Refund Advance

[IGMR Admin]

Let’s talk about advances. Who got one? Who didn’t? Why? With who? Spill it.

Past 5-8 years I have always used turbotax, past 3 years had gotten refund advance. I decided not to use turbotax this year as in 2020 tax year I was forced to pay for deluxe even though it said i had the free version all the way until the end when i was ready to file so i decided not to do the refund advance nor use them. i used freetaxusa for the first time and I really enjoyed how it was laid out.

Update-wasn’t getting answers from TT about advance. They’re still saying I never applied. So, called 1st Century (the ones who supply the advance) They DO have my advance application for $2500 but they hadn’t yet received a notification from IRS that my return had been accepted. Called this a.m. and they received it! Now, they said I should know something either way within 48hrs.
Filed 1/27 Accept 1/27 TT

I get the refund advance every year through turbo tax. I have 3 children so my refund is fairly high. This hear, they would not approve me for the refund advance and I have no idea why but it is extremely frustrating!!

I filed with h&r block. Got advance of $750 first time I ever got an advance. Lady who did taxes said if I get advance next year will probably be higher. My taxes were accepted before I walked out got advance on emerald card hour later. Checked wmr last night at one bar.

Tpg is a joke when it comes to fast cash advance I’m getting back almost 10k and their bank first century only gave a advance of 750.00 really!!!! Others I know said they only got 500.00🤔

I applied for the refund advance on turbo tax through Credit Karma. My return was accepted yesterday around 5:00 PM and the $4,000 advance was in my Credit Karma spend account when I checked again at 8:00 PM.

I filed with TT and prequalified for $2400 advance. Federal was accepted at 10:30am/est. No notification or deposit as of yet. Called TT and was told acceptance of federal by IRS had not registered in their system, even though I received the email and app is reflecting such. Was told to call back tomorrow a.m. if have not received email or deposit.

I didn’t because TT wanted to put it on a Credit Carma pre-paid card.

So I already had credit karma first time filling with turbo tax pre approved for 3000 refund advance accepted by IRS 1/26/2022 at 11:05 pm yet still no money on account. Wondering how long is taking for people to receive.

Can people that claim kids get refund advance already or do we have to wait until Feb 15

I already had a credit karma account too. It was deposited around noon time. I thought I wasn’t going to get the advance even though I was approved because I hadn’t heard from them until right when it was deposited. So don’t worry, it can show up between 1 hour or up to 48 hours after the irs accepts your return.

I just filed tonight with TT. I was pre-approved for a $3000 advance and I already have a Credit Karma spend account. IRS accepted my return about 15 minutes after I filed, and still nothing in my Credit Karma account. It’s been about 90 minutes. Hopefully something will happen overnight. 🙏🏻

[Jenjen00]

My advance was deposited today, so almost 48 hours after IRS accepted. Didn’t get any emails, I just randomly checked my credit karma app and it was there.

Filed on 1/25 with HR block with the refund advance. Still no acceptance letter from the irs or advance from the block. I’ve done this a few years ago before with H&R Block and got my refund advance the same day or that very next morning that I applied for it so I wonder what’s what’s the hold up this year.

filled 1/24 approved for 3k advance was just Deposited at 8 PM Pacific standard time hope this helps

[Jenjen00]

I was offered $1,000 but my federal was accepted last night and haven’t got the advance or email about the advance.

Did taxes yesterday was approved for 500$ advance even tho mine was 14k how long you think we waiting this year for direct deposit taxes? I’m using Lili Banking

I am in enrolled agent so I always do my own taxes however this year I was diagnosed with colon cancer so I really need the money right now so I went ahead and paid TurboTax even though I swear my clients tell me how bad they are just to get the refund advance. Said I was only eligible for opted $250 yet my refund is $8,000 I feel like these refund advance places are a crock of crap. I will never do this again I will always file my own tax returns I can’t believe I paid someone else to do it.
