Hi!   I have the same inquiries (almost exactly the same as the previous poster) just a year later.   I was in the US since 2023 and left on June 29th 2025, I had my work permit for the entire time until I moved to Spain. I stoped working at the end of may 2025 with my employer and then moved countries. I see you asked something regarding taking any steps to inform US Immigration that I left the country and I don't believe I did? would that be an issue?   How would I have to file for part-year resident alien? I have both W-2 and 1099-NEC.

Not everyone is presented the opportunity to get a Refund Advance.  To see if you are eligible for the Refund Advance you have to decline the two "5 day early refund options" when those are presented by clicking NO THANKS there. If you've passed that screen, you would have to go back to the Refund options page, which may show all the options now.  If you go back to refund options and all the options are not shown, see if you can scroll down to small text "Other options."     See this more detailed answer by TurboTax Expert  @CatinaT1  in this other thread, which also lists eligibility requirements: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/is-clicking-the-refund-advance-option-working-for-anyone/00/3739322

It seriously erodes credibility when the company consistently and regularly misses date commitments seemingly without a care in the world.
