IRS Refund Return Opt-In Program
The IRS Refund Opt-In Program was developed by the IRS and Nacha to make it easier for financial institutions to return tax refund credits in cases of suspected error or fraud.
What’s In It For You?
Numerous financial institutions, as well as the IRS and Bureau of the Fiscal Service, leverage Nacha Operating Rules and formats to recover questionable tax refunds sent via ACH PPD credits. The effort aims to improve government and financial institution operations and processing and to prevent future fraudulent refunds.
