Taxpayers can get their tax return a couple days earlier if they opt to receive their refund via a cash transfer app.

The Internal Revenue Service recommends that taxpayers request their refund be given to them through direct deposit. However, for any taxpayers who need their refund sooner, a quicker method is available thanks to cash payment apps like Venmo, CashApp, and PayPal, according to CNET.

Venmo

Venmo is one of the most popular cash transfer apps used by the public, and it can be used to receive tax refunds. Taxpayers who use the app simply have to go to the "direct deposit" section and select "show account number" to find their account details.

After setting up a Venmo account and finding the account number, the taxpayer can enter their Venmo routing and account number when filing their taxes to have their return sent to them via Venmo.

PayPal

Like Venmo, PayPal users who want to receive their refund as soon as possible will need to have their account set up to receive direct deposit payments. This can be done by selecting "set up direct deposit" and then searching for whoever you will receive this payment from, which for tax refunds is the IRS. Then, the PayPal user will confirm their identity and enter their direct deposit information, according to PayPal.

In addition, a PayPal user will have to enter their PayPal Direct Deposit routing and account numbers on their tax form and select “Checking” as the account type. Once their tax refund is processed, it will automatically be added to the user's balance.

CashApp

To receive a refund via CashApp, a taxpayer will need to download the app onto their phone, create an account, and select the "banking" tab on the bottom left side of the phone's screen. Once in the tab, the user can select "direct deposit" and create a free "cash card." Then, they can return to the direct deposit tab to enter the same routing and account numbers the user will provide when filing taxes.
