*Required disclosure: Up to $7,500 is the maximum loan amount. Your amount, if approved, may be lower and depends on your expected refund and lender review. Requests are accepted only from January 2 to mid-March each year. Refund advance products are loans offered by a third-party lender and are subject to approval, eligibility, lender terms, timing, refund amount, filing status, documentation, APR, and fees. Not all clients qualify. A refund advance is not the tax refund itself. Final loan terms, including any APR and fees, are disclosed before application.

Is approval guaranteed?
No. Approval, loan amount, APR, fees, and timing are determined by the lender based on eligibility, your expected refund, documentation, and filing status. Not all clients qualify.

Up to $7,500 if approved. Your amount may be lower and is set by the lender based on your expected refund. Requests are accepted January 2 to mid-March only.
Does it cost extra?
