@kcorrodore Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's typically too late to change direct deposit bank account information. If the information provided is for a closed or invalid account the government will mail you a refund check. Now, if your recently e-filed return is in pending status, wait to see if it is either accepted or rejected.
- If rejected, open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before re-submitting your return with any applicable corrected information.
- If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail or will be direct deposited if a valid bank account was listed when you filed.
Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information.
You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and see if they will delete the bank account information for you, they are then required to mail you a paper check but depending on your refund status they may not be able to do it for you.
Here are some tips when contacting the IRS:
- First choose your language.
- Then do not choose the first choice regarding REFUND, or it will send you to an automated phone line.
- Instead, press 2 for personal income tax questions.
- Then press 1 for form, tax history, or payment.
- Then press 3 for all other questions.
- Then press 2 for all other questions to be transferred to an agent
If you need to inquire about a state refund please contact your state Department of Revenue.
