You will receive an email if you are approved or denied for the refund advance.  Here are a few reasons why you may not qualify for the refund advance:

 

  • You’re 18 or older
  • Your expected federal refund amount is $500 or more
  • You’re not a resident of North Carolina, Connecticut, or Illinois
  • You’re e-filing your federal tax return with TurboTax
  • Your physical address is listed on your tax return. Your address must be located in one of the eligible states and can’t be a PO box or prison address
  • You’re not filing one of these tax forms: 1310, 4852, 4684, 4868, 1040SS, 1040PR, 1040X, 8888, or 8862
  • You aren’t filing on behalf of a deceased taxpayer
  • You must report income on a Form W-2, 1099-R, or Sched C
  • You must open or have an existing Credit Karma MoneyTM checking account.

What happened to me is I had an unknown offset. I didn’t not receive an email or any notification I had to investigate myself and apparently I had a student loan offset.  Which is why I did not receive an advance this year. Hope this helps!
