Is there any way I can still apply for the refund advance although I’ve already filed my taxes with TurboTax?

Unfortunately, you can't apply for the Refund Advance after you file your taxes.

What if I amend(change) my taxes even tho I don’t have anything to fix or add I just missed where I apply for the advance I guess ?

No you can only apply for the advance before you file the original return.

I feel like TurboTax kinda doesn't care about making sure customers get what they need, I tried getting the refund advance 2 years in a row. Both years I had an offset under 50 dollars and it totally ruined my chances of an advance. I'm getting over 5 thousand back and the worst part is that I paid my offset off just so nothing could stop me from getting it and I still didn't get it. My family and I were really needing it bad but I couldn't get any help from anyone. I couldn't even afford paying the 45 dollar offset but I did because I thought for sure I would get the advance. And I definitely wouldn't have gotten premium if I knew I wasn't getting it and I definitely wouldn't be having it put in my credit carma spending account. I was told by TurboTax that it's up to credit carma but it's not, credit carma and the actual bank says it's up to TurboTax to approve us. But I'm probably a last time customer. They literally couldn't even help me with my state return.

This will be the last time I use TurboTax. They tease you with the idea that you'll get an advance but never do you. I met every criteria to be approved and 2 years in a row I am denied. I have been with them for multiple years and also had an existing account with Credit Karma. My return is well over the $500 yet I am denied. I'm done with being let down. What perks do they even offer that I can't get else where? I am very disappointed. I really needed that money right now.

I don't believe there's a refund advance.. they use that as a tactic to get you to file with them and create a credit karma acct, while also depositing your entire refund into a credit karma acct (because who in their right mind would use a credit karma acct otherwise, SMH) i have clicked the link to use TT to file just for the advance, and nowhere at all does it even give you the option to get an advance, i literally didnt see it anywhere while filing.. then afterwards, you google it just to find these answers lol SCAM SCAM SCAM tactic because they know folks need it fast...
