What is a Tax Advance Loan?

A Tax Advance Loan lets you access the approximate value of your estimated tax refund without waiting for the IRS to process your returns. With our same day filing and funding, you'll receive your funds as soon as your return is accepted by the IRS (typically within 10 minutes). Repayment of your loan happens automatically once your refund is dispersed.

This was the best experience I had filing taxes. I didn't have any questions after the estimate because Felicia was so thorough. I waited less than a minute to be seen. Also, most of my documents were sent via link by text message. The customerservice is AMAZING. I will definitely file here every year.‍
