Once your return has
been accepted (or
mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit.
If the info you provided is
for a closed or invalid account, the
government will just mail you a refund check.
Now, if your recently-filed
return is in pending status,
wait until it's either accepted or rejected.
·
If rejected, simply open your
return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update
your bank account before re-submitting your return (don't forget to also take
care of whatever problem caused the rejection).
·
If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail.

NOTE:
If you have already filed and your tax return shows Pending, you will need to wait
until the IRS either Accepts or Rejects the tax return. If your return
is Rejected, then you will
be able to change the information, just follow the steps above.
If the IRS is unable to
deposit your refund in your account, they will mail you a refund check.
