IRS Form 8888 Allocation of Refund (including Savings Bond Purchases) is used by taxpayers who want their refunds to be deposited into more than one account or used to purchase U.S. Series I Savings Bonds.
In TaxACT, the information for completing Form 8888 is entered during the filing process and the form will automatically be generated by the program if it is applicable to the return.
Please note: In an effort to combat fraud and identity theft, new IRS procedures effective January 2015 will limit the number of refunds electronically deposited into a single financial account or pre-paid debit card to three. The fourth and subsequent refunds automatically will convert to a paper refund check and be mailed to the taxpayer.
