What options do I have to receive my refund through Ohio I-File?

You may deposit your refund into three different accounts using any combination of the following four account types:

  1. Direct deposit to checking account.
  2. Direct deposit to savings account.

  3. Direct deposit to an IRA account.

  4. Direct deposit to 529CollegeAdvantage account administered by the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority, or

  5. Have a paper check mailed to you.

Note: If you select one of the direct deposit options, in most cases you should receive your refund in 7 to 10 business days from the date filed. If you filed your federal return through a paid preparer and received your refund through a refund anticipation loan, do not use the routing and account number provided to you by your paid preparer. If you select the paper check option, you should expect your check to be mailed to you within 30 days.
