PATH Act and Presidents Day Weekend: Why 846 DDD codes won't show up until after Feb 19

Tired of seeing misinformation about PATH Act dates. The 15th falls on a weekend this year which means NO ONE will see 846 codes this week. Not Thursday or Friday. Everyone keeps saying updates will happen Friday but thats wrong. Look at cycle codes 02-04, none have 846 codes yet because PATH hasnt lifted. Updates will start Tuesday-Friday NEXT week after Presidents Day. This happened in 2020 when PATH was on a weekend too - nobody got updates until after Presidents Day and most people got DDD for 2/26.

Finally someone who understands how this works! The PATH Act date is always February 15th, but since it falls on a weekend this year, processing won't start until after Presidents Day (February 19th). All PATH Act returns (mainly those claiming EITC/ACTC) are held until this date. We'll likely see mass updates between February 20-23, with most DDDs falling around February 28th.

hey guys instead of obsessing over transcripts all day, I started using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect updates. Only costs $1 too https://taxr.ai

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?
