The US tax season of 2023 has already kicked in on January 23. This year, taxpayers are getting 3 additional days to file their tax return since the tax deadline is April 18 instead of April 15, which is the standard deadline, as it falls on Saturday and April 17 is Emancipation Day, which is a holiday in Washington, DC.  But don’t wait until the last minute to file your tax return.  A good reason to file your taxes as soon as possible is that you don’t have to wait until the deadline to get your tax refund.

Last year, scores of Americans received good fortune with the tax refund due to the availability of pandemic- related benefits. But this year IRS has stated that the amount will be smaller compared to the previous year’s tax refund estimates as all those benefits have come to an end. IRS has taken some additional steps to improve its services to support the taxpayers such as increasing in-person staff and hiring more than 5,000 new telephone assistors to provide them with better experiences.

IRS states that the fastest way to receive your 2023 tax refund is to e-file and select direct deposit. They assure that this method is safe and secure as it uses the same electronic transfer system used for depositing the benefits of all Social Security and Veterans Affairs. So, there isn’t the least possibility of it going stolen, uncashed, or destroyed.

Let’s look at what happens when you e-file your tax return

• When you e-file your tax return the average time that would take for the IRS to accept your tax return is 24 to 48 hours. While in the case of mailing, there would be a delay of a few weeks to accept your tax return as the IRS need to enter all the details in their computer system manually.
• IRS will send you a notification about the actual date they accepted your tax return when you e-file and that shows you are included in the IRS refund timetable.
• Once your e-file return is accepted, mostly, it would take less than 21 days for IRS to issue refunds.

How to set up Direct Deposit?

• When using tax software, choose Direct Deposit as your refund method.
• Enter your routing number and bank account number correctly.
• You can find your account and routing number on your bank’s website when you sign in or else you can call your branch.
• You can add your bank account information even if you are not getting a refund.
