I even asked for the deposit to be early. I called my bank and the account number I gave them was invalid so it will be kicked back to intuit. Where do I go from there and how fast am I able to get my refund

The direct deposit will be rejected by the bank you chose to receive the tax refund since the account number you entered was incorrect. The bank will return the tax refund to the IRS. The IRS will then mail the refund as a check to the address you entered on your tax return.

Make sure the address you entered on your Form 1040 is the correct mailing address for you. Open all mail, even if it looks like junk mail.

The incorrect banking information and the resulting return of the refund to the IRS, etc. will delay your refund for a number of weeks. TurboTax will be unable to honor the "5 day early" offer you chose.
