Cycle Code 02 - Can I Get DDD Before PATH Act Lifts Feb 17?

Tax professional here - With a cycle code 02, your transcript updates weekly (every Thursday night/Friday morning). However, due to the PATH Act, even if your return is processed, the IRS cannot issue refunds for returns claiming EITC/ACTC before mid-February. No direct deposit dates will be issued until after the PATH Act lifts, regardless of your cycle code.

Hey, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund progress and it's been super helpful. It costs $1 but its worth it - gives you a really clear timeline and explains exactly what's happening with your return. The AI reads your transcript and tells you precisely when to expect updates. https://taxr.ai
