Credit Central FAQs

How will I receive my tax refund?

You will receive your tax refund either directly from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or through a facilitated process via Credit Central, depending on your payment preferences for tax preparation fees. If you choose to pay the prep fees upfront, the IRS can directly deposit your refund into your bank account, which is the fastest method, or send you a check by mail.

Credit Central offers a bank product return for those who prefer not to pay upfront. In this case, your refund is processed by the IRS and sent to a passthrough bank. From there, you can deposit your refund directly into your bank account or pick up a printed check at your local Credit Central branch. Please note that checks must be picked up in person as they require your signature and can only be released to the taxpayer listed on the return.

Additionally, Credit Central offers an exceptional service for those who need quicker access to their funds: tax advances of up to $6,0001 from your expected tax refund. This advance allows you to benefit from your refund almost immediately after your return is filed and accepted, providing flexible financial support when needed most. Choose Credit Central and access your refund faster and more conveniently.

What information will I need to provide to use Credit Central tax prep services?

To use Credit Central's tax preparation services, you'll need to provide several pieces of information to guarantee an accurate and efficient filing process. This includes your Social Security card, a valid form of identification, and all relevant financial documents such as W-2 forms, 1099 forms, investment income statements, and records of any eligible deductions and credits (e.g., educational expenses, charitable donations). 

If you're a business owner, you will need to provide additional documentation related to your business expenses and income. Our secure app simplifies the document upload process, making it easy to organize everything for your tax preparation.
