How can I direct deposit my tax refund to my GO2bank account?

1. Get your GO2bank routing and account numbers
Log in to your account or log in to the GO2bank app to get your direct deposit info

2. Enter your routing and account numbers on your tax forms
Mark “Checking” on your tax form. Be sure the name on your tax forms matches the name on your GO2bank account

3. File your return
We’ll post your refund to your account as soon as we receive the instructions from the IRS, which can be up to 5 days early for your federal tax refund.*

*Early tax refund deposit applies to federal tax returns filed directly with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and depends on IRS timing, payment instructions and bank fraud prevention measures. Early deposit does not apply to GO2bank accounts opened at a tax professional’s office. The name and Social Security number on file with the IRS must match your GO2bank account to prevent fraud restrictions on the account.
