You’ll receive your Refund Advance within 48 hours of the IRS accepting your e-filed return. This differs from 48 hours from when you e-filed your taxes through TurboTax or selected that you wanted Refund Advance. The IRS begins processing and accepting e-filed returns  on and after January 27.

    I completed my taxes yesterday.  I was approved for the refund advance loan. I recieved the email information with the temporary card info. Also, I set up my account online and still I have no funds. Any insight? It says 1 hour funds will be available.

    Typically within 48 hours of the IRS accepting your return.

     

    Once the IRS accepts your e-filed return and if you are eligible and approved for Refund Advance (a 0% APR loan with $0 loan fees) and the Turbo Visa Debit Card, you will first

    get a notice in 1 hour, to set up the account. Once the account is set up the money then hits the account w/in 48 hrs.

      @gloriaj13 Has the IRS accepted your income tax return? TurboTax may have approved you for a Refund Advance but the process will not start until the IRS accepts your return.

       

      TurboTax says: "If approved, your Refund Advance will be deposited into your Credit Karma Money TM Spend (checking) account, typically within 1 hour after the IRS acceptance of your e-filed federal return."

      The phone number for Refund Advance is 1-888-679-8122.
