I filed my taxes electronically and recieved my refund to my bank account. That bank account was compromised and will be closed as soon as I get back into the country. Is it possible to change my banking information to a different bank to recieve my stimulus check?

Doubtful that the changed banking information would get to the IRS in time.
Best see if you can get that compromised account closed ASAP.
i’m afraid it may be too late b/c irs will begin sending direct deposits starting 2morrow on the 28th.SORRY!

No, you cannot change the bank information once the return is accepted by the IRS. This is an anti-fraud measure.
If the account is no longer active your rebate will be rejected by the bank. When that happens it will be returned to the IRS. The IRS will then re-flow your rebate payment for payment by check that will be mailed to the address on your 2007 tax return. If you have moved since filing your 2007 return, file a form 8822 with the IRS to notify them of your new address. Also put in a change of address notice with the Post Office. The Post Office WILL forward rebate checks if you have a change of address on file with them.

No, you can’t change it now – you’ll get a paper check in the mail.
