PATH Act: Will 2023 EITC/CTC Refunds Really Come Feb 6th?

Filed my taxes early this year and claimed EITC. My transcript shows 2/6 as estimated deposit date. Anyone think the IRS will actually stick to this date with PATH act or are we looking at more delays? Starting to get nervous since I've been burned before.

Hey everyone - tax pro here with some clarity on PATH Act refunds. The Feb 6th date floating around isn't a guarantee for everyone claiming EITC/CTC. While the IRS can START releasing these refunds then, many factors affect your specific timeline. Your return still needs to clear fraud checks, verification processes, and other review steps. Instead of refreshing WMR constantly, I'd recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your transcripts and get a more accurate timeline. It can tell you exactly where you are in the process and flag any potential holdups.

Same boat fam. PATH act got us all stressin. At least we know its coming eventually 🤷‍♀️

Tax pro here - The PATH Act prevents the IRS from releasing EITC/CTC refunds before Feb 15th, regardless of what WMR shows. They can process returns earlier, but legally cannot release funds before mid-February. Your 2/6 date will likely update to a later date.
