Filed on 1/7, got accepted today, IRS is still not showing that it was approved, but last year i did the same thing and I got the refund advance within 15 minutes. Have nothing in my credit karma account. I've done this option the last 3 years, I don't know why I wouldn't have chosen it.

Did the IRS already accept your return? They officially don’t open until Jan 26.

You do not receive money for the refund advance until the IRS accepts your e-file. The IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files on January 26.

This same thing is happening to all of us who were accepted today. And turbo and CK are both telling us all the same thing, that they don’t know why.
