Once the tax return has been filed and accepted the method of receiving the tax refund cannot be changed.

I recently moved states. Is their a way to get it sent to where I moved to?

You will need to report the change of address to the IRS.

Go to this IRS website for a change of address - https://www.irs.gov/faqs/irs-procedures/address-changes

@minviolet - to reduce the risk of fraud, the IRS doesn't permit changes to the way the refund is made after the return has been filed, so if you requested the refund via paper check on the tax return, there is no way to change that once the return has been accepted.

Mail in form 8822 to the IRS AND put in forwarding with the post office if you have not done so yet.
