Home & Business Desktop version - Can't find Refund Advance option

spra8560 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 11:15:57 GMT

I downloaded the Home & Business (Sole Proprietorship) version and ready to file my taxes; however, I am interested in the Tax Refund Advance option but unable to find it anywhere in this version. Does the desktop version allow it and if so, how do I file for that option?

Yes, you can apply for Refund Advance in TurboTax for Desktop when you choose your refund method.

Go the File tab and follow the prompts. When you reach Step 2 Your Refund Info, select Start. You’ll see Refund Advance as an option for receiving your refund.

The Credit Karma Money Spend Account Only option does not include a Refund Advance.

Hello!

I am having the same issue for 2024 software. I have the desktop deluxe version and I am not getting the option or refund advance. However, I do see it online.

Thanks!

The Refund Advance is only available when using the TurboTax online editions.
