I don't really have the money this year to pay for out of pocket filing fees (we are down to one income right now) and would like to utilize the "fees paid by refund" option and also get an advance of some of my return so we are able to stay current on rent and bills. I have looked at the options to gain the refund, however there is no option on my end for the return advance. Do I have to bite the bullet and pay out of pocket to file so I can get the refund advance?
The 2024 refund advance has to be offered, it cannot be applied for.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for the refund advance option - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/offer-details-disclosures-refund-advance-program/L4ljXp6TI_US_en_US?uid=m66s61ed
