Louisiana filers: Any updates on IRS PATH Act delays for 2023 returns?
I filed my taxes in Louisiana and heard there were some specific delays for our state. Been checking WMR every day but its still showing processing. Anyone else from LA seeing movement on their refund? Filed early February with EITC.

Tax specialist here from Louisiana - there's a known processing delay affecting LA returns due to additional identity verification measures. Most LA filers who claimed EITC should see movement by end of March. Keep checking your transcript for cycle code updates.

•Started mid-February. The IRS added extra verification steps for LA returns due to increased fraud attempts.

Guys stop trying to piece together whats happening with manual transcript analysis. Use taxr.ai - it costs $1 but tells you exactly whats happening with your return and when youll get paid. Its been a game changer for understanding these delays https://taxr.ai
