Change my bank info

TurboTax Deluxe Online

Best answer by bluedeb

Your bank information for 2019 cannot be changed once your return has been accepted & processed. When you file your 2020 tax return, you can change your banking information when you go through the steps to file your return. The IRS will most likely use information from your 2019 return. If your banking information is incorrect, you will automatically be switched to receiving a check.

Can you send a paper check?

MichelleLO

If you have already transmitted or mailed your returns, you are not able to make any changes to your refund options. If you filed your return with outdated direct deposit information, once your financial institution rejects the deposit, the government will mail your refund check.
Please see the FAQ: What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit? for additional information.

I neen to change my bank account before i file

Rianna_l

If my bank information is different now & there is no way to change it, how long will it take for me to receive my stimulus as a check in the mail?

@Rianna_l No one here would know when you will receive a check. It is up to the IRS when the bank bounces back your deposit to when they will mail the check. It can take a couple weeks.

This is the most original, non copy and paste answer here, thank you

How would change my bank information

TiffanyL

If you've already filed and your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit. If you have not filed yet, you can use the link provided below to change your bank account information:

What if it is still being processed, can I still change it? And I owe $225. To turbo tax, but I haven't received my federal taxes. It is still being processed. Not my fault.

Once a tax return has been filed and accepted you cannot change the method or means to receive a tax refund.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for payment of the account fees - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/charges-and-fees/help/why-was-my-bank-account-auto-debited-for-turbotax-fees/01/26102

I no longer use that account number you have on file. I have a new account. Thanks

@Passion29

We are not sure why you are telling us that your bank account is different.

The only time you can change banking information in TurboTax is when you are ready to file your next tax return---then you can enter banking information in the FILE section before you file. There is no other time that you can enter new banking information here to submit it to the IRS. The only time banking information goes from TurboTax to the IRS is when you file a tax return and enter the information during the filing process.

If the banking information you entered on your tax return for your 2020 refund is now incorrect, then the refund will be sent back to the IRS and the IRS will mail a check to the address on your tax return.

If you are referring to an Advantage account that you will use to purchase your 2021 tax software:
