How does the TurboTax refund Advance work with the child tax credit?

Will I get the advance when the IRS accept my return, or do I have to wait until mid-February to get the advance?

If your return is accepted, you are supposed to get the advance within minutes. Your actual income tax refund will be held until mid-February by the IRS if you are getting additional child tax credit or earned income credit.
