It depends, TurboTax will begin offering an application for a cash advance (tax refund loan) in some returns. It will show in the interview to File, at the end of the return. The TurboTax FAQ below has up-to-date information about the offer and the process.

No, they do not give refund advances. Read everything carefully. Go to HR Block.
Funny they don't give them but they give you the option to pay for one. Total scam. Stick with h and r block. Turbo tax takes 6 to 8 weeks to get your refund. They have offered me an anticipation Loan the last 4 years and charged me for it. I have the paperwork. So thanks for saying they don't. I'm going to demand my money back. Filing with the it's themselves is faster than turbo tax and a lot cheaper. I'll use h and r block this year!
The IRS is supposed to release refunds today. As you can see it's going to take turbo tax a week to get your refund to you. I filed a complaint with the IRS a form 14157. Turbo Tax is a scam.
They in fact do give advances. The people on here complaining just dont understand the difference between pre-qualifying and qualifying. It even prompts you with information that might help you determine the difference. Thank you turbotax for partnering up with a bank and getting me my 1000$ advance. Took less than an hour for both federal and state to be accepted as well. Very pleased with turbotax this year and is another testimony to their hard work. I havd been a turbo tax customer for the last 12 years and have been happy each and every time i have filed.
Thanks yeah I got a 1000 the same day like 10 mins later
Well I filed mine and my taxes were accepted both state and federal and I didn't get the advance. So don't know what is going on.
Mines gave me the option before I efiled. And I literally got mines 10 mins after IRS ACCEPTANCE EMAIL CAME THRU. IT CAME IN MY PROMOTIONA FOLDER. U GET ONLINE CARD TO USE TEMP TO UR ACTUAL COME IN THE MAIL
And not everyone gets the Advance option. I did my husband a few days before mines and he didn't get the refund advance option for some reason either
H&R Block must literally be trolling these questions which is quite pathetic & says a lot, imo.
You may, indeed, be offered an advance on your tax refund. I was & it is NOT A SCAM as other H&R Block pluggers are suggesting.

Can i get an advance loan through turbo tax from my tax refund
This is an old thread from months ago that transferred into this new forum and thus has the wrong dates on it.
@ Chant123
I don't believe TurboTax offers a refund anticipation/cash advance at this time of the year. However, there is still a FAQ for a "cash advance" if offered when choosing a Turbo Prepaid VISA Card, but it may be old info. The FAQ says "limited time offer", and I believe it expired last filing season. Also it was only offered to certain users who met certain criteria; not all filers would see the offer. I'm currently asking TurboTax to confirm that it's no longer available.
Whether anything will be offered next tax season has not been announced.
The refund loan program for 2018 returns ended in February 2019
Hello,
I was hoping I could apply for the Turbo Advance. My mother is having some financial difficulties, and she’s on a fixed income. She can’t apply for loans or of course income taxes. I’m really wanting/needing to help her. I’m her only child close, and I’m not in the best financial situation to get her caught up on rent and utilities.
Thank you!
REFUND ADVANCE
Last year for 2018 returns, certain qualified users were offered refund advance amounts on prepaid Visas at the time of e-filing, predicated on the amount of the refund and their returns being accepted by the IRS. But it had to be offered--there was no way to opt in by request. If they offer a similar program for 2019 returns, do not expect to see it until January. Since a return cannot be e-filed and accepted until the end of January, you could not receive a loan until early February at best.
