Frequently Asked Questions
Refund Advance & Tax Filing Options
How does approval work?
Approval is based mainly on your expected tax refund, along with identity verification and fraud-prevention checks required by the bank that provides the loan (Pathward®, N.A., Member FDIC). Approval and loan amounts are not guaranteed and depend on eligibility.
Do you check my credit?
Approval is not based on a traditional credit check like a credit card or auto loan. The bank focuses primarily on your expected tax refund, identity verification, and risk-screening requirements. This is a refund-based decision, not a credit-score-based decision.
Is approval guaranteed?
No. Approval is not guaranteed. Even if you are expecting a refund, the bank must complete its review before any loan can be approved. We will explain all available options once your tax return is prepared.
What are common reasons someone may not be approved?
Some common reasons include:
Identity verification issues
IRS rejection of the tax return
Refund amount not large enough to support a loan
Bank risk or fraud-prevention rules
We won’t know eligibility until your return is prepared and reviewed.
Do I need a refund to qualify?
Yes. A Refund Advance Loan is only available to taxpayers who are expecting a tax refund. If you do not have a refund, you would not be eligible for an advance loan.
When can I apply?
The IRS begins accepting tax returns on January 26. We can prepare your return ahead of time so it’s ready to file once IRS filing opens. Loan eligibility is determined after the return is prepared and accepted.
