Although a large proportion of US citizens will already send their tax returns to the IRS electronically by 2025, a significant number of Americans will not. And, while sending documents electronically does increase the likelihood of receiving a tax refund, it is not the only thing we can do to that end.
If we want to get our tax refund from the IRS as soon as possible, as long as we are eligible, we must consider a number of factors. However, it is not only possible to receive the Tax Refund sooner by focusing on one of these factors, as it is the combination of all of them that allows us to enjoy the tax money as soon as possible.
How to get the Tax Refund from the IRS as soon as possible?
The IRS informs us via social media that the fastest and most direct way for us to receive the Tax Refund payment into our bank account is to use Direct Deposit as the collection method.
This method of collection ensures that the funds are available as soon as the Internal Revenue Service transfers them to our bank account. Even if it is not immediate, it is faster than going through a physical check.
If we have to wait for the check in physical format to arrive at our house, keep in mind that snail mail can be much slower at certain times of the year. The higher the volume of physical mail traffic, the slower it will be. And, in the case of the Tax Refund, we may encounter such delays.
However, Direct Deposit avoids this problem because the money is sent electronically rather than by snail mail. As a result, if we want to receive our Tax Refund as soon as possible, we should activate this method of collection. As a result, if we are eligible for a Tax Refund, we can receive the money without having to wait or go through any additional steps.
Whether you file electronically or on paper, direct deposit gives you access to your refund faster than a paper check. Learn more about #IRS direct deposit at: https://t.co/8dF7SHWYze pic.twitter.com/WwbvhgXvJa

In addition to all of this, we must consider the possibility that the physical check will be lost along the way, forcing us to claim it so that the IRS can resend it to us.
It all depends on our own interests, but one thing is certain: if we activate Direct Deposit, we will receive our Tax Refund sooner and with fewer complications.
Remember that April 15th, 2025 is the final day of Tax Season in the United States, so try to send all documentation before that date to avoid any IRS-related penalties.
