Paper RT's allow funds to be deducted, from a taxpayers refund even if their return has been rejected, and is unable to be e-filed. To complete a Paper-RT the return must be IRS rejected.
The most common reasons to use a Paper-RT include:
IP Pin Required- Taxpayer cannot get IP Pin in their IRS account and does not have the letter.
Follow the steps below to complete a Paper RT:
Open the Rejected Return.
Select the Print Drop-Down Menu.
Select Paper File RT.
Failure to print from the Print Menu and the Paper File RT option will result in issues with the refund being disbursed when the return funds.
Print the documents.
Prepare the return to be mailed. Include copies of forms with withholding. When mailing a return to the IRS the signatures must be physical signatures. Failure to use a physical signature will generate a letter from the IRS.
Transmit to Central Site so that the Paper RT information can be submitted to TPG.
Note: If State Return is required you will need to get it printed/signed and submit the state return as well.

What Happens After You Complete A Paper RT?
The 1040 that was printed for the Paper File RT has TPG’s Direct Deposit Information on it, so when/if the IRS releases the refund it will be sent to TPG
TPG will use the information that was submitted to them on the rejected return
From there, the process should work as normal. TPG will deduct Prep Fees /Tax Advances and deposit them to the proper location
The remaining refund will be distributed according to the choice on the Bank App.
