When you see an asterisk which is a star* or a tiny number ¹ that means there are details below that correspond with the asterisk symbol. When it says get your refund *up to* 5 days early ¹, you can look below and read "if u choose to pay filing fees or if you applied for an advance you do not qualify for early deposits. When they say you can have your money in as little as 15 minutes, they CLEARLY are referring to the advance on your refund IF you get approved. I filed my taxes, opted to try for the advance. I submitted it. I instantly got a notification that 2,000$ was available in my account. They even send an electronic credit card to use while you wait. I used this to order groceries on Walmart. Com... If your bank isn't compatible to link via plaid to your credit karma, they have another instant transfer option where you send it to literally any debit card. And it charges a tiny percentage to do that. Literally pocket change. I'm sorry but every year I see the same complaint about the advance and the 5 day early refund being a lie or false advertising when the issue isn't with them at all. Reading is fundamental. I would never file taxes with a new company having my money sent into a new bank with this new company and not read all the fine print!? How can people just not see this information?!
