Historical pattern shows refund arrives Tuesday after Presidents Day - hoping for Feb 18

Just wanted to share my experience with refund timing. For the past 3 years, my tax refund has consistently hit my account on the Tuesday after Presidents Day. Hoping this pattern holds true this year and I'll see my deposit on February 18th. Anyone else notice timing patterns with their refunds?

The Tuesday after Presidents Day is typically when the IRS begins releasing the first batch of refunds, especially for those who claimed EITC or ACTC. However, this isn't guaranteed for everyone - it depends on when you filed, if there are any verification needs, and your processing cycle date.

Thanks for explaining! I always file early and claim EITC, so that explains my consistency 🤔

Hey guys instead of playing detective with patterns, I started using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. For $1 it tells you exactly when to expect your refund based on your specific situation. Way better than guessing! Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It does wayyy more! It analyzes all your codes, cycle dates, and account history. Then gives you a super specific timeline and explains any delays. Saved me hours of googling fr fr 💯
