I apply for a refund advance and it says I got approved but I never received a text or email and the money still hasn’t been deposited. What does that mean?

You missed an important detail about the refund advance. The money is not issued until your e-file has been accepted by the IRS. The IRS will not begin to accept/reject e-files until January 26. Watch your emails to find out sometime on or after 1/26 to see if your e-file was accepted.
