JERSEY CITY, NJ--(Marketwired - Nov 28, 2016) - Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® announced they are starting the tax season early. Beginning today taxpayers can prequalify for an Express Refund Advance by answering a few questions on www.ExpressRefundAdvance.com. Within minutes, a visitor will know if they are prequalified for an Express Refund Advance between $200 and $1300.
Express Refund Advance is a no fee, 0% APR loan offered by Metabank®. Money is available when clients prepare their tax return with Jackson Hewitt beginning December 15th. The loan is repaid when clients receive their refund.
This advance is important to millions of taxpayers who may experience delays in receiving their refund due to the new PATH Act. Specifically, all refunds from tax returns that contain Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and/or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) will be funded no earlier than February 15, 2017.
"By prequalifying for Express Refund Advance, our clients can have an estimate as they begin holiday shopping," said Jackson Hewitt CEO David Prokupek.

About Express Refund Advance
The Express Refund Advance is a tax-related refund loan provided by MetaBank (it is not the actual tax refund). Available for a limited time and at participating locations. The amount of the advance will be deducted from tax refunds and reduce the amount that is paid directly to the taxpayer. Tax returns may be filed electronically without applying for this loan. Availability is subject to satisfaction of identity verification, eligibility criteria, application, approval, underwriting standards, and other terms and conditions. Only $200-$400 available with a paystub (or other acceptable pre-year-end income verification), and remaining amounts available with W-2 and upon filing tax return with the IRS. IRS delays may affect the delivery timing of loan proceeds. Disbursement rules apply. Funds loaded onto card within an hour and direct deposit next business day. Ask Tax Pro for details.
