If you are receiving a refund from the IRS, you have the option to have your Federal refund deposited into two or three different accounts at a bank or financial institution in the United States. Keep in mind that you must choose to receive your Federal refund by Direct Deposit and your name must be associated with each bank account provided.
*According to the IRS, you cannot have your Federal refund deposited into more than one account or buy Paper Series I Savings Bonds if you are filing Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation.
[#AFFILIATE#] Entry: If you would like to allocate your Federal refund to more than one bank account in your [#AFFILIATE#] account, you may do so during the e-file process. Once in the e-file process, you will be asked for banking information for direct deposit on the Bank Account page. Provide your routing and account and enter the applicable amount of refund to be deposited into that account and select "Continue". You will be returned back to the same screen where you will select the button to "Add" another bank account. Complete the required information for the additional bank account along with the remainder of your refund to be deposited and select "Continue". [#AFFILIATE#] will automatically generate Form 8888 to send electronically with your return.
*You may only choose this option with [#AFFILIATE#] if you choose to pay your [#AFFILIATE#] fees with a debit, credit, or pre-paid card. This is not an option if you choose to have our fees deducted from your Federal refund.
