I've read that 'Thanks in advance' is not correct as the phrase gives the impression that your request will have to be entertained. In other words, you're expecting a reply from the person you are seeking help from.

Is this correct?

It is a matter of opinion. Some people do not like to see "Thanks in advance" or "TIA", others do not mind. Writing it confers no obligation whatsoever upon the reader or readers.
