First, check to see if you signed up for the TurboTax Refund Advance. You can look in a few specific places in your account or your email.

Check Your TurboTax Order Details

On the Tax Home page, scroll down to the section for "Your tax returns & documents."
Select View Order Details.
Look for "Refund Advance" or "Credit Karma Money" listed under your payment and refund methods.
If it’s not there, you likely selected a standard direct deposit or a different refund option.

Look for Confirmation Emails

If you applied, you should have received automated emails from TurboTax and its partners.

From TurboTax: Search for an email confirming your "Refund Selection."
From Credit Karma: If you were approved, Credit Karma sends an email when the funds are deposited into your Credit Karma Money Spend account.
From WebBank: If your application was denied, you will receive an email from WebBank (the lender) explaining the reason for the decline.

Check Your Credit Karma Money Account

Because the Refund Advance is deposited into a Credit Karma Money™ Spend account, checking that account is the fastest way to see if the loan was processed.

Log in to your Credit Karma account.
Navigate to the Money tab.
If you see a pending or completed deposit for a portion of your refund (typically between $250 and $4,000) shortly after the IRS accepted your return, that is your Refund Advance.

Review Your Tax Return Summary

You can also find clues on your actual tax forms:

Open your 2025 return in TurboTax
Go to the Tax Tools menu on the left
Select Print Center
View your Federal Information Worksheet
Look at the "Direct Deposit" section
If you signed up for the advance, the bank account listed will be the MVB Bank account associated with Credit Karma, rather than your personal bank account.

Apparently I was pre approved from turbo tax for $3500 but denied from web bank and they didn’t send me any email or anything! The only email I have received was an email saying I’d get my advance when the IRS approved my refund. Nothing else. And when I look at my details on filing on turbo tax it says “refund transfer” and nothing about advance. I talked to Credit Karma and the told me turbo tax didn’t finish the advance paperwork. I said was it something I did and they said “no” and turbo tax told me that I was rejected by the bank. Which sucks bc I’ve never had the advance and I really needed it this year!! I checked my return and it only has the routing number and account for Credit Karma and says nothing about mvb bank.
