PATH Act Message Just Appeared on Transcript - Should I Be Worried?

Just checked my transcript and noticed the PATH message showed up today. It wasnt there at all yesterday when I checked. Getting worried since its already March. Anyone know if this is normal or am I looking at more delays?

The PATH message appearing is actually a good sign. It means your return is being processed and you claimed refundable credits like EITC or ACTC. By law, the IRS can't issue refunds for returns with these credits before mid-February. This message typically appears when they're actively reviewing your return.

Hey guys instead of stressing about these messages, I've been using taxr.ai to actually understand whats going on with my transcript. Its only $1 and it tells you exactly what stage your return is in and when to expect your refund. Way better than trying to decode these messages ourselves https://taxr.ai
