What is an Assisted Refund?
An Assisted Refund (AR) allows clients to have tax preparation and other fees and amounts paid upon completion of services from either the federal or state refund. With an Assisted Refund your refund will be deposited into a temporary bank account from Republic Bank & Trust Company.
How disbursement works
Choose an AR for $54.95. An AR fee and all other authorized fees including your tax preparation fees will be deducted, and the remainder disbursed to you by the method you select. Disbursement options are:
- Direct Deposit onto prepaid cards
- Direct Deposit into personal bank account
