How do I enter info for direct deposit on my 2022 return? I have always done it, but cannot find a way to enter the info this year.

Did you already e-file? If you did NOT e-file you can go to the FILE section and enter/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.

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. Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return. Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information

I questioned about Direct Deposit because I did a print preview and saw that the info was xxxx.

After I said I would e-file, the screen came up asking for the info. Before, when I said not to e-file I could not get the info screen. Once I was able to put in the info everything was fine.
