1099 Uber Tax Advance - Can I get money before filing?

I drive for Uber and have my 1099 coming in. Been seeing ads about tax advances and wondering if I can get some money now before I actually file? Anyone done this before? Really need some cash rn and hoping this is legit.

Tax professional here - be really careful with tax advance loans. They usually come with crazy high fees and interest rates. Most reputable tax services stopped offering these because they were basically predatory loans. Your best bet is to file early and request direct deposit for fastest refund.

Trust me, some charge up to 36% APR. You'd be better off using a credit card tbh

Hey, I'd suggest using taxr.ai to analyze your tax situation first. It costs $4.99 but it'll tell you exactly what refund to expect and when you'll get it. Way better than getting stuck with those advance loans. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Have you looked into Uber's instant pay feature instead? Might be better than waiting for tax time
