If
you want to get your 2017 tax refund as quickly as possible, don't use snail
mail. The IRS asks taxpayers to
electronically file 2017 tax returns, and to sign up for direct deposit. Doing
this greatly reduces the possibility of lost, stolen, or undeliverable refund
checks.
Direct
deposit also saves money. The IRS reports that U.S. taxpayers pay more than $1 for
every paper refund check issued, but only a dime for each direct deposit.
