How do I receive my IRS tax refund in Común?

You can use your Común account to receive your IRS tax refund through direct deposit 💸

When filing your taxes, simply use your Común routing number and account number as your refund destination.

👉 This works for both:

  • SSN holders

  • ITIN holders


📄 What information do I need?

When filing your taxes, you’ll need:

  • Your Común routing number

  • Your Común account number

You can find both directly in the Común app.


📱 How do I find my account information?

  1. Open the Común app

  2. Go to your account details

  3. Copy your:

    • Routing number

    • Account number

Use this information when completing your tax return.


⏳ How long does it take to receive a tax refund?

Tax season in the United States usually runs from January through April 15.

If you:

  • File electronically (e-file)

  • Choose direct deposit

Your refund is usually processed in approximately 21 days, according to the IRS.

👉 Paper returns or mailed checks may take significantly longer.


💡 Tips for receiving your refund faster

  • File electronically whenever possible

  • Double check your routing and account numbers before submitting

  • Make sure your name matches your tax documents

  • Direct deposit is usually the fastest and safest option


🧾 Filing taxes as an immigrant

If this is your first time filing taxes in the U.S., you may need documents such as:

  • W-2 or 1099 forms

  • ITIN or SSN

  • Proof of income

  • Identification documents

Many immigrants file taxes successfully using an ITIN instead of an SSN.


⚠️ Important

Común can explain how to use your account to receive your refund, but we cannot provide tax, legal, or immigration advice.

If you have questions about:

  • Tax filing requirements

  • Deductions

  • Refund eligibility

  • ITIN applications

Please contact a certified tax professional or visit the IRS website.
