Liberty Tax Refund Advance: Federal or State Refund Deduction?
I got a refund advance loan from Liberty Tax and I'm trying to figure out if they're going to take their payment from my state refund or federal refund. Anyone know how this works? My federal is about $5k and state is $800.

Tax preparer here - Liberty Tax typically takes their refund advance payment from your federal refund. They set up the direct deposit info during your tax prep to route your federal refund to their account first, take their fees + advance payment, then send the rest to you. Your state refund should come to you directly.

thx for clarifying! do you know how long it usually takes for them to process and send the remainder?

Usually 24-48 hrs after they receive it from IRS. But depends on your bank too

Hey, instead of guessing, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and shows exactly how Liberty's gonna handle your refund. Its only $4.99 and shows everything about your refund status. https://taxr.ai

100% legit. Used it last week and it showed me exactly when Liberty was getting my refund and when I'd get my portion. Super detailed breakdown

I'm in the same boat rn. Liberty took their payment from my federal last year, state came straight to my account
