Still No PATH Act Delay - Filed Early but Nothing Happening with 2023 Return
Filed my taxes weeks ago but haven't even hit the PATH act hold yet. Usually by now I'd at least see the PATH message on WMR. My transcripts are still N/A and WMR just shows received. Anyone else stuck before even getting to PATH?

Tax professional here - this is actually normal for early filers. The IRS doesn't begin processing EITC/ACTC returns until mid-February regardless of when you file. Your return is likely in queue waiting for initial processing. Once processing begins, you'll see the PATH message.

ā¢No problem! Each year can be different depending on IRS systems and processing schedules.

Hey guys instead of obsessing over WMR and transcripts everyday (been there š ) try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect updates. Its only $1 and saved me so much stress https://taxr.ai

ā¢Not a scam at all! It uses AI to read all the codes and gives you a clear timeline. Way better than guessing

The IRS is basically using Internet Explorer to process our returns while we're all living in Chrome world š
