Speed Up Your Tax Refund with Direct Deposit
Get your money faster and help protect against fraud when you direct deposit your tax refund to your Tower account. It's easy, safe, and free. Plus, you don't have to worry about your refund check getting lost or stolen in the mail, or even worse, ending up in the hands of scammers.
Setting up your direct deposit is easy.
Fill in Tower's routing number—255077370—in the appropriate section on your state and federal tax returns.
Check the box designating the account to receive your tax refund direct deposit (checking or savings.)
List your Tower account number. Your account number can be found on your monthly member statement and also in Digital Banking.
Our address is: Tower Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box 123, Annapolis Junction, MD 20701.
Split your refund and save
You can split your federal tax refund between your Tower Prime Share savings account and your Tower checking account. Spend some now and save the rest. Simply fill out IRS Form 8888, Allocation of Refund (available at irs.gov), and include with your federal tax return. This option is not available for most state tax refunds.
