I am so annoyed about this. So yesterday I spoke to an expert and she told me that if you wanted the refund advance, you couldn't have the fees deducted from your return, you had to pay it up front. So I went and paid with the little money I had and it still didn't work! Then all of a sudden I got a message saying my return was processing... I never even transmitted it and it wasn't showing the refund advance. Once again, talk to tt person, she tells me she can see that I have sent it multiple times. She also tells me that I did not have to pay that upfront to receive the advance. Finally, my page updated and I see my return has been accepted and I received my $500 advance already. But it was such a headache. Also I have always received over $1000 for my advance when my refund in the past has been much less than this year. Has anyone else had a crazy low advance? How did I only get $500 but have a huge return? Very disappointed with the new credit karma change. Also if you haven't received your card yet, you can view your card number under debit card settings, add the card to cash app, and get your advance off that way without having to wait.
