More than likely not. Red flags will be raised. A RAL is a loan from a bank, not the government but unfortunately for you and anyone else who owes the government indicators will mark you. Banks who provide these loans are linked with the IRS database on who owes taxes. Banks will also refuse RAL for first time filers also. Your best bet is to wait out the required time. This may take 6-8 weeks or longer. The IRS wants it's money so pay it with that refund. It's better than having your wages garnished.

Who can keep your tax refund?

If you owe back taxes, the IRS can apply the refund to prior year's taxes owed. I think if someone is in default on a student loan, then tax refund may be withheld to pay that (not positive though). The IRS dot GOV website may have more information.

What is a typical interest rate for a refund anticipation loan?

The typical interest rate for a refund anticipation loan, RAL can vary widely and consumers should understand all the cost with this type of loan. RALs often carry extremely high interest rates, which do not include other fees such as electronic filling, application, and check cashing fees. With all that, taxpayers can end up spending more than 10% of their refund, just to receive their income tax refund sooner.


How do I find out if you owe the bank for the Refund Anticipation Loan?

If it isn't your refund anticipation loan, then you can't find out that information. A RAL is money borrowed from a lender according to the refund you're expecting to receive. This is a loan between you and the lender, and it's considered a contract. Therefore, you can only find out about your RAL, not someone else's. If your tax return has incomplete or inaccurate information that results in a smaller refund than the amount advanced to you through the RAL, then the tax preparation business that filed your RAL for you usually has that information.
