TurboTax Refund Advance: No Update on Credit Karma Card After Federal Acceptance
I filed through turbotax today and opted for the refund advance with credit karma. My federal return was accepted about 2 hours ago but I dont see anything pending on my credit karma card. Anyone know how long this usually takes or how to check if im approved for the advance?

Tax professional here - the refund advance approval usually takes 24-48 hours after acceptance. Just because your return was accepted doesn't automatically mean youll get the advance. They review your tax history and other factors. Check your email for updates from Credit Karma

•Log into your TurboTax account and check the refund advance section. It should show 'pending' or 'approved' status 👍

Check your spam folder too! Sometimes the approval emails end up there
