How to change bank account

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.

If you have already filed your tax return you cannot change banking information now.  Once you file your return it is too late to change banking information.

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

If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong

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

how do I get my refund and when?

You are commenting on an old thread. Did you enter the wrong bank account number on your tax return? Once your bank rejects the deposit, the IRS will mail your refund check to the address on your tax return. For more information please see the below TurboTax help article. 

What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit?

Need to change my bank account information on my taxes

If you did not yet file your return, you would just need to go back to the File tab and walk back through those steps.  You will be able to change your information there. 

If you already filed and you need to change it you would need to call the IRS at 800-829-1040.

There is no option to change banking information in the FILE section.
