The Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs)
RAL s, as the name implies, are loans made to taxpayers on the basis of the refund that is anticipated to arrive from the Government. In this case, the taxpayer assigns the total amount of the anticipated refund to the BANK and the Government eventually delivers the refund to the BANK . However, if the BANK agrees to do so, will deliver the loan proceeds to the taxpayer prior to collecting the actual refund amount from the Government. The amount delivered will be the refund amount reduced by our service/user and application fees plus the BANK 's RAL fees. The BANK may further limit the amount of the loan to lesser values in the certain cases such as those in which the anticipated refund contains Earned Income Credit in excess of certain limits. In such cases, the BANK may deliver certain portion of the funds at a later time, normally corresponding to the time when the BANK receives the refund from the Government. The advantage of this product may be that, the taxpayer would receive the loan funding earlier than the Government's time of delivery of the refund and also may have our service/user and application fees plus the BANK 's RAL fees out of the refund.

All of the products require that the taxpayer, in general be of at least 18 years of age in order to enter into an agreement. Due to the fact that this is a loan, in the event that your claimed refund is not funded by the Government, you are liable to the BANK for the repayment of the loan. Other requirements and limitations may apply.

FileYourTaxes.com makes no warranties in relation to the amount or delivery times of such loans that may or may not be available to you from the BANK . The RALs may not be available to residents of all states.

Refund Transfers (RTs)
The second product offered is the Refund Transfer Direct Deposit (RTDD). This product provides the delivery of the taxpayer's refund after the BANK receives refund amount from the Government. The advantage of this product may be that the taxpayer would have our service/user and application fees plus the BANK 's RTDD fees paid out of the refund.

Both of the above products are offered within the assistance of the Debt Indicator program (DI). Both, FileYourTaxes.com and the BANK were industry partners to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the Debt Indicator Pilot Program

The DI allows the Government to provide a debt indicator in the acknowledgment (ACK) File which may indicate to the BANK or other recipients of the ACK Files as to whether the taxpayer has certain outstanding monetary public obligations. If any such amounts are owed by the taxpayer, the refund may be applied to satisfy these amounts and not issued to the taxpayer. For this reason, an indicator showing the existence of such public obligations may result in the denial of the RAL product. Denied RAL products will revert to an RT product.

In cases where the refund is not delivered to you by the Government, you are still responsible for the payment of fees to FileYourTaxes.com.

Timing Involved
The following information is provided by the BANK in regards to the funding times:

It takes 2-3 business days from the time the IRS acknowledges your tax return for RAL proceeds to be deposited to your bank account. Allow 24-48 hours for IRS acknowledgement.

Delays in the transfer of money can occur within the Federal Reserve ACH deposit system due to the location of the sending and receiving banks and because the system does not operate on weekends or holidays. For that reason, it may take from 2-3 business days from the time the IRS acknowledges your tax return and BANK approves your loan for your RAL proceeds (total RAL amount minus all fees and charges) to be available in your bank account. Allow 24-48 hours for IRS acknowledgment.

Exclusion
The BANK will not offer RALs in either of the following cases:

• 1 If you are a regular or reserve member of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps., Air Force, or Coast Guard serving on active duty under a call or order that does not specify a period of 30 days or fewer.

• 2 If you are a dependent of a member of the Armed Forces on active duty as described above because you are a member's spouse, the member's child under the age of 18 years old, or you are an individual for whom the member provided more than one-half of your financial support for 180 days immediately preceding today's date.

Costs
The fees for the RALs are based on the amount of the borrowed sums. Please contact the BANK for additional detail and information applicable to your case and your state.
