My Where's My Refund has been saying delayed beyond normal timeframe for months now. Starting to lose hope. Anyone who had this message last year eventually get their refund? How long did it take? Just trying to figure out if I should keep waiting or do something else.

Filed my taxes and just got the PATH Act message on IRS2Go app. I can see on my refund status that it's been "Received" but not yet "Approved" or "Sent". I'm getting this detailed message about the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act since I claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit. According to the IRS2Go app, "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." They're also saying "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." The app specifically directed me to "Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" for more details about my situation. There's also a note that says "For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit the Refunds page on IRS.gov. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." At least it's moving faster this year compared to last. I checked the app today at 5:11 and can clearly see my return has been "Received" but is still waiting on the "Approved" and "Sent" statuses to be updated. Really need this refund to get a car. Anyone else seeing the PATH Act message on IRS2Go with the same detailed explanation about mid-February? When should I expect my money, since they're specifically saying not before mid-February? Been checking the Refunds page on IRS.gov too, but getting the same info.

My transcript just updated with a 2024 section under account transcripts but nothing is showing under record of account transcripts. The as of date changed to Feb 26th. Does this mean anything or am I getting excited over nothing?

Been a stay at home mom for 1.5 years with no income. My boyfriend and I live together, we have one child together and he's been raising my other 2 kids since they were babies. I usually claim them on taxes but since I didn't work this year, can he claim all 3 kids? He provides most of the financial support for our household.

Checked my transcripts this morning hoping to see movement but still nothing. Been checking every Thursday and Friday since February. Anyone else on cycle 05 see any updates today?
