A couple of specific scenarios:

Visit turbotax.com to file a tax return, it asks for your bank account before you fill out the tax information. But it's not required, unless you're reporting interest earnings on that account.

On turbotax.com, after you fill out the tax form you have a refund of overpaid taxes. The site asks for your bank account in order to arrange for the refund to be deposited, or instead they can arrange for you to receive a paper check and you don't have to give your bank account.



I misworded these hypothetical scenarios, making them seem like they would actually happen today. I don't recall that it asks you for bank account numbers before you even begin. It probably doesn't. I have used turbotax for years and had pretty much the same bank accounts during that time. It does ask for the numbers at reasonable times. If you don't give them you can still use Turbotax to take care of business.
