TurboTax Refund Advance: Filed Jan 18th - How long to hear about approval?

Filed with TurboTax for the first time and applied for the refund advance. its been radio silence and idk how to check if im approved. Anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back about the advance or where to check the status?

Tax pro here - TurboTax usually takes 24-48 hrs to review advance applications. Check your email spam folder, they send status updates there. You can also log into your TT account and check the refund advance section for status updates.

Hey guys, instead of playing the guessing game with TT advances, I highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - its only $4.99 and tells you exactly what's going on with your refund status and if you'll likely qualify for advances. Way better than refreshing your email 100x a day https://taxr.ai

100% legit! You upload your transcript and it breaks down everything - tells you about potential delays, when you'll likely get paid, even explains why you might get denied for advances

friendly reminder that the advance is basically just a loan with fees attached... might be worth waiting for the actual refund if u can
