I wanted to sign up for direct deposit for my taxes and realized I didn't put my entire account number in the boxes... I know that this will only delay my return and I still will get it... but I'm getting anxious about getting the money as I have unplanned bills that I just received and would like to see if I can get the money as soon as possible.

When the direct deposit does not work, the IRS will simply send you a check (which will delay your refund by 2-6 weeks). You can check on the status of your refund by going to the IRS website and clicking on the link for "Where is my refund."

It's not possible to correct the bank details once your return is filed. The IRS will try to transmit your refund. Since the numbers are wrong, the transfer will bounce. The IRS will then queue your refund for a paper check via mail. This will typically delay your refund by 2 - 6 weeks. Unfortunately there is no way to speed up the process.

If you dont mind waiting on hold, you could call the IRS (they have a 1-800 number) and have them add the entire account number. I know they have a customer service line, but again....might be on hold for a while.
