With TaxAct Professional Edition, you can offer bank services through Republic Bank; however, you must first establish an account with the bank. Deadlines for applying with Republic Bank can be found via TaxAct’s Republic Bank product page.

If you miss the bank application deadline, you can still provide tax preparation services with TaxAct, but you’ll be unable to offer additional services such as Electronic Refund Checks (ERCs) and Electronic Refund Deposits (ERDs).

Enroll with Republic Bank:

1. Sign in to your TaxAct account.
2. Click the Bank Enrollment tile.
3. Click the Enroll button in the Republic Bank section.
4. Fill out the enrollment form and click the Submit button at the bottom.

NOTE: To enroll in taxpayer advance programs offered through Republic Bank, log in at republicrefund.com and opt in for the program after completing your enrollment. You can also offer clients early access to federal refunds with Early Access.
