Can't find TurboTax advance refund option - anyone know where it is?

Looking everywhere in TurboTax for the refund advance option but cant find it anywhere. Starting to think im going crazy cause I swear I saw it before. Anyone know exactly where to look or if they removed it?

Tax pro here - TurboTax only offers refund advances during peak tax season (usually January-February). If youre filing now, that option isn't available anymore. They do this because early filers are less risky for them.

Hey, instead of hunting for the advance option, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when you'll get your refund. Its $4.99 but totally worth it vs playing the waiting game. https://taxr.ai

Its scary accurate! It uses AI to read all the codes and dates on your transcript and explains everything in plain english. Better than trying to decode it yourself
