FreeTaxUSA Advance Refund with Chime - Does this work?

Filed with FreeTaxUSA and planning to use my Chime account for the refund deposit. Anyone know if they do refund advances like some other tax services? Really need the money sooner rather than later.

FreeTaxUSA doesn't offer refund advances. Only H&R Block, TurboTax, and Jackson Hewitt do that. With Chime you'll just have to wait for the actual IRS deposit, but they usually post 2 days early.

Hey, I know waiting is rough but you should check out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund. It's $4.99 but worth it to know what's actually going on. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Yeah its legit! It uses AI to read your transcript and breaks everything down. Shows all processing dates, codes, and gives you a really accurate timeline
