What is a Refund Transfer?


Refund Transfer is a bank product used to pay for your tax preparation fees without needing to use a credit card. Your refund will be issued to you by a bank in the amount of your tax refund less your tax return preparation and the Refund Transfer processing fee.


Refund Transfer is a deposit product offered by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, that enables authorized amounts to be deducted from taxpayer’s refund, with the remaining balance then paid to the taxpayer. Fees apply. Refund Transfers are not loans. Tax refund and e-filing are required to receive Refund Transfer. Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. Visit other IRS e-file options, some of which are provided at no additional cost.
