Direct Deposit

Enter your bank account number and bank routing number on your state income tax return form to have your state refund direct deposited into your bank account. Direct deposited refunds are issued faster than paper checks.
Paper Checks

Have your refund mailed to you by choosing not to include your bank account information on your tax return. Receiving your refund by mail takes one to two weeks longer than having it deposited into your account.
