Use TPG to collect your fees from unfunded Refund Transfer clients
When taxpayers pay-by-refund it's an easy way to get paid. Auto Collect is available for the handful of clients that choose to pay-by-refund but don't receive their tax refund. Save time by having TPG automatically collect your tax preparation fees from these clients.
How it works
Let us do the work for you

TPG contacts your unfunded clients*
Once a taxpayer that selected a Refund Transfer with direct deposit is at least 1 month past their expected IRS funding date TPG will contact your client

Convenient payment options offered
Clients are given the option to conveniently pay your fees with a credit card or bank account

Fees are direct debited
If your client does not respond, TPG will debit your fees from your client's bank account

Payment issued to you
TPG collects our processing fee of 25% of the amount debited and the remainder is deposited into your bank account upon completion of the Auto Collect program in mid-October2
* Participating EROs have the option to not collect on certain taxpayers and will have the option to make this determination on a case-by-case basis.
