Narrative:

The PIC received the clearance and made corrections to an already stored flight plan. He accidentally forgot to delete a couple points in the FMS. We were issued wooly direct bross. However; we had our usual flight plan of wooly V214 swann V268 bross in our FMS. ATC questioned our clearance. As I was trying to verify it for him; he issued us a 20 degree left turn. I acknowledged we were issued direct bross and he told us we had missed it. We were then issued a direct bross clearance. It is easy to get complacent when you fly a certain route often. Both pilots need to do checks and balances; and remain fully in the loop. Recommendation is for each pilot to verify the clearance on paper is what is actually typed into the box.
