IRS Official EITC/ACTC Freeze Release Dates: Feb 15th (Daily Processing) and First Thursday After Feb 15th (Weekly Processing)

I'm tired of seeing incorrect information floating around about EITC and ACTC release dates. Let me set the record straight with the actual IRS procedures for these freezes: The EITC/ACTC freezes have specific systematic release dates that are clearly defined in the IRM. I'm looking directly at the official information that states "The C- - freezes systemically release on February 15th for modules processed daily, and on the first Thursday after February 15th for modules processed weekly. If February 15th falls on a Thursday, both daily and weekly modules systemically release on the 15th." There's also an important exception that's explicitly mentioned: "If February 15th falls on a weekend, modules processed daily systemically release on the following business day." You can verify module processing by checking the upper right corner on Command Code (CC) IMFOL. This is all outlined in IRM 21.4.1.4, Refund Inquiry Response Procedures, and IRM 21.4.1.4.2, Return/Refund Located, for more information. The IRS documentation also mentions something about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Sec. 13801, regarding Elective Payment, though that's a separate topic from the EITC/ACTC release dates. I found this information directly on irs.gov, so these are the official systematic release dates according to IRS procedures. Stop spreading misinformation about random dates. Let's stick to the facts and avoid giving people false hope about getting their refunds earlier than these established dates.
