Refund and Payment Options

Direct Deposit – Refund’s in 10-16 days with no additional fees. You are allowed to have your refund direct deposited in up to three separate bank accounts. We do not charge additional fees for this option so long as you are paying your tax preparation fees by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.

Refund Anticipation Loans (RAL) – You will find our rates to be lower than those of H.R. Block, Jackson Hewitt, and other larger companies. Refunds are issued in as little as 12 to 48 hours. The new reduced pricing will be a $37.90 Refund Administration Fee plus a 0.78% finance charge**. Loans of up to $7,500 are available in 2010. Certified Bank Checks are printed in our office. [Note: Loans are not available on State refunds nor are they available after April 15th.]

[Note: Our Certified Bank Checks will be issued by Bank of America, which should make them easier to cash. Bank of America will charge a $6.00 fee for those without a Bank of America account, and there is no fee if you have an account. Wal-Mart will also cash checks up to $5,000 for a flat fee of $6 for checks between $1,000 and $5,000 and only $3 or 1% for checks less than $1,000. (Not valid in NJ, NY, RI and FL.)]

Electronic Refund Deposit (ERD) – Have your tax preparation fees deducted from your refund (up to $1,200) and the balance direct deposited to your bank account. Bank processing fees are $37.90 for Federal refunds, and $10 for State refunds. Refunds are issued in 8-15 days.

Electronic Refund Check (ERC) – Have your tax preparation fees deducted from your refund (up to $1,200) and a check for the balance printed in our office. Bank processing fees are $37.90 for Federal refunds, and $10 for State refunds. Refunds are issued in 7-14 days. This option is only ideal for those who wish to pay for tax preparation services out of their tax refund, and either do not have a bank account, or simply prefer to receive a physical check.

Do you owe taxes? – If you owe Federal or State Taxes you may choose to have your payment debited from your checking account, or you may make payments by credit card. The companies that handle credit card processing for the government do charge fees of up to 2.49% for this service. Scheduling a direct debit from your checking account at the time the return is filed is the fasted, easiest, and cheapest way (and it’s free). You also have the option of mailing a check or money order along with the 1040-V Payment Voucher which is printed with your tax return.
