How to Set Up Direct Deposit for Your Tax Refund
Switching to electronic payments is simple and can be done when filing your tax return.
Step 1: Provide Bank Account Information
When filing your taxes—either online or through a tax professional—you can enter your:
- Bank routing number
- Checking or savings account number
Step 2: Choose Direct Deposit
Select direct deposit refund option instead of requesting a mailed check.
Step 3: Verify Your Information
Double-check your banking information to avoid delays.
Even a small error in account numbers can cause your IRS refund payment to be rejected or delayed.
