†Offer details and disclosures for the Refund Advance program

• If you’re receiving a federal refund, you could be eligible for a Refund Advance on a Turbo® Visa® Debit Card issued by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC. If approved, you will receive a virtual card for online use, which will arrive within a day of the IRS accepting your e-filed federal return. Use your virtual card until you activate your physical Turbo® Visa® Debit Card, which will arrive in 5 to 10 business days of IRS acceptance and loan approval. Your virtual card expires in four years or upon activating your physical Turbo® Visa® Debit Card. 0% APR & $0 loan fees. This offer is available until February 8, 2021, or until available funds have been exhausted, whichever comes first. Availability subject to change without further notice.
  
  
• Refund Advance is a loan based upon your anticipated refund (excluding any Recovery Rebate Credit) and is not the refund itself. To apply for the Refund Advance, you must file your taxes with TurboTax. Availability of the Refund Advance is subject to satisfaction of identity verification, certain security requirements, eligibility criteria, and underwriting standards. Refund Advance is provided by First Century Bank, N.A., Member FDIC, not affiliated with Intuit or Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC.
  
  
• Separate fees apply if you choose to pay with your federal refund. Paying with your federal refund is not required for the Refund Advance loan.

Your loan amount will be based on a portion of your anticipated federal refund. You will not receive a final decision of whether you are approved for the loan until after you file your taxes. Loan repayment is deducted from your federal tax refund and reduces the subsequent refund amount paid directly to you.
  
  
• Fees may apply for other products and services.
  
  
• Your loan proceeds will be available on a Turbo® Visa® Debit Card issued by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc.

Yes it said I was approved of 2000 dollars I haven’t received anything and that was Friday 

[VolvoGirl]

Even though Turbo Tax approved it they don't send it to you until the IRS Accepts your tax return which won't be until the IRS starts taking returns on Feb 12.  Sorry you have to keep waiting.  

[khlia23]

Is there anyway I  can cancel my taxes through turbo tax because my sister was approved just like I was an she had money to spend and that was after I filed so how in the hell i cant

[xmasbaby0]

If you already e-filed a tax return it cannot be cancelled.  Your return is sitting in pending and you have to wait.   If you attempt to e-file from somewhere else, the return will be rejected.  You cannot e-file twice.

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending.

The IRS will not be accepting/rejecting 2020 returns until Friday, February 12, 2021.  You need to watch your emails for the acceptance/rejection notice that may take until the end of the month to arrive in your inbox.  And watch your spam folder too.

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

A state return cannot be accepted until the federal return has been accepted.

@khlia23 

If your sister was pulled and accepted in one of the test batches then she could have gotten the advance already.   Not all early filers will be pulled in a test batch so until your return is accepted for processing the advance will not be released ... read the fine print posted in the other answer in this thread.

That has nothing to do with a [removed] advance I’m highly upset because I was approved
