Tax refunds and tax fee information you need to know.

If you do not have EITC or ACTC on your return, your refund is typically processed within 8 to 21 days.

If you do have EITC or ACTC, your refund will not be processed until after February 15. This is an IRS rule, not a tax office delay.

If you received a cash advance, remember this order:

The cash advance is taken off the top
Then tax prep fees are taken
You receive the remaining balance

Now let’s talk about fees coming out of your refund.

If you elected to have your fees taken out of your refund and you are also receiving a state refund, and your tax company selected for it to be deposited through a third-party tax bank, here’s what happens:

If your state refund comes before your federal, the bank will apply it to:

Your cash advance first

If no cash advance, then toward your fees

When your federal refund is released, your state and federal will be deposited together.

Important banking reminder:

If you chose to have your fees taken out of your refund, that is a bank service.

Your personal bank information is not listed on your tax return.

The third-party bank’s information is listed instead.

Your personal bank information is only on the third-party bank application.

So if you call the IRS and they say your bank account is not on the return, that is normal. No one is stealing your money.

If you paid your tax prep fees out of pocket, the third-party bank is not involved, and your refund comes directly from the IRS to your bank. In that case, make sure your bank information is correct.

One last thing about fees.

When you choose to have fees taken out of your refund, you are paying more than just the tax preparer. You are also paying:

The bank
The tax software company
Administrative and processing fees
Electronic filing

If you received a cash advance, you are also paying interest. For example, a $7,000 advance can carry fees of around $222 by itself.

Those fees do not all go to the tax pro.

Just a few friendly reminders, because I know it’s been a whole year since last tax season.

Before the IRS starts accepting returns and releasing refunds, let’s talk about why your tax return might get flagged—and what happens if it does.

Every year, the IRS puts filters in place that automatically flag returns for additional verification. The most common reasons are:

• Identity verification
• Income verification
• Dependent verification

But that’s not all. Returns can also get flagged due to IRS system errors—yes, sometimes the IRS has technical glitches that wrongly flag returns.

Every year, they also add new filters based on what’s trending on their Dirty Dozen list (that’s the list of credits and deductions they’re watching closely). The thing is—tax pros won’t know what those filters are until returns start getting sent in and specific returns start getting held up.

Now here’s what most people don’t know:
👉 Your return can be flagged even if there’s nothing wrong with it.
It just gets picked up by a filter, and you have to go through the process.

The most important thing to remember:
🚫 No tax pro—nobody—can stop your return from getting flagged
🚫 We can’t speed it up
🚫 It doesn’t matter if you’ve NEVER had a problem before—any year, it can be you

If your return gets flagged, expect delays. It could take weeks or even months for your refund to be released, because now an actual IRS agent has to manually review it before it moves forward.

Normal returns get released by the system in 8 to 21 days. If your refund isn’t released by day 21, that’s usually a sign it was flagged. And just know—the IRS won’t even talk about your return until those 21 days are up.

📌 If you’re filing with EITC or ACTC, your process doesn’t even start until after Feb 15, which is why those refunds never drop until at least a week after Feb 15.

Just be patient. File early. Be accurate. And to help you through it.

Hacer trámites legales, bancarios o de gobierno.
Comprar o vender propiedades, autos o bienes.
Cobrar cheques o manejar cuentas bancarias.
Representar en casos legales o administrativos.
Tomar decisiones médicas o de salud (en algunos casos).
Hay varios tipos, por ejemplo:
Poder general: otorga facultades amplias para muchos asuntos.
Poder especial: se limita a un trámite o acción específica.
