The loan request is not sent to the lender until after your return is accepted by the IRS.  So in your case, if the return was rejected, and then you were not offered the loan again when you re-submitted the return that was accepted, you won't be getting it.

I want to try and get a loan

[Opus 17 · Accepted solution]

No.

Turbotax is offering cash advances of $250, $500, or $1000, depending on your refund, to customers who qualify.  The program is a test, and is only available in 15 states, only available for limited dates, only available for users of Turbotax Online, and you must meet other requirements.  If you qualify, you will be offered the option at checkout.

If you already transmitted your return, and were not offered the cash advance when you checked out, then you don't qualify for the cash advance program, and there are no other refund loan options through Turbotax.

First, your return must be accepted by the IRS.  If it was rejected or is pending, the advance hasn't been processed yet.

Then, your advance request goes to the underwriting bank, which may accept or decline, you should receive an email either way.

"You will receive an email with instructions on how to create your online account. Once your online account is set up, you will receive temporary card information that you can use to spend online. You should receive a physical card in the mail within 5-10 business days after the IRS accepts your return."

Check your emails to make sure your return was accepted and look for an email about the advance. Make sure the emails are not going to a spam filter.

It was rejected 4 times because I had the AIG wrong I fixed it and it was accepted on 1/31 at 7:04 pm. I haven't received an email about the advance but I've already received my temp card and set up my account. I've been told repeatedly if I got the temp card it's on there but it's not. My balance is 0.00. I'm depending on this money to keep my water and electric on. Not because I want to spend money. I couldn't even feed my kids dinner last night because I haven't gotten this money. How would you feel.

[Opus 17]

Is it possible you requested a debit card but not the refund transfer during the resubmissions?  (Did the refund advance come off by accident?)

At this point it has only been full business day since your return was accepted.  The only thing I can suggest is to call the bank or call turbotax customer support to check on the status.  This forum is not official customer support and we can't see your files.

I got offered the refund advance but i havent received anything from turbo tax! Other ppl got theres within 24 hrs. This is bs. Next yr i want use turbo tax ! They have prigram issues with this!

[wilsonshannon575]

Me too. Got approved and then nothing for 5 days now. Complete bs if u ask me

wilsonshannon575,  so you reported the wrong income 4 times and wonder why you are having an issue with getting money ADVANCED to you? You will probably get audited now anyway.  How would I feel? Stupid for banking on the government returning funds they stole from you in the first place.

dkamluv, I highly doubt anyone got anything other than anxious within 24hours of filing.  With only 11 more days of guaranteed government,  Im sure nobody is dragging their feet about filing this year. I hope you use some of that refund money on grammar lessons, maybe some hooked on phonics.

TurboTax does not offer nor has ever offered any type of Refund Anticipation Loan.

I am not a TT employee.  They are looking into this possibly for next year.  Was this helpful?
