2024 Return Accepted but IRS Shows Non-Filing Status - PATH Act Question

This is completely normal for PATH Act claims. The IRS won't even begin processing PATH Act returns until mid-February. Your return is in queue but won't show on transcripts until processing actually begins. Just because it was accepted doesn't mean processing has started - acceptance just means it passed initial format checks.

Hey, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund status and it's been super helpful. It costs a buck but totally worth it - you upload your transcript and it tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself. https://taxr.ai

lol welcome to the waiting game fam. PATH act got us all in timeout till February 15th 🤡

Its def normal. I filed last year same time and didnt see any movement till after valentines day. The PATH act is basically the IRS putting us in detention for claiming credits smh

Protip: Stop checking WMR every 5 mins, it'll drive u crazy. Set a reminder for Feb 15 and forget about it till then

Just to give you the full picture: The PATH Act was created to prevent fraud with refundable credits like EITC and CTC. They hold ALL returns claiming these credits until mid-February to verify income/eligibility. Your transcripts will update automatically once processing starts. Use this time to double-check that you have all your income docs correct because any mismatches will cause delays after the hold lifts.
