Early Refund Advance Loans are offered prior to your filing your tax return and you are not required to provide all information necessary to file your tax return to apply, but you must provide a most recent pay stub or equivalent form of evidence of income upon which Jackson Hewitt can make a preliminary estimate of your tax refund. Early Refund Advance Loans are available to qualified borrowers starting on December 17, 2018 until January 20, 2019.

When the Early Refund Advance Loan is available, you may choose to apply for an Early Refund Advance Loan and a No Fee Refund Advance Loan only, or you may apply for all 3 loans. If you apply for and are approved for all 3 loans, you can choose to receive an Early Refund Advance Loan, and you may choose whether to accept the No Fee Refund Advance Loan or the Go Big Refund Advance Loan, but you cannot take both. At all other times, you may choose to apply for a No Fee Refund Advance Loan only or you may apply for both a No Fee Refund Advance Loan and a Go Big Refund Advance Loan. We cannot make a final decision on your loan application until you provide your tax preparer with the tax forms necessary to prepare your tax return. For No Fee Refund Advance Loans and Go Big Refund Advance Loans, we cannot make a final decision on your loan application until your tax return is filed with the IRS. To be approved for any loan, you must meet the underwriting criteria established by MetaBank®.
The amount of the loan and any applicable interest will be deducted from tax refund and reduce the amount paid directly to the taxpayer. Fees for other optional products or product features may apply. Tax returns may be filed electronically without applying for these loans. Availability subject to identity verification, eligibility criteria, and underwriting standards. Disbursement rules apply. Funds loaded onto card within an hour and direct deposit next business day, unless impacted by IRS delays.
