FAQs about Refund Advance

The Early Refund Advance is a convenient way to access money to use for the holiday season. An Early Refund Advance is a loan with a 35.53% Estimated Annual Percentage Rate based on a loan duration of 75 days. This equates to a 7.3% finance charge from Republic Bank & Trust Company that you could get with just a pay stub(s) at participating Jackson Hewitt locations. So, unlike other Refund Advance loans, this is a way to access money before your W-2 is available in January (or later).

If you applied for and received an Early Refund Advance loan, you are also required to apply for No Fee Refund Advance loan. To complete your No Fee Refund Advance application, you must file your taxes with your W2(s) and other tax documents by Feb 11, 2024. Your No Fee Refund Advance funds will be disbursed by the same method selected for Early Refund Advance.

It depends on which Refund Advance loan you choose.

The Early Refund Advance Loan had a 35.53% Estimated Annual Percentage Rate based on a loan duration of 75 days. This equated to a 7.3 % finance charge of the loan amount. It was available December 11, 2023 until January 14, 2024. Outlined below are examples of credit terms for the Early Refund Advance Loan.

The amount of the loan and any interest is deducted from a tax refund reducing the amount paid to a client.

No Fee Refund Advance Loans are offered at no cost to you. Loan amounts are between $250 – $6,500. The loan amount is deducted from your tax refund reducing the amount paid to you. No Fee Refund Advance Loans are available after you have filed your tax return starting on January 2, 2024 through February 11, 2024.

The amount you owe is deducted directly from your tax refund, if sufficient, to the extent allowed by applicable state law. If your tax refunds are insufficient to pay your loan in full, tax refunds from returns filed in the following tax year with Jackson Hewitt may be applied to repay the outstanding loan balance, if applicable.

Early Refund Advance Loans are offered December 11, 2023 through January 14, 2024, prior to filing your tax return. You would not be required to provide all documents necessary to file your tax return to apply. Clients should provide their most recent pay stub(s), proof of other income, license of government issued ID, and Social Security card(s) of all individuals on the return, so Jackson Hewitt could most accurately estimate the clients tax refund.

For tax year 2023, all you need is your pay stub(s) to start preparing your taxes at Jackson Hewitt. As early as December, you could bring your latest pay stub to your appointment and see if you qualify to apply for an Early Refund Advance of up to $1,000. In January, you can provide your W-2 and other tax documents to complete filing your taxes and apply for a Refund Advance loan until February 11, 2024.
