Otherwise, it will be sent directly to your personal bank account. The same is true for any state refunds you are claiming. The fees will be taken out of whichever refund arrives first (federal or state), and the remainder will be transferred to your bank account. Once your fees have been paid, any subsequent refunds received will be transferred to your bank account without any additional fees taken out.\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\n\u003Ci>Refund Transfer is a deposit product offered by Green Dot® Bank, Member FDIC, that enables authorized amounts to be deducted from taxpayer's refund, with the remaining balance then paid to the taxpayer.
