I was going through my tax return and noticed you have the wrong account number! What do I do now? I called the IRS and they said they can’t help me.

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

And how is it "THAT TURBO TAX has the wrong number, I do believe that "we" the customers put our own banking information into the software. And I also believe TURBO TAX gives you multiply screens to look at to verify it before you submit for "EFILE. So it's on you bud. BCHRIST771
