If I choose my own personal account to have my refund deposited into am I still eligible for the advance loan?

I want to use my personal bank account for my refund. Am I still eligible for the refund advance when I use my own bank account and not credit karma?

No, you cannot get an advance unless you use Credit Karma for it.

In order to apply for the Refund Advance, you do have to open a checking account with Credit Karma Money.  For more information about the Refund Advance process, please see this TurboTax help article: What's Refund Advance?

@Jnunnally That is not an option.  You would have needed to choose direct deposit (into your bank account) as the refund method when you submitted your tax return.
