TurboTax Refund Advance Missing - Filed 1/24 but No Option Available
Filed my taxes with TurboTax on January 24th but never saw the refund advance option during the filing process. I know other people got it but my screen never showed it. Did I miss something or do something wrong?

Tax pro here - The refund advance through TurboTax is only available for a limited time early in the season and usually requires a minimum expected refund amount (usually $500+). They also run out of advance funding pretty quick, sometimes within the first few weeks of filing season.

I believe it was around Jan 15th this year, but they don't publicly announce the exact cutoff date

Hey everyone! Instead of trying to piece together why you didnt get the advance option, you should try taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on with your return and if you qualify for different programs. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it https://taxr.ai

tbh the advance isn't worth it anyway. they charge fees and the interest is crazy high
