How can I direct deposit my tax refund to my Walmart MoneyCard account?

1. Get your Walmart MoneyCard routing & account numbers

Log in to your account or log in to the Walmart MoneyCard app to get your direct deposit info

2. Enter your routing & account numbers on your tax forms

Mark “Checking” on your tax form. Be sure the name on your tax forms matches the name on your Walmart MoneyCard account

3. File your return

We’ll post your refund to your account as soon as we receive the instructions from the IRS, which can be up to 5 days early for your federal tax refund.*

*Early tax refund deposit applies to federal tax returns filed directly with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) & depends on IRS timing, payment instructions & bank fraud prevention measures. Early deposit does not apply to Walmart MoneyCard accounts opened at a tax professional’s office. The name & Social Security number on file with the IRS must match your Walmart MoneyCard account to prevent fraud restrictions on the account.
