The whole system is rigged against low income parents tbh. Like how u supposed to get credits when ur home taking care of kids š¤”
Maybe try filing with H&R Block instead? Sometimes different software gives different results
nah fam its gonna be the same. its not the software its the rules š

tbh you should talk to ur spouse first... like how did this even happen? might be other things u need to coordinate on
we already talked, just miscommunication. were fixing it

Friendly reminder to everyone: always coordinate with your spouse/ex before filing! Its literally the first thing ur supposed to do smh
easier said than done when ur ex blocks u on everything š¤

Check your transcript line by line. Sometimes theres hidden codes that explain why. Had similar issue last year and found out it was bc of a previous claim that wasnt showing on the surface
how do you even read those transcripts? its like trying to decode alien language fr

Been checking my transcript every morning and its still showing March 15. no movement at all. getting really frustrated cause i need this money like yesterday. anyone else stuck on the same date or know whats going on? I'm seeing the following message on the Refund Status Results page: Return Received: ? Refund Approved: ? Refund Sent: ? 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. 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. There's also some "Helpful Information" section that mentions: Tax Topic 152, Refund Information And then it says: "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." I filed for Tax Year 2024 according to what it shows. I've been checking sa.www4.irs.gov but nothing is changing. I claimed EITC and ACTC this year and I know there's usually a delay because of the PATH Act, but mid-February has come and gone! It's now showing March 15 on my transcript with no updates. Anyone else dealing with this delay? I'm really counting on this money.
I was stuck there for 2 months then randomly got my deposit last week. hang in there
this gives me hope fr
