What is the fastest way to get my tax refund?
While processing times vary from taxpayer to taxpayer, the fastest way to receive your tax refund is to e-file your tax return and have your refund direct deposited to your bank account. That way, the IRS can drop your money into your lap as soon as the amount is ready to be issued.
To choose direct deposit instead of a mailed check, make sure to specify how you would like to receive your refund when you file; this would occur during the check out process if you file on 1040.com.
