Reasons to Choose Direct Deposit for Your Tax Refund

The best way to get your refund is by direct deposit. Here are some good reasons why you should use direct deposit in 2016:

It is Fast

Want your refund fast? File your tax return electronically and use direct deposit. Even if you file a paper tax return, you can still use direct deposit.

It is SecureThere is no risk of having your refund check stolen or lost because your refund goes directly into your account. This is the same electronic transfer system used to deposit about 98 percent of all Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits into millions of accounts.

It is EasyUsing direct deposit is easy. When you e-file, just follow the instructions in the tax software. If you file a paper return, the tax form instructions will guide you. Always double check that you entered the correct bank account and routing number.

It is ConvenientWith direct deposit, your refund goes directly into your bank account. There’s no need to wait for your check to come in the mail.

Saves You MoneyDirect deposit also saves you money. It costs the nation’s taxpayers more than $1 for every paper refund check issued but only a dime for each direct deposit made.
