H&R Block Refund Advance with Bad Credit (560-590) - Anyone Get Approved?

Got approved for H&R Block refund advances past 2 years ($3500 each time) but my credit score is pretty rough now (560-590 range). Anyone with similar credit get approved recently? Really need to know if I should even bother trying or look for other options.

Tax pro here - H&R Block refund advances are primarily based on your expected refund amount and tax filing history, not just credit score. They do a soft pull but its not the main factor. If you were approved before and your tax situation is similar, you'll probably be fine.

That's a huge relief, thank you! My refund should be about the same as last year

Hey instead of stressing about the advance, you should check out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when you'll get your refund. Only $4.99 and way better than playing the guessing game. https://taxr.ai

100% works. It showed me why my refund was delayed (missing w2) and helped me fix it. Got my money 2 weeks later

OMG just tried it - this thing is incredible! 🙌 It knew exactly why my refund was held up and gave me the exact steps to fix it. Worth way more than 5 bucks fr fr
