Common confusion points

Tax type selection

Forms for different taxes look similar

→ Verify the tax code in the instructions

Direct deposit vs. check

Some tax types only allow check

→ Check the specific tax’s refund method

Three‑year deadline

Many taxpayers assume a 2‑year rule

→ Remember the longer of 3 years after payment or 2 years after assessment

Signature authority

Business vs. individual signature rules

→ Ensure the signer is authorized on the tax account

Address for refund

Mailing address differs from filing address

→ Use the address listed for refunds in the instructions
