how do i get an advance

Do you see the option for receiving your refund? The Refund Advance is not available to everyone. 

 

Here are a couple things to check:

  • If you are using a TurboTax partner affiliate link to use the software, the Refund Advance will not be available.
  • If you select the 5 Day Early Refund Delivery, you will not see the Refund Advance option, but you can return to the refund selection page and find all the options listed.

See this resource for more information: 

Offer details and disclosures for the Refund Advance  program
