Bank Products

Streamline Your Refund Management

What Are Bank Products?

Bank products allow tax professionals to simplify payments by deducting preparation fees directly from taxpayers’ refunds. This eliminates the need for upfront payment, making tax preparation more accessible and hassle-free for clients.

Do You Need to Use Bank Products?

While not mandatory, bank products can add significant value to your business. These services streamline payment processing, enhance client satisfaction, and help your business stand out with added flexibility and benefits.

How Do Bank Products Work?

When a client’s IRS refund is processed, the funds are routed through the selected tax bank. Preparation fees are automatically deducted and deposited into your account. The remaining refund is issued to the taxpayer via direct deposit, check, or debit card—providing a smooth and efficient payment solution.

How Bank Products Enhance Your Business
