PATH Act: Filed Early but Still Waiting for WMR to Show Bars - Anyone Else Have PATH Message?
Filed my taxes last week and WMR still shows the PATH message. I'm getting anxious because I need this money ASAP. I claimed EITC but my return is pretty simple and straightforward. Anyone else stuck on this message without bars showing up?

went ahead and ran my stuff through taxr.ai cause i was tired of guessing. turns out my return has both PATH and a 570 code that's gonna delay things even after PATH lifts smh. but at least now i know exactly what's happening instead of being in the dark

Just to explain what's going on with PATH Act delays - it's standard procedure for returns claiming EITC/ACTC to be held until mid-February. Even if you filed super early, the IRS legally cannot release these refunds before February 15th. The good news is most PATH Act returns start processing right after that date. I've been helping folks thru this for years, and the best thing you can do is use tools to understand exactly where your return stands and what dates to expect. I highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your transcripts and gives you precise timing predictions specific to your situation. It'll tell you if there are any other holds besides PATH that might affect your refund timeline.

Tax pro here - this is totally normal during PATH Act period. The IRS cant release EITC refunds before mid-February by law. Even if you filed early, youll be waiting until at least Feb 15th. The bars disappearing is actually a good sign - means your return is being processed.
