Change account for direct deposit after filing? PA state only

[jklcpa]

Affects PA state return only.
Client called and said her checking account was hacked into and recommended opening a new account to change account number.  Anyone know if it is possible to change the account for DD after the fact, or how long PA is taking to issue refunds?   Returns were filed on 4/11, so not long ago.

If it's with the same bank and just a different account number the bank should reroute it for them. No need to do anything with the state. I don't think you can with PA anyway.  I had clients that this happened with this year, and they received their refund just fine.

Banks that I am familiar with will reroute deposits, but they will not reroute debits unless you give them a list of outstanding checks and other debits.

Have client talk with her bank.

Thank you.all. I did tell her to talk to the bank to see if the deposit could be rerouted. I haven't heard back if that is possible.
