This represents a 15 percent of all taxpayers thus far using this payment method and more than doubling last year's direct deposit usage. This option has contributed to shorter processing time for income tax returns, much greater security for the taxpayer, and the convenience of not having to make a separate trip to the bank to deposit a check.
Direct deposit benefits everyone.
Murray also noted the continued success of Treasury's on-line error correction system. I commend Treasury employees for their continued efforts and dedication toward improving the tax processing system, saving Michigan taxpayers both time and money. Direct deposit is available to both electronic and non-electronic filers.
