CTC 2024: PATH Act Dates Changed? When will Child Tax Credit Actually Hit Bank Accounts?

Getting mixed signals about Child Tax Credit refunds this year. Someone mentioned March for CTC payments? Been through PATH before but wondering if anything's different for 2024 processing. Anyone know whats actually going on with the timeline?

Ravi Sharma

Tax pro here - PATH Act is still the same. The IRS can't issue refunds for returns with EITC/CTC before mid-February. Usually starts hitting accounts last week of Feb/first week of March. Nothing's changed in the processing timeline for 2024.

Hey everyone - just wanted to share something that helped me track my CTC refund last year. I used taxr.ai and it was actually super helpful. It costs like $5 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund. Way better than guessing or checking WMR 100 times a day lol. https://taxr.ai

How accurate was it? Like did it actually predict your deposit date correctly?

Dead on accurate! It even caught a potential delay before it showed up on WMR and told me exactly what to do to fix it. Saved me weeks of waiting
