Once the IRS accepts your e-filed return and if you are eligible and approved for Refund Advance and the Turbo Visa Debit Card, you’ll be able to start spending online, typically within 1 hour of the IRS accepting your return.

You’ll receive your Refund Advance virtual card info within 1 hour of the IRS accepting your e-filed return, by email. Any balance of your tax refund remaining will be sent to you after the IRS has accepted and processed your tax return, usually within 21 days. The IRS usually begins processing and accepting e-filed returns in late January.

You can only get the Refund Advance on a new Turbo Visa Debit Card. If you received a Turbo Prepaid Card last year, you’ll need to create a new account and receive a new card to receive your Refund Advance funds for this year.

You should have already received an email for your temporary card with information on how to create an account. Once you have created an account you should receive your advance within 48 hours on the temporary card. 

 

Please make sure you check your junk/spam folder. The sender will be turboprepaidcard@email.turboprepaidcard.intuit.com for your temporary prepaid card. 

 

Please refer to the following help article for more information.

do I receive the advance after the IRS “receives” or “approves”??? It doesn’t say accepts on the IRS site so I’m a bit confused.

Once your tax return has been accepted, you will be notified by email of your approved amount. The refund advance program is run through First Century Bank, a partner site, and they are responsible for determining if you qualify.

You may need to check your junk or spam mail folder if the email does not arrive in your inbox.  You should receive your temporary card information by email and you will have to set up your account online. You can expect to receive a couple of emails during this process to get your account set up. Forty-eight hours after your acceptance, your advance money will be available on the virtual card. The temporary card info will work for 15 days or until you activate your physical Turbo Card, which will arrive within 5 to 10 business days of IRS acceptance and loan approval.

For more information, please see the TurboTax FAQ  below:

Okay, but the language is different. So again, will the advance be initiated after the IRS “receives” OR “approves? Step 1 or step 2???

@Ashcat001, For over 99% of people approved, you'll get your Refund Advance typically within 1 hour of the IRS accepting your e-filed tax return.  Source:  About Refund Advance - Community

@DaraLO I understand that part. But on the IRS site it says “received”, “approved”, “sent”.

so is the advance initiated after it is “received” or “approved” per the IRS site)?

Intuit Alumni

Typically within 48 hours of the IRS accepting your return.

 

Once the IRS accepts your e-filed return and if you are eligible and approved for Refund Advance (a 0% APR loan with $0 loan fees) and the Turbo Visa Debit Card, you will first

get a notice in 1 hour, to set up the account. Once the account is set up the money then hits the account w/in 48 hrs.
