‡Earlybird Advance is an optional tax-refund loan from MetaBank® (not the actual tax refund). Loan amount will be deducted from tax refunds and reduce the refund amount that is paid directly to the taxpayer. Tax returns may be filed electronically without applying. Loans offered in amounts of $500, $750, or $1,000. Availability subject to satisfaction of identity verification, eligibility criteria, and underwriting standards. If approved, loan funds issued on a prepaid Serve® card provided by American Express that will be mailed to taxpayer. No monthly fees to use the prepaid card but other fees including out-of-network ATM fees may apply. For more information about card fees, visit American Express. After loan repayment, any remaining tax refund proceeds will be issued on the American Express Serve® card. This is a limited-time offer subject to change without notice at any time, and it's not available in Maine.
