Steps to Change Your Bank Account and Routing Number for Your Tax Refund

If necessary, you can change a wrong bank account and routing number for a tax refund. However, the process is different depending on whether or not you’ve successfully filed your return.

If you haven’t yet filed your return, or if the IRS rejected your return:

Go to the File section of the H&R Block Online product.
Choose how you want to file.
Choose Direct Deposit.

When prompted, enter your routing number and account number. Re-enter the same information to confirm.

If you’ve already filed your return, you can review your direct deposit information on a copy of your return.

If the IRS has accepted your return already, you won’t be able to change your bank and routing number for your tax refund. You can only request that the IRS issue you a check – and that’s only if the return has not yet been processed. If you don’t contact the IRS, they’ll first try to send your refund to the bank account and routing number listed in the return. If the bank returns your direct deposit, the IRS will send a paper check to the mailing address listed on your return.

If you want to change your bank account or routing number for a tax refund, call the IRS at 800-829-1040.

If you entered the wrong direct deposit account information, you have options to still get your refund:

If you haven't filed yet, you can still change your bank account info for direct deposit.

If the info you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check.

If you entered a valid (but incorrect) account number that doesn't belong to you, there's usually nothing to worry about. Most banks won't deposit tax refunds into accounts where the names don't match. You can try calling the IRS to stop the direct deposit if your return hasn't been posted to their system yet. For security reasons, the IRS can't re-route your refund to a different account, so you’ll get your refund via a paper check

If your return is rejected, you can update your account info along with the issue that caused the rejection. Open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before re-submitting your return
