Just checked Where's My Refund and got this message about the PATH Act delaying my refund. Here's exactly what it says: "The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act says that if you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS cannot issue the refund before mid-February. This applies to the entire refund, even the portion not associated with these credits." Then it continues: "You can check the status of your refund on Where's My Refund starting in mid- to late February. The website is updated once a day and is the best way to check the status of your refund." At the bottom, there's a section called "Helpful Information" that references "Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" which apparently relates to my tax situation. I can see on the IRS website that my return was received, but the "Refund Approved" and "Refund Sent" sections are empty with just question marks. I was checking this at 5:58 on the IRS.gov website under Refunds > Refund Status > Results. Getting really nervous since I need this money soon, and it's frustrating that they're holding the ENTIRE refund, not just the credit portions. Anyone else seeing this PATH Act delay message? When did you actually receive your refund if you had EITC or Child Tax Credit? I'm wondering if "mid-February" means the 15th or closer to the end of the month.

Filed my amended return back in March and still nothing on WMR or transcripts except received. Starting to get worried since I heard they're taking forever this year. Anyone actually get their amended return processed with a deposit date?

Been refreshing my transcript all day looking for updates. Anyone else checking tonight? Drop a comment if you see any movement on yours so we can figure out if its updating today.

Really confused about these 05 cycle codes. My transcript is stuck on 05 cycle but my sister (who also has 05) just got her PATH update today. Starting to think theres more to this than just the cycle numbers. Anyone else seeing different results with 05 cycles?

Getting super frustrated trying to access my transcripts on sa.www4.irs.gov. I'm logged into the official United States Government IRS website, and I can see all my available transcripts clearly listed right there on the Tax records / Transcripts page. I can see: 2023 Account Transcript [PDF] 2022 Account Transcript [PDF] 2021 Account Transcript [PDF] 2020 Account Transcript [PDF] There's even a "Show more transcripts" option at the bottom of the list. But every single time I try to open any of these PDFs, I get this error message that says "Could not open the page because the address is invalid." Then I have to click "OK" just to dismiss the error. The transcript page itself has information explaining that the transcripts would show changes made after the original return was filed, such as making estimated tax payments or filing an amended return. That's exactly what I need to see! I'm using LTE connection with 52% signal strength according to my phone, so my internet connection seems fine. It's 12:57 and I've been trying for almost an hour now. This is driving me crazy because these are clearly my available transcripts showing right there on the page, but I can't actually access any of them! Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? Should I try a different browser? Different device? Call the IRS? This is on their official government website and everything (it even has that "An official website of the United States Government" and "Here's how you know" text at the top), but it's just not working.
