Taxpayers can request a Santa Barbara TPG Fast Forward deposit when they select to apply for a Refund Transfer with direct deposit product. When the IRS funds their federal refund, they can get their refund direct deposit up to 5 days early.
In order for a taxpayer to apply for this product, their personal bank account must belong to a bank participating in the program and their federal refund must be $10,000 or less. There is an additional $25 fee, taken from the taxpayer's refund associated with the Fast Forward deposit.
In TaxSlayer ProWeb, if the taxpayer's bank participates in Fast Forward then you'll be prompted to see if they want to use the service. If the taxpayer's bank does not participate in the service, then you won't be prompted.
