Step 1
Get your routing and account number. There are a few ways:
- Log in to your account
- Download and log in to the app
- Text GetDD to 24692 to have it texted to you. Carrier message and data rates apply.
Step 2
Use your routing and account number to fill out your tax form.
- Mark “Checking” on your tax form.
- Make sure the name on your tax form matches the name on your GoBank card.
Heads up, for added protection against identity theft, the IRS now offers an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN). Learn more about the IRS Get IP PIN program here.¹
Step 3
File your return.
- To find out the status of your refund, call the IRS Refund Hotline at (800) 829-1954 or visit www.irs.gov. GoBank does not get information on the status of your refund.
- Log in to set up Account Alerts. We’ll send you a text or email when your refund is deposited to your account.
GoBank is neither a paid return preparer nor a tax advisor. All GoBank cardholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors and/or return preparers. In accordance with IRS guidelines, you can direct your refund to your card; you cannot direct your refund to someone else's card ()except for your spouse if it is a joint refund). If we receive a tax refund intended for an individual other than the cardholder, the refund may be rejected and/or your card may be suspended or closed. Limits apply.
