For security reasons, we cannot modify the routing number, account number, or the type of account from what was entered when you filed your return. If wrong banking information is given to us, the bank will reject the refund. Once we receive the refund back from the bank, the Comptroller's Office will issue and mail a paper check to you.
What happens if I enter my direct deposit information wrong?
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.
How do I fix the wrong bank account on my tax return?
If you want to change your bank account or routing number for a tax refund, call the IRS at 800-829-1040.
What happens if you accidentally do something wrong on your taxes?
If you realize there was a mistake on your return, you can amend it using Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. For example, a change to your filing status, income, deductions, credits, or tax liability means you need to amend your return.
