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.

Can you get a ral when you owe the IRS?

Of course not...an RAL is a loan taken secured by your refund (refund anticipation loan = RAL). No refund, no loan. The places that do RALs are such rip offs, they'll find some other way to rip you off though. If you read the terms and conditions of a RAL, you have to certify that you do not owe money to the IRS. If the IRS keeps your refund, you will end up having to pay back the RAL at an incredibly high interest rate...probably higher than the IRS charges!

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.
