Memphis, TN - TaxShield Service has introduced a new offering for tax filers in Memphis: a complimentary tax refund advance of $1,000, available on the same day clients file their tax return. The program allows eligible individuals to access a portion of their refund immediately, without fees, interest, or credit checks, by filing their 2024 tax return through a participating TaxShield location.
The new service is part of TaxShield's broader Refund Advance Program, which includes two options: a bank-funded advance of up to $7,000 and a TaxShield-funded complimentary advance of up to $1,000. The $1,000 option is designed to improve approval odds, as it bypasses traditional underwriting and relies solely on the client's tax return data. Filers may choose one or both advances depending on their needs and eligibility.
This initiative comes as IRS refund timelines continue to stretch into multiple weeks for many households. For working individuals who rely on early access to their tax refund to pay bills or manage daily expenses, the program offers a quicker solution. After the client's return is filed and accepted by the IRS, the approved advance is deposited directly into their bank account, often within minutes.
To determine eligibility, Memphis filers can complete a short pre-qualification form on TaxShield's website. The form collects basic tax-related information and instantly displays a pre-approval amount. If satisfied, the individual may proceed with filing their return through TaxShield and receive the advance shortly thereafter.
"Many people don't have time to wait three weeks for the IRS to issue a refund," said Abiye A., spokesperson for TaxShield Service. "This $1,000 advance option is structured to remove common barriers like credit checks and interest fees, helping filers get their money faster and more conveniently."
The advance is not a traditional loan. It is deducted from the final IRS refund amount, meaning clients are receiving only part of their refund in advance. TaxShield emphasizes that the service is optional and that tax returns can still be filed without applying for an advance.
The newly added option expands TaxShield's mission to support Memphis residents with accessible, straightforward tax solutions. Individuals interested in the $1,000 complimentary advance must file through the TaxShield Service location on Austin Peay Highway and complete the pre-qualification process on the company's website. Filing services are available by appointment or on a walk-in basis during tax season.
