Last year TurboTax did offer refund "advances" to some selected customers, but ONLY after the customer has filed their Federal tax return using TurboTax and it was accepted by the IRS. The customer also had to agree to have their refund direct deposited and sent to TurboTax so that the advance could be recovered. It is not known at this time if that will be offered again for 2019 tax returns. If it is, it will not be until January or February 2020 when the IRS starts processing tax returns.
In addition, this was only offered to selected customers and was not something that you could apply for, TurboTax has to offer it to you.
