Permitting Flexibility in Addressing Taxpayer Needs.

ACTR members believe that taxpayers know their own circumstances and needs best, and we try to provide a variety of services and products that fit those circumstances and needs. For example, millions of taxpayers do not have an established banking relationship, and thus a bank product such as a refund transfer (where a temporary bank account is established for the electronic receipt of a taxpayer’s tax refund) may be an option that best suits their circumstances and needs. Additionally, a refund advance – where a specified amount of a taxpayer’s expected refund is “advanced” to the taxpayer (often at no cost)- may best suit their circumstances and needs.

Partnerships

The American Coalition for Taxpayer Rights (ACTR) was formed in 2011 by the nation’s leading retail tax preparation and tax software companies and financial institutions, which collectively prepare and file more than 120 million of the 155 million federal tax returns annually. ACTR advocates for taxpayer rights and strengthens America’s voluntary tax compliance system.
