How do I go about getting the advance? I just got done doing my own taxes just need to know how to get the advance

You choose the Refund Advance when you go to e-file your Federal return.  You also need to meet the following requirements: Federal refund of $500 or more. At least 18 years old.

How TurboTax’s tax refund advance works

 

Rather than filling out a separate application, you can select a refund advance as your refund option when you e-file with TurboTax.

 

You’ll receive your advance on a prepaid debit card, the Credit Karma Visa Debit Card, which will be mailed to you within five to 10 business days. However, Intuit will also email you your temporary card information within 48 hours of being approved by the IRS.

 

Once your refund is processed by the IRS, the rest of your funds will be deposited into a Credit Karma Money checking account — minus the advance you already received and your tax preparation fee.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the Refund Advance - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refund-advance/L52Mg0G5u_US_e...

 

You can apply for Refund Advance when you choose your refund method. Select File from the left menu (select the menu icon if you’re using the mobile app). When you reach Step 2 Your Refund Info, select Start. You’ll see Refund Advance as an option for receiving your refund. The Credit Karma Money Spend Account Only option does not include a Refund Advance.

If you apply for a Refund Advance, your application will need to be approved by First Century Bank, N.A. before you can receive your advance.

You must completely fill out your tax return, including entering your tax forms (like a W-2 or a 1099), before you can apply for Refund Advance. You can't apply for Refund Advance after you file your taxes.

if you qualify for the advance, it won't happen until the IRS opens e-filing on or about 1/24 and you submit your return and it is accepted
