Get your refund amount in as little as one day with our Electronic Refund Advance (ERA)!

You may even receive the money in just one day! (ERA is only available through April 30, 2001.) If you qualify, there's no faster way to get the amount of your refund deposited directly into your checking account. ERA is a loan, and a fee for this service is charged by the lending institution, Household Bank, f.s.b. Some restrictions may apply. Complete details are contained in the program. (Offer subject to IRS approval.)
