If your return was already filed then it is not possible to change the number unless the return is rejected. Then you will be able to go back into your return and make the correction.

If the return is accepted then the IRS will try and deposit the refund into the wrong bank. Once the bank notices that your account number and routing number are not correct they will reject the refund. It will then go back to the IRS and they will send you a paper check instead.

I hope this is helpful to you!
