How to Check on Income Tax Returns for Direct Deposit
The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, offers taxpayers the option of having their tax refunds directly deposited into a bank account. Direct deposit allows a taxpayer to receive her refund much faster than if she elects to have the refund mailed in the form of a paper check. If you have filed your tax return and are expecting a refund to be direct deposited, you may check on the status of the refund by following a few simple steps.
