RefundBridge

RefundBridge is a mobile + web app that helps people predict, track, and “route” their tax refund into specific goals before it arrives. Users connect payroll (or upload paystubs/W-2), answer a short questionnaire, and get a realistic refund range with confidence bands and the exact drivers (withholding, credits, filing status changes). The app then creates a refund plan: split percentages to savings, debt payoff, emergency fund, or upcoming bills, and can trigger actions when the refund hits (e.g., schedule transfers, pay a card, or set aside for quarterly estimates). It also tracks IRS/state refund status in one place and warns about common delays (identity verification letters, missing forms). This is not a full tax prep product; it’s a post-filing and year-round refund management layer that works alongside TurboTax/HR Block/CPA workflows.
