PATH Act: When is first Direct Deposit Date (DDD) for cycle code 05 filers?

Anyone know when we can expect the first deposit date for PATH Act returns? I got cycle code 05 and wondering if anyone knows when the first wave of refunds usually hits accounts for early filers?

Connor O'Reilly

Tax professional here. The PATH Act delay ends on February 15th. The IRS typically starts processing these returns mid-January, but legally can't release refunds with EITC/ACTC until after Feb 15th. For cycle 05 filers who filed early, you should see deposits starting February 22-24th, assuming no other holds or verification needed.

does this mean we might see our WMR bars move before the 15th? or everything frozen til then

WMR can update before the 15th, but the refund itself won't be released until after PATH lifts 👍

Hey y'all, instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to get super specific dates for my refund. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund and if there are any issues. Way better than trying to piece together random info online. https://taxr.ai

100% legit! Used it last year and it was spot on with my DDD. It even caught a hold on my account I didn't know about
