Tax refund loans warning
Written by AZi Staff Writer   
Tuesday, 25 March 2008

Arizona's Attorney General Terry Goddard is warning Arizonans about the cost of those "refund anticipation" loans.  These loans are available to people who do not want to wait for their tax refund check.  But the loans can be costly with high fees for processing and interest.

A 2006 report by the consumer Federation of America and the National Consumer Law Center found that these loans cost $100 on average in interest.  That cost is on top of the average cost of tax preparation fees which is around $246. Goddard's office recommends tax payers utilize the electronic filing option for submitting your taxes, which takes about 10 days to process.  The office also has a number of tips for consumers to help them recieve their tax refunds a bit faster without the high costs of the tax refund loans.
