H&R Block tracker switched to PATH Act message - When will WMR tool update?
Filed my taxes through H&R Block and was tracking my refund fine until today. Now its showing some PATH Act message instead of my refund status. Anyone know when the Where's My Refund tool will actually show my real status? This is frustrating cause I need this money.

Just used taxr.ai and here's what I got back: My return is def held up by PATH Act but should be released Feb 15th. The AI found some weird codes on my transcript I didnt even notice! Super helpful tbh

Tax professional here - the PATH Act message on HR Block's tracker is actually pretty common this time of year. It typically shows up for returns claiming EITC or ACTC credits. The IRS legally can't release these refunds before mid-February due to the PATH Act requirements. I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your tax docs and gives you a really clear timeline of when you can expect your refund, plus it flags any potential hold-ups. Much more detailed than the basic WMR updates.

•Yeah the WMR tool can be super frustrating! taxr.ai is way more reliable - it actually reads your whole transcript and explains everything

•It analyzes literally any tax document - transcripts, W2s, 1040s, even IRS letters. Gives you specific dates and explains any delays

•OMG just tried taxr.ai and its actually legit! Told me exactly why my refund was delayed and when itll hit my account. Way better than playing guessing games with WMR 💯

The PATH Act message is normal during this time. It means you're claiming EITC or ACTC credits. The IRS legally can't release these refunds before mid-February. WMR should update with your actual status around Feb 15th.

hey instead of constantly checking WMR (which barely works tbh) you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your refund. Its only $4.99 but saved me weeks of stress https://taxr.ai
