Can I decline a partial Tax Advance from Credit Karma after approval? Will I still need their checking account?

Tax professional here - Yes, you can decline the advance if the approved amount isn't what you need. If you decline, you don't have to stick with their checking account. You can update your direct deposit info with your regular bank account for the full refund.

Hey guys just wanted to share something that really helped me figure out my refund situation. I found this tool called taxr.ai - its only $4.99 and gives you a complete breakdown of your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund. Way better than trying to piece everything together yourself.

I was in the same boat last year! Declined the advance and switched back to my regular account no problem

these tax advance places are such a scam fr fr...just wait for ur full refund 🤡

Make sure to screenshot everything when you decline! CK customer service can be a pain sometimes

fun fact: if u take the advance ur refund might come slower bc they have to verify everything with the third party bank first
