So I was wanting to get a small advance towards my refund. Could someone PLEASE HELP me in obtaining a small loan

I did not see the option at the time to opt in for the advance. Can someone please assist me on obtaining a small advance towards my refund as it would be very helpful. Thank you

Sorry--if you already e-filed it is too late.

TurboTax offers an option for a refund advance prior to e-filing your return.  You will select the refund advance during the checkout process before you e-file.  You'll receive your advance once approved for the refund advance and the IRS accepts the return.  Here are the steps to file for the refund advance, provided by TurboTax:

 

  • During checkout choose refund advance as your tax return option
  • Open a checking account through Credit Karma in TurboTax
  • Once the IRS processes the return the remainder of you refund minus the refund advance will be deposited to your Credit Karma checking account.
