Did you already e-file? If you did NOT e-file you can go to the FILE section and change how you want to receive your refund. If you want direct deposit you need the routing number and your own account number.

You cannot change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted. The IRS does not allow it.

The refund can only go to you. If it goes to someone else the bank will reject it and send it back. Then the IRS will mail you a check the address on your return. Or are you having the fees deducted from your federal refund? Then it goes through the third party bank to take the fees out. Or did you sign up for the Advance? Then you have to use a Credit Karma account.
