What's the fastest way to get my federal tax refund?
by TurboTax• Updated 4 weeks ago
The fastest way to get your refund is to:
- E-file your return instead of paper-filing it.
- Have your refund directly deposited into your account instead of receiving a mailed check.
Whichever filing method or refund method you choose, you can track your 2023 federal refund at the IRS's Where's My Refund? site.
What if I need my refund even faster?
Customers can apply for TurboTax’s Refund Advance program. With a Refund Advance loan, you could get up to $4,000 in as little as 30 seconds after IRS acceptance* with absolutely $0 loan fees and 0% APR.
The Refund Advance offer ends on February 15, 2024, or until available funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. Offer, eligibility, and availability subject to change without further notice.
* The IRS accepts returns starting in late January. Acceptance times vary. While you could get your refund in seconds, most customers receive their refund within 4 minutes of acceptance.
