Pay with Your Federal Refund

It’s Simple!

Looking for a convenient $0 out-of-pocket payment option for tax preparation fees? Ask your tax preparer about paying with your federal refund!

How Drake Refund Pay™ Works

1

File Your Taxes

Ask your preparer when preparing your taxes. You will pay nothing at the time of tax preparation and all of your tax preparation fees will automatically be paid from your tax refund.

2

IRS Processes Your Return

The IRS will review your tax return and issue your refund, pending no issues or outstanding credits.

3

Our Processing Partner Receives Your Return and Distributes Funds

When your tax refund comes in from the IRS, our processing partner deducts the tax preparation fee. The amount remaining is then sent to you.

4

You Receive Your Tax Refund Proceeds

Your refund is directly deposited to your bank account.

It’s that easy—you'll pay nothing when your taxes are filed, and your tax preparation fees will automatically be paid from your tax refund.
