A 2023 tax return cannot be e-filed at this time so the refund advance request cannot be completed. You need to wait for e-filing to start on 01/04/2024. Then you will need to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your tax return after the IRS opens their system to receiving e-filed returns, sometime in mid to late January.

Refund advance loans are not available from TurboTax at this time. TurboTax’s loan program typically starts in January and ends in mid-February. Your tax return cannot be filed until later in January. One of the options you can select when you are ready to file is to get a refund advance loan, You do not receive any money until your e-file has been accepted by the IRS—-and the IRS will not begin to accept e-files until at least mid to late January.

And…..do not try to prepare a tax return without ALL of your income documents; you must include every 2023 W-2 on the same tax return. Employers have until the end of January to issue W-2’s. Wait until you have all of your W-2’s. Clients, schools, banks and other financial institutions may not have tax documents available until early February. ALL of your tax documents must be entered on the same Form 1040; do not file unless you have entered everything.
