FAST TAX REFUNDS

CAPE GIRARDEAU -- Real Estate Marketing Center, 1735 N. Kingshighway, has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service to offer fast tax refunds through electronic processing.

The center is affiliated with Electronic Financial Group, headquartered at Waco, Texas.

Taxpayers who have refunds coming may receive their money in as little as three days by using a Rapid Anticipation Loan, or in 10 days to three weeks by filing electronically.

"Refunds through the usual process take between six to eight weeks, so processing a refund is greatly expedited through electronic filing," said Paula Salzmann, broker-owner of Real Estate Marketing Center.
