LIST OF SERVICES OFFERED
TAX Preparation: Federal, State, Local
You can have Fast Tax prepare your federal, state, and/or local return and mail the return(s) yourself. Fast Tax takes care to provide the most accurate and professional service possible, using the most up-to-date technology, in order to ensure that you get the maximum allowable refund.
You must pay for the preparation fees up front, and you will be issued a cash receipt.
Electronic Filing
Fast Tax can complete your return and transmit it directly to the IRS and/or to the applicable state agency, allowing you to get your money faster.
Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL)
A Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL) is a loan against your anticipated refund. Fast Tax electronically files your return to the IRS. Once approved by the IRS, the loan is submitted to the bank. We will usually know within 6–24 hours if the loan was approved.
Your actual refund is sent by the IRS to the bank to repay the bank loan. If there is a remaining balance, it is sent to you through a second check, which will be picked up at Fast Tax. It can take up to 21 days for the IRS to deposit your refund to the bank. In the unlikely event that the IRS does not deposit your refund to the bank, you will still be responsible for the balance of any unfunded loan from the bank.
The bank makes all loan decisions. If you are denied a loan, it is automatically flipped to a Refund Anticipation Check (RAC). You do not have to pay any fees up front. The fees will be withheld from the first RAL check only.
Instant Refund Anticipation Loan (IRAL)
If you qualify for a Refund Anticipation Loan, you may be able to receive an Instant Refund Anticipation Loan (IRAL). If you are approved for an IRAL, you can receive a loan based on your refund, subject to certain limitations, in just minutes. See location for details. All loans are subject to bank approval.
Refund Anticipation Check (RAC)
Fast Tax electronically files your return to the IRS. The bank issues you your refund check in 2 to 3 weeks, provided that your refund, either full or partial, is deposited into the bank by the IRS. A partial deposit depends on whether or not the client owes the IRS or government any money.
The client does not have to pay for any fees up front. The fees will be withheld from the Refund Anticipation Check.
