Before Marcus can officially finish his federal return, two important things he will need to do are:

  1. File his state taxes - If applicable, he should complete and submit his state tax return, as this is often a necessary step after filing the federal return.

  2. Select how he wants to receive his refund - He should choose his preferred method for receiving his refund, whether it's via direct deposit, a check mailed to his address, or a prepaid debit card.

Sending a copy to his bank, getting someone to sign off, or seeking professional help to redo his taxes are not standard requirements to finalize a tax return.
