Purpose of Form
File Form 8050 to request that the IRS deposit
a tax refund (including a refund of $1 million
or more) directly into an account at any U.S.
bank or other financial institution (such as a
mutual fund or brokerage firm) that accepts
direct deposits.
The benefits of a direct deposit include a
faster refund, the added security of a
paperless payment, and the savings of tax
dollars associated with the reduced
processing costs.

Who May File
Only a filer requesting a direct deposit refund
with its original Form 990-PF, 990-T,
1120-POL, or 4720 may file Form 8050.
The filer is not eligible to request a direct
deposit if:
• The receiving financial institution is a foreign
bank or a foreign branch of a U.S. bank, or
• The filer has applied for an employer
identification number but is filing its tax return
before receiving one.

Line 1. Enter the financial institution’s routing
number and verify that the institution will
accept a direct deposit. See the sample
check below for an example of where the
routing number may be shown.
For accounts payable through a financial
institution other than the one at which the
account is located, check with your financial
institution for the correct routing number. Do
not use a deposit slip to verify the routing
number.
Line 2. Enter the filer’s account number. Enter
the number from left to right and leave any
unused boxes blank. See the sample check
below for an example of where the account
number may be shown.
