What's the fastest way to get my federal tax refund?

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 2024 federal refund at the IRS 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 60 seconds after IRS acceptance* with absolutely $0 loan fees and 0% APR.

The Refund Advance offer ends on February 28, 2025, 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 15 minutes of acceptance.

Terms apply. Refund Advance loans may be issued by First Century Bank, N.A. or WebBank.
