Receive Your Refund Faster with Direct Deposit

Want your refund faster? Have it deposited directly into your bank account. More taxpayers are choosing direct deposit as the way to receive their federal tax refunds. More than 61 million people had their tax refunds deposited directly into their bank accounts in 2007. It’s a secure and convenient way to get your money in your pocket faster.

Security. The payment is secure — there is no check to get lost. Each year thousands of refund checks are returned by the US Post Office to the IRS as undeliverable mail. Direct deposit eliminates undeliverable mail and is also the best way to guard against having a tax refund stolen.
Convenience. There’s no special trip to the bank to deposit a check!
To request direct deposit, follow the instructions for "Refund" on your tax return.
