How do I change my refund method?

As long as you haven't filed yet (or you e-filed, but got rejected), you can change your refund method.

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.

1. Open your return in TurboTax.
2. Go to the File section in the left menu.
3. Next to Step 2: Your refund info select Revisit.
4. Choose your desired refund method and select Continue.

Unfortunately, once your e-filed return has been accepted or you already mailed it, it's too late to change your refund.

There's one exception: if you chose to apply this year's refund to next year's taxes, you can request a check refund instead.
