Plus they themselves have calculated that you're due a refund that will cover that cost already at this point, and they're going to directly pull their fees out of it... while not 100%, it's got to be pretty near the bottom in terms of risk. Especially if they still wait to pay you the balance until the refund is actually paid by the Treasury.
- toast0 5y agoThere's a few risks they're taking still. a) that you have an outstanding tax bill, or other garnishment, and while you overpaid, you will not be receiving a refund, and they'll need to find you to make payment some other way. b) the return is fraudulent and they're going to have to pick up the pieces when the IRS figures it out and reverses the deposit. Plus, they didn't get paid. Is that $40 of risk? Eh, probably not, but it's something.
