Yes, we offer tax cash advances to qualified clients. A tax cash advance is a loan against your anticipated tax refund. We work with a third-party lender who will advance you the money.

To qualify for a tax cash advance, you must have a minimum refund amount and meet certain eligibility requirements. Our team of tax professionals can help you determine if you qualify and guide you through the application process.

Additionally, there may be fees associated with the advance, so it's important to review all terms and conditions before accepting the loan.

There were several factors that contributed to smaller refunds in 2023 & 2024, including changes to tax laws, the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, and increased enforcement measures by the IRS. In 2023, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 continued to be in effect, but some of the provisions that were originally set to expire were extended, resulting in a different tax landscape. Additionally, the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on many individuals' income levels and tax liabilities. Finally, the IRS increased its efforts to crack down on tax fraud and evasion, which could have reduced the amount of fraudulent refund claims. If you have questions about your specific tax situation, please contact LA Tax & Associates for personalized guidance.
