How can I amend my 2025 return, form 1040 for direct deposit information?

Filed return, accepted and then bank closed the account that it was being direct deposited to. It was to go through yesterday but was sent back. Is there a way to update the direct deposit?

Sorry --no. Amending is not the solution to the problem.

If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong or closed

If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected. If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it. The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS.

You may get this notice— a cp53a notice

If you take NO action—-the IRS will freeze your refund for at least six weeks and then mail you a check.

If your refund is sent back to the IRS—- make certain that the address you entered on your Form 1040 is correct. And…open all mail, even if it looks like junk mail.

And……if you choose “refund processing” or the “5 day early” offer, those involve a third party bank; sadly, you will have a lot of additional aggravation in tracking down your refund and getting a check.

Since you entered an incorrect bank account and your tax return has been accepted your refund will not be direct deposited. There are other options, refer to the TurboTax Help article What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit? for more information.
