    Once the tax return has been filed the bank information for direct deposit or direct debit cannot be changed.

     

    If for a tax refund the direct deposit will be rejected and returned to the IRS.  The IRS will mail a refund check to the address on the tax return.

     

    If for a direct debit, go to this IRS website for information - https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal

     

    • Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
    • Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
    • Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.
