Direct deposit is the fastest way to get your paycheck into your checking account. Several banks make this process even faster by implementing early direct deposit features. What Is Direct Deposit? Direct deposit is an electronic payment from one bank account to another. For example, money may move from an employer’s bank account to an employee’s bank account, although there are several other ways to use direct deposit.

Direct Deposit Account Type

Taxpayers who did not have direct deposit information on record with the IRS can now enter or change that info on the IRS website Get My Payment tool.

• With Direct Deposit, electronic payments are made directly into your bank account — there’s no check, and no trip to the bank. It’s just a predictable way of receiving money, and a more convenient way of benefiting from digital tools and money management apps that can help you budget.
• The third set is the one you don't need for direct deposit, as it's the number of the individual check. Check this IRS page for more help with locating your routing and account numbers.
• Dec 23, 2020 The new direct deposit limits will help eliminate this type of abuse. Direct deposit must only be made to accounts bearing the taxpayer’s name. Preparer fees cannot be recovered by using Form 8888 PDF to split the refund or by preparers opening a joint bank account with taxpayers.

The IRS has added new features to the “Get My Payment” tool on its website to help more taxpayers receive and track their coronavirus stimulus payments. Taxpayers who did not have direct deposit information on record with the IRS can now enter or change that info on the IRS website Get My Payment tool.

The enhancements, which started last week and continued through the weekend, adjusted several items related to the online tool, which debuted on April 15. The additional changes will help millions of additional taxpayers with new or expanded information and access to adding direct deposit information.

“We delivered Get My Payment with new capabilities that did not exist during any similar relief program, including the ability to receive direct deposit information that accelerates payments to millions of people,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “These further enhancements will help even more taxpayers. We urge people who haven’t received a payment date yet to visit Get My Payment again for the latest information. IRS teams worked long hours to deliver Get My Payment in record time, and we will continue to make improvements to help Americans.”

“We encourage people to check back in and visit Get My Payment,” Rettig added. “These enhancements will help many taxpayers. By using Get My Payment now, more people will be able to get payments quickly by being able to add direct deposit information.”

How to use Get My PaymentAvailable only on IRS.gov, the online application is safe and secure to use. Taxpayers only need a few pieces of information to quickly obtain the status of their payment and, where needed, provide their bank account information. Having a copy of their most recent tax return can help speed the process.

Get My Payment cannot update bank account information after an Economic Impact Payment has been scheduled for delivery. To help protect against potential fraud, the tool also does not allow people to change bank account information already on file with the IRS.
