Can I get tax refund advance before IRS approves return?
Been waiting on my refund and really need the money. Anyone know if I can get an advance before the IRS approves it? Do I have to wait for the approval or can I get it sooner?

Tax advances are typically offered by tax preparation companies, not the IRS. They're actually loans based on your expected refund with interest rates and fees. You need to file through a company that offers this service like H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt. But honestly, I'd avoid them if possible - the fees can be pretty steep.

•Can be anywhere from $25-$100 plus a percentage of your refund. Some places charge up to 36% APR 😬

Hey! Instead of waiting blindly, you should check out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund and if there are any issues. Only costs $1 and its way better than playing the guessing game. https://taxr.ai

Just wait it out if you can. The IRS is slow but at least you'll get your full refund without fees
