Sometimes you need to change where a refund goes after you've already submitted your request or claim. This might mean switching the bank account for a tax refund, updating payment details for an insurance payout, or redirecting a business refund to a different address. The process and your options depend on which type of refund you're handling and how far along it is in the system.
