Filed Jan 31st with early access - No transcript updates & not showing on PATH
Filed my taxes on January 31st and paid extra for that 5-day early access filing. My transcripts still haven't updated and I'm not even showing up under PATH. Starting to worry since its been over a week now. Anyone else experiencing this? The money would really help right now.

The 5-day early filing doesn't actually speed up IRS processing - it just means your return gets transmitted to the IRS earlier. Your return likely hasn't been processed yet because the IRS just started accepting returns on January 29th. Give it another week or two for transcripts to update. PATH usually doesn't show activity until early-mid February.

•Yeah those tax places can be misleading sometimes. They just want that $$ for the early filing fee 🙄

Hey instead of checking everyday and stressing, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and saved me so much anxiety last year. https://taxr.ai

•100% works! It uses AI to read all the codes and dates. Way better than trying to figure it out yourself

•PATH is for people claiming earned income credit. IRS holds those returns until mid feb to prevent fraud
