IRS Code 152 and PATH Act hold - need help understanding my transcript codes

I checked my transcript today and saw code 152. Also heard something about PATH but idk what any of this means. Can someone explain what these mean and how long I'll be waiting? Filed my taxes on Jan 29th with EITC.

Geoff Richards

Tax pro here. Code 152 is just a reference number meaning your return is being processed. As for PATH, if you claimed Earned Income Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), the IRS cant release your refund before mid-February due to the PATH Act. This law helps prevent fraud. The earliest PATH Act refunds hit bank accounts around Feb 27th typically.

100% works! It caught a delay on my transcript I would've never noticed and told me exactly when I'd get paid. The AI explains everything in normal english too lol
