PATH Act Question: Can I get Code 846 DD date before PATH lifts?

Tax professional here - Important info about PATH Act and Code 846! The PATH Act prevents the IRS from issuing EITC/ACTC refunds before mid-February. Even if you see a DD date before then, funds won't be released until PATH lifts. This year (2025) PATH officially lifts on February 15th. Your bank may show a pending deposit a few days earlier, but the IRS won't release funds until then. If you're trying to understand your transcript better, I highly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's an AI tool that analyzes your tax docs and gives you specific info about your refund timeline, taking PATH Act into account.

Tax pro here - Yes, you can receive a 846 code with a future DD date before PATH lifts. The IRS processes returns with PATH credits during the holding period, they just cant release funds until after Feb 15th. Your return has probably already been processed and approved.

Hey guys! Instead of stressing over codes and dates, I've been using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It costs $1 but tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Saved me so much time trying to decode everything! https://taxr.ai
