Why don't I see the tax advance loan as an option when I have used it the last couple years

The Refund Advance is not available to everyone. 

Here are a couple things to check:

• If you are using a TurboTax partner affiliate link to use the software, the Refund Advance will not be available.
• If you select the 5 Day Early Refund Delivery, you will not see the Refund Advance option, but you can return to the refund selection page and find all the options listed.

See this resource for more information: 

Offer details and disclosures for the Refund Advance  program

That is because the tax advance option is hidden. Here is how you can get to it.

1. When you get to the point where is asks "Want your federal refund faster" You have to select the blue "No Thanks" button.

2. You should then be redirected to a page where you can select the "Tax refund advance" option.
