The IRS does not have my direct deposit information. What can I do?

In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.

We don't have a good answer for that yet. 

I suggest you set up an IRS account and see if you can edit your banking info there. 

You could also see if the bank can reactivate your old account so that you can accept the stimulus check that way.

I have a new account number how could I change it

My bank account information has changed since I filed. Can I update it using the tool?

 

Yes, in some situations. Get My Payment cannot update direct deposit bank account information after an Economic Impact Payment has been scheduled for delivery. To help protect against potential fraud, the tool also does not allow people to change direct deposit bank account information already on file with the IRS. However, people who did not use direct deposit on their last tax return to receive a refund, or if their direct deposit information was inaccurate and resulted in a refund check being mailed, will be able to provide that information and speed their payment with a deposit into their bank account.

My mom's bank account information is correct on the IRS website, but the message shows that the deposit is going into a different account. My mom is a non filer so she doesn't have to do a tax return and did not go through a tax service. Why is this happening?

TurboTax does not store your bank account routing and account number.  When completing your tax return you enter the bank routing and account number in the File section of the program.  The bank information is sent with your tax return to the IRS or your state.

My bank account information is different now

It depends.

 

If you have not filed your return yet, you can make this change in the File section of the program.

 

Changing Direct Deposit information

Entering bank direct deposit information

 

If you have already filed your return and if it is accepted when the IRS starts accepting tax returns, you cannot make any changes to your return as it has been transmitted to the IRS.  If your bank account is no longer there, the deposit will be rejected and your refund will be mailed on a paper check to the address on the tax return filed.
