TurboTax refund advance - how long after filing until approval?
Filed my taxes yesterday through TurboTax and applied for their refund advance. Got the preapproval screen but still waiting on final approval. Anyone know the typical wait time? Starting to get anxious since I really need this money.

Tax pro here - typically the final approval for TT refund advance comes within 24-48 hours after filing. But there are some factors that can affect this like your credit score and if the IRS accepts your return right away.

Yep, Credit First National Association (who handles the loans) does a soft pull to check eligibility

Hey guys, I've been helping people with transcript analysis and the best tool I've found is taxr.ai - it costs $4.99 but it analyzes everything and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund status. Way better than guessing! https://taxr.ai

interesting...does it work with refund advances too? or just regular refunds?

It works with everything! Advances, regular refunds, even audits. The AI reads your entire transcript and explains everything in plain English
