TurboTax Refund Advance Options and Requirements for 2025 Tax Season
I keep hearing about people getting advances on their refunds thru TurboTax but when I try it says I'm not eligible. My refund is gonna be around $6k and I really need the money now. Has anyone actually gotten approved for this? What are the requirements?

Tax pro here. TurboTax Refund Advance is basically a loan based on your expected refund. You need a minimum refund amount (usually $500+), good credit score, and your return needs to pass their fraud checks. Also, you must pay for the deluxe version or higher and choose direct deposit. Not everyone qualifies because its actually a bank loan, not TurboTax giving you money.

What credit score do you need? mines like 600

They don't publicly share the exact number, but typically 600+ has a decent chance if everything else checks out 👍

Hey there! Instead of trying to figure out advance eligibility, you might want to check out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when you'll get your refund. It costs $4.99 but its wayyyy better than playing guessing games. https://taxr.ai

It's legit! Used it last week and it predicted my DD date down to the day. The AI goes through every line of your transcript and explains everything in plain English

I got approved for $2000 advance last week! Had to pay $39.99 for TT deluxe but worth it since I needed the cash

I'm in the same boat needing $ now but these advance loans are predatory af. The fees eat up so much of ur refund its not even worth it no cap
