Use Direct Deposit for Your Tax Refund


3/20/2024

Why use direct deposit to receive your refund?

It's free and it eliminates any chance of your refund check getting lost, stolen or destroyed. Also, there's no possibility of forgetting to cash it since your refund goes straight into your bank account. Plus, you'll get the refund faster because it's electronic and doesn't have to travel through the mail.

How can you receive your refund via direct deposit?

When you file your taxes, you'll have to indicate your refund method. If you use tax software, you can select the option and provide your bank account number and routing number. Similarly, if you file by paper, mark direct deposit on your return and provide your bank account and routing numbers.

Where can you find your bank account and routing numbers?

  • On a check, the routing number is the nine-digit number in the bottom left corner, while your account number is the number directly to the right of it.
  • Check your bank statements.
  • Visit our website: MNB Bank McCook, Nebraska - MNB Bank
  • Contact your bank directly to request the information.

How can you track your refund?

Use the IRS Where's My Refund? tool to track the status of your refund. You can also use the IRS2Go official mobile app.
