Need your refund money sooner?
How it works
- File your return through Zero Fuss Taxes (human-prepared).
- If you’re interested, we route your advance request to the lender.
- The lender reviews eligibility and decides — approval, amount, and terms are theirs to set.
- If approved, funds are issued per the lender’s terms; the loan is repaid from your refund.
Who it’s for
Filers who expect a sufficient refund and want access to some funds sooner — and who understand it is a loan with terms set by the lender.
Required disclosure: 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. [Owner: confirm current lender, maximum amount, APR, fee, and program dates before publishing. 2026 market reference: many programs cap 0% APR advances around $4,000; larger advances may carry ~36% APR plus a fee.]

Does it cost extra?
