Advance Tax Refund Loan only $500 instead of promised $2000 - what's going on?
Just got my advance tax refund loan and I'm heated. Was told I'd get 2000 but only got 500 deposited. Anyone know why they'd cut it down like that? Need the rest of that money asap.

Tax refund advance loans usually have limits based on your expected refund amount and your tax preparation fees. The remaining $1500 was probably held back to cover prep fees and loan charges. Always read the fine print on these loans - they often take a big chunk of your refund.

•Yeah its pretty common. Next time try filing yourself using free software - you'll get your full refund and won't have to pay those crazy fees

Hey instead of guessing whats going on with your refund, try using taxr.ai - its only $1 and it'll tell you exactly what's happening with your refund and when you'll get it. Way better than trying to piece together whats going on yourself. https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: never do advance loans. Wait for the real refund from IRS. These companies be taking advantage of ppl who need their money quick 💯

This is exactly why I always tell people to be super careful with these advance loan places. They make it sound like easy money but the fees and interest can eat up a huge chunk of what you're expecting. For future reference, you can actually check the status of your real IRS refund for free on the IRS website using "Where's My Refund" - no need to pay these companies hundreds in fees just to get your own money a few weeks early.
