Fast Forward

Fast Forward by sbtpg is provided by Green Dot Bank. Fast Forward enables you to receive your federal tax refund up to five (5) days early for an additional fee of $25.00. Terms apply. To be eligible, you must have a Refund Transfer for a federal tax refund that is no more than $10,000. Availability of Fast Forward is subject to the taxpayer's bank participating in Real-Time Payments, IRS pre-notification of pending refund deposit, and availability of funds. $25.00 fee is not charged if you are ineligible. If a new Green Dot card is selected in the tax office, you will receive the federal refund up to five days early without being charged the $25.00 fee. If you have selected a cashier’s check as your disbursement method, the exact timing you will receive your federal refund is dependent upon when your tax preparer prints the check. Please check with your tax professional for availability.

 

According to the IRS website, most refunds are disbursed in less than 21 days, when filed electronically. If a paper tax return is filed, the refund should be issued in about six to eight weeks from the date the IRS receives the return. If a customer chooses direct deposit; it may take additional time after the disbursement of the return for their financial institution to post the funds to their account. Refunds may be delayed longer for other reasons. If this happens, you should contact the IRS directly by calling the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Line (800-829-1040).

 

Refund Transfers are deposit products using Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, that enable certain deductions from the account to be processed. Refund Transfers are not loans. Tax refund and e-filing are required in order to receive Refund Transfer. Fees apply. Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. Ask your tax preparer about other IRS e-file options, some of which are provided at no additional cost.
