Protip: Stop checking WMR every 5 mins, it'll drive u crazy. Set a reminder for Feb 15 and forget about it till then
easier said than done ๐ญ but ur right
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.
facts ๐ฏ had a w2 mismatch last year and it delayed me till may
the IRS is such a joke fr taking over a year to process returns while charging us penalties for being one day late ๐คก
no lies detected ๐
did you have any offset or garnishments? that usually causes delays
