If you’re expecting a federal refund after completing your taxes with TurboTax, you may have the opportunity to apply for cash advance provided by First Century Bank, N.A. Member FDIC at the time you choose your refund method. The cash advance will be disbursed on a Turbo Prepaid Visa Card issued by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC (First Century Bank, N.A. is not affiliated with Intuit or Green Dot Bank).

Cash advance is a loan based upon your refund and is not the refund itself. To apply for cash advance, you must e-file your taxes with TurboTax and select cash advance on a Turbo Prepaid Visa® Card for your disbursement method. Availability of the cash advance is subject to satisfaction of identity verification, certain security requirements, eligibility criteria, and underwriting standards.

The Refund Advance will be available this year to select customers. You will not be able to self-select into the offer. If the offer is available to you then you will be able to select it in the Your refund info step of the File section. Here's an article you can view for more information.

@Kizzy1977 What do you need information about?

We don't know if they will offer Advances for 2019. If they do, you can't apply for it. Only if they offer it to you when you file.

Last year for 2018 returns the Refund Advance was only offered to select customers. It was a prepaid Visa on which some qualified users could get a refund loan--but only after their tax returns have been filed and accepted by the IRS which won't be until late January.
