How can I get an advance, without receiving my w2 yet?

[Opus 17 · Accepted solution]

TurboTax offers an advance that is paid on a prepaid debit card, but only after you file a completed tax return and that return is accepted by the IRS. It’s basically a bridge loan for the three weeks it takes the IRS to process a regular refund.  Since the IRS is not accepting tax returns yet, and  you can’t file without your W-2, TurboTax does not offer any type of loan that meets your requirements.
