EIC Code Restriction Release Date (Feb 15) - Will Weekend Delay Payment?

Just got off a call with IRS about my EIC restriction code. Rep said restrictions lift on the 15th. Since that falls on a weekend, will that affect the release? Anyone else in the same situation?

Esteban Tate

EIC restrictions are system-automated and will lift regardless of weekends. The 15th is the mandatory release date set by PATH Act. Your refund should be processed within 1-2 weeks after the restriction lifts, depending on your bank and processing cycle date.

Yes, some banks might show pending deposits as early as the 13th or 14th!

Hey guys instead of guessing about dates, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund. It costs $1 but its worth it - shows exactly when restrictions lift and predicted deposit dates. Way better than calling IRS or checking WMR constantly https://taxr.ai
