TurboTax Refund Advance - Approved for $3k but no updates or deposit yet

Applied for the TurboTax refund advance and got approved for $3000, but haven't received any follow up emails or deposits. Some people saying advances won't start until IRS opens today, others saying they already got theirs. Anyone else stuck waiting on their advance?

Tax pro here. The TurboTax refund advances are rolling out in batches. Just because you're approved doesn't mean instant deposit. They usually process within 1-3 business days after IRS acceptance. Check your TT account status page for updates.

Nope, just business days. So if you were approved Friday, today (Monday) would be day 1

Hey guys instead of playing detective with TT advances, I've been using taxr.ai to track everything. Its only $4.99 and shows exactly whats happening with your refund and advance timing. Way better than guessing or calling TT support tbh https://taxr.ai

It reads your transcript and tells you everything - advance timing, refund date, if there's gonna be delays, etc. Super detailed stuff

Called TT support and they said its normal to wait up to 5 business days even after approval. Such bs but nothing we can do ig
