TurboTax Refund Advance

[2013taxpayer]

This question is for those who have e-filed and have been accepted by IRS already with TurboTax Refund Advance. When you received your deposit in your CK card, did the amount match your pre-qualification amount? If it wasn’t, the amount received was more or less? And is this your first or second time doing the refund advance?

Thank you!

Just trying to figure out if it’s worth doing it for me because my pre-qualified amount is small but I’ve seen people say where they got more than what they pre-qualified for when filing. Also, is it true that you will get more if you have a completed W2? It doesn’t make sense to me because if the info matches with your last paystub…what’s the difference? Does their system know your job has completed their W2s?

Any feedback or help is appreciated! Thank you again!

Yes, there have been many that filed early and have been accepted by the IRS for their test batches. This is year seems more than usual too.

Thank you so much!

I got the same qualification amount, so that’s what made me think if it was even worth it but I guess it couldn’t hurt. Maybe I’ll get $1500 as well.

And yes that amounts matched both years. Last year was actually bigger but that’s because my return was a lot bigger

Oh I’m sorry
Filed 1/18
Accepted 1/19
I’m a pather
Used TurboTax payed fees upfront did the advance and got it within minutes of being accepted
Now the final waiting game begins
Good luck everybody

This is my second year doing it the amount was spot on what I was pre-approved for both years. The only drawback is the first year I did it I had to wait for the card to come in to access the money I do believe there is a way to transfer it off the credit karma card before you get it but I just waited
Hope this helps
