If you are denied a tax advance by one preparer, you are very likely to be denied again if you go elsewhere.
🚨 Here’s why:
💡Many tax preparers use the same bank to offer tax advances. Applying again doesn’t change the decision.
💡In most cases, a credit inquiry has already been recorded, and the bank can see that you were recently denied.
💡Switching preparers can also create issues with who the IRS accepts first to file your return, which may delay processing altogether.
Before reapplying, it’s best to understand why the advance was denied and address the issue rather than submitting multiple applications.
