What should you encourage taxpayers to do when opting for prepaid card disbursement?

Encouraging taxpayers to provide a valid email address when opting for prepaid card disbursement is important for several reasons. An accurate email address allows for better communication between the taxpayer and the bank, enabling them to receive important updates regarding their disbursement, including confirmation of the card's activation, transaction notifications, and any potential issues that may arise. It also helps in maintaining a secure channel for sharing sensitive information related to their funds.

Other options, while they may seem relevant, do not facilitate the same level of communication and security. Requesting a physical card could limit the convenience of digital transactions, keeping disbursement private may hinder necessary communications, and confirming the total refund amount, while important, does not contribute to the effectiveness of the prepaid card system. A valid email address serves as a foundational element for ongoing communication, ensuring that taxpayers are fully informed about their prepaid card status and transactions.
