Scenario 2: The final tax bill is $ 6,000, but you have to pay $ 1,000 of your wage. Normally you would a check for $ 1,000. In this scenario, you receive $ 9,000, $ 8,000 of the loan plus the $ 1,000 you paid for.
Scenario 3: Your final tax bill is $ 6,000, but you must pay through your account keeping$ 1,000. Normally you would need to write the IRS a check for $ 1,000. This time, the first $ 1,000 of the tax bill, and receive the remaining 7,000 as compensation.
