************************************
Beginning Tax Season 2011, the IRS will no longer provide a confirmation of debt information to facilitate refund anticipation loans.

IRS Quote:
“As we prepare for tax season every year, we look at past practices and consider whether they still make sense. We no longer see a need for the debt indicator in a world where we can process a tax return and deliver a refund in 10 days,” IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said. “We encourage taxpayers to use e-file with direct deposit so they can get their refunds in just a few days.”
