How do you apply for the refund advance without a w2 form?

[DoninGA]

You cannot apply for an Advance on a 2019 tax refund at this time.  

See this TurboTax support FAQ for an Advance - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/refunds/help/about-refund-advance/01/27333

TurboTax will be offering a refund advance loan —but not until January.  And you do not get the money until the e-file has been ACCEPTED by the IRS.You also have to agree to receive your refund on the prepaid TurboTax Visa.
