Except that green dot doesn’t actually deny. The notice just came from then when explaining the issuing of the card. First Century makes the decision and they send the letter, but it takes up to 30 days. Which is not clearly stated on turbo’s website. My initial complaint here or question really was to try to understand if the green dot email - that was extremely vague was the denial because turbo does not clearly explain the process.
I can’t speak for everyone else who has issues with this tax advance but I am not stupid. So no I did not try to take two or more advances on a single return and my credit is excellent.
Again, issue is the frustration in not knowing and the lack of actual help from any of the parties involved.
I attempted to get the advance this year because turbo tax was advertising it. Thought why not ehh, then I receive a vague email before the IRS has even accepted my taxes and turned to this forum to see if anyone had any idea how it all worked.
No one does and that is the issue.
I’ll find out when I do receive my actual email from First Century and at this point it doesn’t even matter clearly. Just frustrated, along with more than half of these forum posters, on the lack of information surrounding the advance. It is vague and NO ONE knows anything more than the vague info on the sites.
Also stuck with a green dot card - that in and of itself has a review of problems. So I’m not a happy customer.
Next year I will just file my return regularly as I always have and avoid all of this. Hopefully turbo will take into account the level of inaccuracies in their information and update accordingly for those who do need the advance.
