Make sure your direct deposit information is accurate

By filing electronically and getting a return via direct deposit, you choose to get your return in the fastest way possible. However, if the direct deposit information that you filed is incorrect, it might cause unnecessary delays.

Don’t forget to include the right direct deposit information on your tax return. Because if any of the numbers, either the routing ones or the account numbers, are incorrect even by one digit, it might cause a delay in return.
