PATH Act lift date falls on Saturday - When will refunds actually update?
Starting to stress about my tax refund timing. Since the PATH Act lift date lands on a Saturday this year, I'm guessing we won't see any updates until the following Friday. Anyone know for sure how this works with weekend dates?

Tax specialist here - You're partially correct. While the PATH Act restriction lifts on Saturday, the IRS systems typically process major updates on Wednesday nights/Thursday mornings. Most EITC/ACTC filers should see their transcripts update next Thursday, with direct deposits starting to hit accounts the following week. The Saturday date doesn't delay the process - the IRS works on their own schedule regardless.

Exactly! The IRS doesn't wait for the exact PATH date - they prep everything beforehand.

Hey guys instead of checking WMR constantly, I started using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. For $1 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect updates and if there are any issues. Way better than playing detective with transcript codes lol https://taxr.ai
