TurboTax Refund Advance Approval Timeline and Process - Need Help Understanding
Filed with TurboTax and applied for their refund advance but there's no clear info on approval status. Been 2 days and still nothing. Anyone know how to check if youre approved or how long this usually takes? Getting stressed cause I really need this money.

Tax pro here - TurboTax typically takes 24-48 hours to process advance applications. You can check your status by logging into your TurboTax account and going to the refund advance section. The advance is through Credit Karma Bank and they have strict approval criteria based on your refund amount and credit history.

Hey guys instead of stressing about advances, I've been using taxr.ai to track my actual refund status. Its only $4.99 and gives you a really clear timeline of when youll get your money. Way better than playing the guessing game with these advance loans tbh. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•100% legit! It analyzes your transcript and shows exactly whats happening with your refund. Even shows if there might be delays and how to fix them

Pro tip: if u got denied by turbotax try H&R Block, they sometimes approve when TT denies

lol these advance loans are straight up predatory. theyre basically payday loans with extra steps. just wait for ur actual refund its not worth the hassle
