If i filed injured spouse form and still got offered a refund advance of 1000.00 whats the chances that i will get that advance after i have been accepted?

Every time i check it says its pending probably due to the irs not accepting them until after the 28th but i have read that with the injured spouse form i will have to wait up until 11 weeks after the form is accepted.  so what i am asking is even tho i have filed injured spouse turbo tax offered me a 1000 on a refund advance is that real and i can receive that 48 hours after being accepted or will i be disappointed when i have to wait the additional 11 weeks?

We can't really tell you that. After your return is accepted by the IRS, your application will get sent to the lender for underwriting.  We don't know exactly what that means or what the bank will do; I think I read that they don't do a credit report, but I don't know what they will be looking for to determine if you are a good loan risk or not.  So we really can't tell you your chances of being approved.

One amusing thing is, if you are approved, the terms of service have no provisions to take back the money if your refund is not paid.  In other words, if your entire refund was canceled or offset, there appears to be no way for the bank to get back their money from you.

Did this work for you last year? In the same situation and unsure if I’d be able to even get the advance.
