  1. Click the File tab.
  2. On the screen, How do you want your $XX federal refund, mark the circle for Direct Deposit to a bank account.
  3. Go to the bottom of the screen and mark the box I would like to split my refund into more than one account.
  4. On the screen, Tell Us What You Would Like to Do, mark the appropriate radio button,  to split your refund into more than one account, purchase savings bonds, or both.
  5. Depending on your selection, you will see screens to Purchase Savings Bond, and/or Split your Refund into Multiple Accounts.
