Direct Debit for the state taxes owed.

So, they will just know that that's not my bank account? Then send me a check in the mail? I need to verify

Re: If you have already submitted your tax return and the IRS...

Cass0317 — Sat, 13 Feb 2021 16:07:42 GMT

@roscoe99 Yes, if you entered a incorrect routing number for your bank. Please see the IRS information below: IRS Refund Inquiries 18

You omit a digit in the account or routing number of an account and the number doesn't pass the IRS's validation check. In this case, the IRS will send you a paper check for the entire refund instead of a direct deposit.
You incorrectly enter an account or routing number and the number passes the validation check, but your designated financial institution rejects and returns the deposit to the IRS. The IRS will issue a paper check for the amount of that deposit once it is received.
You incorrectly enter an account or routing number that belongs to someone else and your designated financial institution accepts the deposit. You must work directly with the respective financial institution to recover your funds. See the last solution bullet below.

You may also see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information:

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