When will I get my refund if I have dependents?

If you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit, your refund is delayed due to the PATH Act. Most refunds for filers with dependents are released after February 15, once the IRS completes required verification.

What is the PATH Act and why is my refund delayed?

The PATH Act is a federal law that requires the IRS to hold refunds that include certain credits to prevent fraud. This delay applies to everyone nationwide and is not controlled by your tax preparer.

When does the IRS start accepting tax returns in 2026?

The IRS officially begins accepting electronically filed returns on January 27, 2026, also known as National E-File Day. Returns filed earlier are held and processed once e-filing opens.

Do you offer cash advances and how do they work?

Yes. Qualifying clients may be eligible for a cash advance . Approval rate is 92% and amounts depend on bank criteria, refund amount and your tax situations.

Who is your bank partner?

Our bank partner is Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (SBTPG). They process refunds, tax preparation fees, and any approved cash advance products.

How fast will I receive my refund after filing?

Most refunds are issued within 21 days of IRS acceptance. Returns with dependents or additional review requirements may take longer.

What documents do I need to file my taxes?

You will need a valid photo ID, Social Security cards for you and your dependents, income documents such as W-2s or 1099s, and proof of dependents when applicable.
