When you sign an affair file at the end and things quite don't work out can you cancel and go somewhere else

@lisaoshman1964   Please correct your typo so we know what you are asking--"When you sign an affair file at the end..."  What do you mean?  If you actually file your tax return, then no, you cannot just go somewhere else and file if your return is accepted.

They will not give you a refund advance. It's a scam. GO TO HR BLOCK!!! YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR MONEY THE DAY OF.

Yeah, TurboTax advance is a joke. I was "pre-approved" but then denied because of past tax offsets which have been PAID! I'd go elsewhere if you want to try for an advance.

File a form 14157 form with the IRS. They will not answer you or give you a copy of your return until  you pay them $19.99. No other tax company does this.

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.

Actually they do give refund advances. You must wait until the IRS process and accepts tax return after 01/28/2019. Ther is no way to approve advances as there is a change your return could be rejected. Once the return has been accepted refund advances will be available up to 7 hour after the return has been accepted

@uptop222...Do you work at H&R Block or something?

No. But if I would have went there I would have had my money the same day. My tax return has been accepted by the IRS. January 28th is the first day the IRS is issuing refunds. There is NO advance refund!

I think it's a scam as well to get you to use their card or something. I've been with Turbo tax for 4yrs and never had a problem with getting my refund and I was denied for the advance.

Were did it give you the option for advance?  I have filed with them for 5 years myself and didn't see it.

I've been with Turbo Tax 8 years, and did not get the option to for the advance loan either.

that sucks... were we supposed to apply for it before filing? Turbo tax need to fix that and stop false advertising.

Before you submit your returns it asks you do you want the advance. It's crazy cause I've been searching the internet all day and no one has gotten approved for it.
