The IRS has passed the new PATH Act which will hold the entire tax refund for taxpayers filing for the Earned Income Credit (EIC), the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) until after February 15, 2017. Which means that most of those refunds will probably not be released until after February 27th for processing time.

This law was enacted to ensure that taxpayers actually get the refund they are owed by giving the IRS more time to help detect and prevent fraud.

For those who maybe affected by this delay, Trinity Global Financial Group is offering an advance on your tax refund up to $1,250 at no cost to the taxpayer. The advance is available within 24 hours of the IRS acceptance of the tax refund. An Easy Advance is a loan secured by your tax refund and is offered by Republic Bank & Trust Company, member FDIC, to eligible taxpayers. There are no fees or interest associated with the Easy Advance. Loan amount is determined by your expected tax refund less authorized fees.

If the Net Refund amount is $1,100 - $2,500, you are eligible for a $800 Easy Refund Advance. If the Net Refund amount is $2,500 and up, you are eligible for a $1,250 Easy Refund Advance.

The Advance can be disbursed by the following options: Direct Deposit, Check, Pre-Paid Visa Card, or by Walmart Direct2Cash.
