ICYMI: DIRECT DEPOSIT NOW AVAILABLE FOR ELECTRONICALLY FILED AMENDED RETURNS

Anyone filing electronic amended returns Form 1040-X now has the option to select direct deposit for quicker delivery of refunds. As part of the funding for the Inflation Reduction Act, this is the latest step the IRS is taking to improve service this filing season.

"This is a big win for taxpayers and another achievement as we transform the IRS to improve taxpayer experiences," said IRS Acting Commissioner Doug O'Donnell. "This important update will cut refund time and reduce inconvenience for people who file amended returns. We always encourage direct deposit whenever possible. Getting tax refunds into taxpayers' hands quickly without worry of a lost or stolen paper check just makes sense."
