What is a Refund Transfer?

A Refund Transfer is a convenient way for clients to cover their tax preparation fees without paying upfront.

The fees are deducted directly from their tax refund, and the remaining balance is sent to them through their preferred method: check, direct deposit, or prepaid card. Simple, secure, and hassle-free.

How long do refunds typically take to fund?

Refunds typically fund within 21 days after the IRS accepts the return.

However, timing may vary based on IRS processing and the chosen disbursement method.

What is an Refund Advance?

A Refund Advance is a game-changer for your clients! It gives them early access to a portion of their expected refund, making it easier to cover immediate expenses.

The best part? Repayment happens automatically when the IRS processes their refund—no extra hassle for you or your client.
