Direct Deposit

Direct deposit is an easy, convenient, and secure way to get your refund. You can include your banking information on your tax return and get your refund deposited into your bank account. Direct deposit is available whether you file your return electronically or by mail.

• Easy: When you file your return, enter your bank information. If you use a tax preparer, have the preparer do this as well. All you need is your bank routing number and account number.
• Convenient: The money goes directly into your bank account. You do not have to worry about cashing a check at the bank.  
• Secure: It's the most secure way to get your refund. You do not have to worry about lost or stolen checks. The Minnesota Department of Revenue protects your bank account information.

Using Direct Deposit

To use direct deposit, have your bank account and routing numbers ready when you file. 

If you do not use a bank, consider opening a free or low-cost account. Visit FDIC: GetBanked and MyCreditUnion.gov to learn more.
