that results from error, negligence or
malfeasance on the part of the taxpayer, the Provider, financial institution
or any of their agents.
Taxpayers often elect the Direct Deposit option
because it is the fastest way of receiving refunds. Providers
must accept any Direct Deposit election to qualified accounts in
the taxpayer’s name at any eligible financial institution
designated by the taxpayer. Additionally, providers should
caution taxpayers that some financial institutions do not permit the deposit
of joint individual income tax refunds into individual accounts or into
check or share draft accounts that are "payable through" another
institution. Providers are also obligated to advise taxpayers that they
cannot rescind a Direct Deposit election and they cannot make changes to
routing transit numbers of financial institutions or to their account
numbers after the IRS has accepted the return. Providers can never alter the
Direct Deposit information in the electronic record after taxpayers have
signed the tax return only if they find a mistake.
