How It Works

A split refund allows you to decide how much goes into each account. Here's how:

• Splitting your refund among multiple accounts? Complete IRS Form 8888 and attach it to your federal income tax return. This form tells the IRS where you want your refund deposited and the amount that should go into each account. If you want a portion of your refund deposited into your Citibank IRA, check Savings on Form 8888.
• If depositing your entire refund into one account, instead of using Form 8888, go to the Refund area on Form 1040 and enter the ABA and account numbers where you want your refund deposited.
• Whether you split your refund among multiple accounts or put it all into one, you'll need the Citibank ABA number(s)
