When you complete your return AND it is ready to be efiled AND if you qualify you MAY be offered an advance of some kind ... so complete the REVIEW & FILE tabs to see if you are eligible ... be aware that you must use the Refund Processing Option where the fees are withheld from the federal refund and that will be an extra $39.99 or $45.99 fee ... read the screens carefully.

For 2019 it's too early to get an Advance.

 

I doubt anyone will give you an Advance before the end of the year.  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.
