After you file

They in fact do give advances.  The people on here complaining just dont understand the difference between pre-qualifying and qualifying.  It even prompts you with information that might help you determine the difference.  Thank you turbotax for partnering up with a bank and getting me my 1000$ advance.  Took less than an hour for both federal and state to be accepted as well.  Very pleased with turbotax this year and is another testimony to their hard work.  I havd been a turbo tax customer for the last 12 years and have been happy each and every time i have filed.
