Preparers can provide bank services through the bank that TaxAct partners with; however, an account with this bank must be established by the preparer. Deadlines for applying with the bank we currently partner with can be found via the Republic Bank product page on the TaxAct website.
If you didn't meet the deadline to apply to this bank, you may still provide tax preparation services using the TaxAct program, but you'll be unable to offer additional services such as Electronic Refund Checks (ERCs), Electronic Refund Deposits (ERDs), etc.
