    the IRS will paper mail you the refund.

     

    to mitigate against fraud risk, once you file you tax return, you can not change the banking information. that is an IRS rule.

    If you e-filed:

    Banking information for direct deposit is wrong or closed

    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

    In general, the IRS should mail a paper check in 3-4 weeks.  If it is more than 8 weeks, you can ask for a Trace of the refund.
