It’s Tax Refund Season!
The 2025 tax season is underway. As always, the IRS (Opens in a new Window) urges taxpayers to have all the information they need before filing a tax return. By planning ahead, you can take time to file a complete and accurate return. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to avoid delays that may affect your overall tax refund.
If you expect to receive a refund, please be mindful of the following items concerning your SLCCU account:
-
- SLCCU’s routing number is 281082423. When filing your taxes, use your member number when setting up direct deposit. Do NOT use the checking account number on your checks. This long-form number will not match, and unfortunately, the deposit will be returned.
- Tax refunds cannot be redirected. They must be posted to the account number provided with the deposit. If the account number is incorrect in any way, the deposit must be returned.
- If your account was previously closed, and a tax refund is sent to St. Louis Community Credit Union, we are not able to reopen the account and accept the deposit. The IRS requires that the deposit be returned if the account is closed.
- You may check the status of your refund in the following ways:
- Visit the IRS website at irs.gov (Opens in a new Window) 24 hours after e-filing, and select Where’s My Refund?
- Using a mobile device, you can download the IRS2Go app to check the status of your refund; or
- Call 800-829-1040 (for individuals) or 800-829-4933 (for businesses) to check on the status, but only if:
- It has been 21 days or more since you filed electronically;
- More than six weeks since you mailed your paper return; or
- The Where’s My Refund? tool on the website directs you to contact the IRS.
