RAL (Refund Anticipation Loan)
Taxpayer can receive a portion or their total refund depending upon the amount of their refund within 1-2 days. The remaining taxpayer refund can be funded within 7-14 days, based on the refund cycle chart Publication 2043. The taxpayer will get paid, when the bank gets paid. What will not allow the RAL to fund is back taxes (state or federal), child support student loans and credit agencies. If the taxpayer does not qualify for the RAL the bank will automatically “flip” it to an ERC (7-14 days) which means the bank will not pay the taxpayer until the IRS pays the bank. If the debt takes the whole refund amount you will need to collect the necessary fees, tax preparation, Service Bureau. Tax preparation and bank fees are taken from the refund.
