LPT: Check your credit karma money account if you have one. Sometimes it shows up there before the TT account for sum reason

Same issue here! Filed on the 16th, got IRS acceptance within hours, but it's been 6 days with zero communication from TurboTax about the advance status. Not even a denial email. Starting to think they oversold their advance capacity this year and are just hoping people forget about it 😤 Anyone know if there's a way to check advance status without calling their useless support line?

same boat bestie! been refreshing my email like a clown for the past hour 🤡

idk why everyone's obsessed w these advance loans when they take like half ur money in fees. just wait for the real refund imo

Just wanted to throw in my experience. Last year I messed up and left line 32 blank on my Schedule C because I didn't understand it. Got a letter from the IRS about 3 months later asking me to clarify. Wasn't a big deal - just had to respond saying "Yes" all investments were at risk (since I just had a simple freelance writing business with my laptop and some software). But it delayed my refund by about 6 weeks, so definitely worth just answering it correctly the first time!

Thanks for asking this question - I was literally stuck on the same line yesterday! After reading through all these responses, I'm feeling much more confident. I have a small graphic design business and invested about $2,500 in software licenses and equipment. Based on what everyone's saying, it sounds like "Yes" is definitely the right answer since I could potentially lose that money if my business doesn't work out. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences - it's so much clearer than the official IRS instructions. Going to mark "Yes" and finally submit this thing!

Did you check if Credit Karma is having any technical issues? Their app can be kinda buggy sometimes ngl 🤡

Same situation here! Filed yesterday afternoon and got accepted this morning but still nothing in my Credit Karma account. From what I've read, the advance can take up to 72 hours to show up even after acceptance. The waiting is definitely nerve-wracking when you need the money ASAP but sounds like we just gotta be patient 😅

USPS has an Informed Delivery service that emails you images of mail coming to your address each day. Sign up for that so you'll know when your check is arriving! Saved me from obsessively checking my mailbox. As for timeline, mine took 8 business days to arrive after the 846 date.

This exact same thing happened to me last year! Filed in February expecting direct deposit but got a paper check instead. Turned out my credit union had flagged it as suspicious activity and rejected it without even notifying me. From my experience: once your transcript shows the 846 code with a date, expect the check to arrive 7-14 business days later depending on where you live. Mine took exactly 9 business days to reach me in Texas. Pro tip: sign up for USPS Informed Delivery like someone else mentioned - it'll show you a preview of your mail each morning so you'll know the day your check is coming. Saved my sanity from constantly checking the mailbox! And yes, your transcript will definitely update with the actual mail date (the 846 code date). That's your most reliable indicator of when it was sent out. The automated phone line is pretty useless for timing but the transcript doesn't lie. Hang in there - I know it's frustrating when you're counting on that money! 💪
