MOST FREQUENT PROBLEMS:
PROTAX REFUND data show that approximately 5–7% of all refund checks are returned back as undeliverable mostly with incomplete or wrong address. PROTAX REFUND can assist in case your refund check was lost and ask for a reprint of the check but this will delay the refund process. To avoid these problems clients should provide PROTAX REFUND with valid mailing address and all documents while submiting their ONLINE claim. To minimize the problem named above PROTAX REFUND offers its clients an option to ask for a Direct Deposit in any U.S. or domestic bank. Direct deposits should avoid such problem with endelivered refund checks.
Listed below are most frequent problems:
- incorrect mailing address of a client – please make sure you send us proper format of your address
- missing W-2 forms – you have to attach W-2s from all employers you worked for. In case of missing W-2 form attach at least last paycheck from given employer
- missing or wrong Social Security Number – if possible attach a scan of SSN card with your signature when filling out ONLINE REGISTRATION, missing SSN card can delay processing of your refund
- incomplete data or incomplete gross earnings information – you MUST show all your earnings even if no taxes were withheld. Also please try to scan all documents in a printable quality.
