IRS TREAS 310: What It Means in Your Bank Account

---

ANSWER SECTION

IRS TREAS 310 is the standard ACH (Automated Clearing House) deposit code the IRS uses for direct deposit payments. When you see this on your bank statement, it means you've received an electronic payment from the U.S. Department of the Treasury through the IRS. The "310" identifies the IRS as the specific government agency sending the payment. Additional codes after TREAS 310 (such as TAX REF, XXTAXEIP, or MISC PAY) tell you exactly what type of payment you received.
