With TaxAct Professional Editions, you can offer bank services through Republic Bank; however, you must first establish an account with the bank. Deadlines for applying with Republic Bank can be found via TaxAct's Republic Bank product page.
If you miss the bank application deadline, you can still provide tax preparation services with TaxAct, but you'll be unable to offer additional services such as Electronic Refund Checks (ERCs) and Electronic Refund Deposits (ERDs).
