In the United States the Internal Revenue Service rules prohibit basing this fee on the amount of the expected refund. An additional fee is usually charged by the service for originating a bank product and establishing a short-term bank account. By law this fee must be the same on both loan and non-loan bank products, and in 2004 the average fee was $32. The bank through which the loan is made charges finance charges.

These types of loans feed off of people's inability to exercise any patience whatsoever, even if it leads to them forfeiting some of their own tax return. That is money that they could have used for a night out, tucked into an annuity, or purchased whatever their hearts desired. Glad that you are getting the word out! Jerry Great point.
