Did you already e-file? If you did NOT e-file you can go to the FILE section and change how you want to receive your refund. If you want direct deposit you need the routing number and your own account number.

You cannot change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted. The IRS does not allow it.

If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong

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

The anticipated stimulus check details are still being worked out by the government at this time. We do not have information on how or if you will be able to update direct deposit information with the IRS. Once things are finalized we will be able to provide more guidance. You can also stay updated by checking back on the following links.

If you moved you will want to update the IRS about any applicable address change you may have had since you filed your most recent tax return. Please refer to Update My Information for more information.

@penny59 You just posted "yes" to a thread that already had posts from multiple people. We have no idea what you are saying "yes" to. Is there something you need help with? If so, please give us a complete question or a complete sentence so we know how to help.

Need to change bank account to get stimulus check

Before the possible second stimulus check, have we figured out how we can change the bank that the direct deposit will go into? The thread doesn't seem to address any of the questions. My bank is no longer the bank and I've moved since. I want to make sure the payment doesn't get lost in limbo.

@always28smiling Congress has not voted for a second stimulus check. IF they do, then you can pay attention to the national news and find out how to change your banking information with the IRS if you need to. Or if and when there is a secons stimulus check, TT will probably be able to give you a link to whatever IRS site allows you to change banking information. But, no, there are no guidelines now. If you need to change your address with the IRS you can do that now by sending in a change of address to the IRS.
