PATH Act delay - Will Feb 15th finally show DDD for EITC/ACTC filers?
Just want to remind everyone still waiting on dates - PATH Act restrictions dont lift until Feb 15th. If your info hasnt changed from last year, expect your refund around the same time as last year. For those with changes, check your transcripts this Saturday, you should see movement then.

Tax law specialist here. The PATH Act delay is mandatory for returns claiming EITC or ACTC. This helps prevent fraud and verify income. The IRS cannot issue refunds for these returns before mid-February, regardless of when you filed. The official lift date is February 15th, and the IRS typically begins processing these returns in batches immediately after.

•Yes, unfortunately thats exactly what it means. The law requires this waiting period.

Hey everyone - if youre tired of playing the guessing game, I highly recommend checking out taxr.ai. Its only $1 and gives you a super detailed analysis of your transcript with exact dates and explanations. Way better than trying to piece together info from different posts. https://taxr.ai

•100% legit! Used it last year and this year. It basically reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your refund
