e-File

RHODES-MURPHY offers free e-File to all of our clients. The experts at RHODES-MURPHY have been accepted into the electronic filing program called "Authorized IRS e-file Providers." We are the Electronic Return Originator (ERO) who transmits your tax return information to the IRS.

How does all of this work?
We prepare your tax return. You sign your electronic tax return by either using a Self-Select PIN for e-file for a completely paperless return, or by signing Form 8453. After you sign the return using a Self-Select PIN or Form 8453, we transmit the return to the IRS. Once received at the IRS, the return is automatically checked by computers for errors and missing information. If it cannot be processed, it is sent back to us to clarify any necessary information. Within 48 hours of electronically sending your return to IRS, the IRS sends an acknowledgment to RHODES-MURPHY stating the return is accepted for processing. This is your proof of filing and assurance that the IRS has your return information.

If due a refund, you can expect to receive it in approximately three weeks from the acknowledgment date - even faster with Direct Deposit (half the time as when filed on paper). If you owe tax, we have options to assist you as well. As the client, you must pay the preparation fees up-front, before the return can be e-filed.IRS e-file returns are virtually error-proof with an error rate of less than one percent. IRS e-file greatly reduces the chance that you will get an error letter from the IRS.

What about my state return?
RHODES-MURPHY participates in the Federal/State e-file program for both Georgia, South Carolina, and many other states.

Refund Loans/Bank Products

Offered as an enhancement of the e-filing process, bank products are popular because there are no up-front fees required from you, the taxpayer. Please take a look at the individual products or loans listed below:

The Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL) is a loan on your refund.
Once it is approved by the bank, you will be issued a check for the refund, minus the fees.  
This cycle is usually 1-4 days.

Another bank product is called the Bonus Deposit. 
When your refund is funded, you will be issued a check for the refund minus the fees.

The Bonus Pass Thru is a product that sends the refund directly into your account minus the fees. 
The cycle for both the Bonus Deposit and the Bonus Pass Thru is usually 11-18 days.
