PATH ACT delay is too long - why do we have to wait a whole month for EITC/ACTC refunds? 😫
This PATH Act wait is killing me. I get why they need to verify EITC claims but making people wait a whole month after filing is just too much. Some of us really need that money sooner. Been checking WMR every morning like its my job but still nothing.

The PATH Act delay is actually designed to prevent tax fraud. The IRS needs this time to verify income and eligibility for credits like EITC. While it's frustrating, it helps ensure the right people get their refunds. Most EITC/ACTC filers should see updates around mid-February.

•The system is definitely outdated. The IRS is still using technology from the 1960s for some processes believe it or not 🤦♂️

Hey there! If you want to actually understand what's happening with your refund, check out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your money. It costs $4.99 but its worth every penny. https://taxr.ai

•Super accurate! It reads your actual transcript data and uses AI to break everything down. Way better than playing detective with cycle codes lol

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