Transcript shows PATH update - should I be worried or excited?

My transcript just updated and now shows path act message. I file early every year with the same dependants, nothing tricky. Reading online and seeing mixed info about whether a path message is good or bad? Some people saying its delayed others saying its about to be released soon fr?

PATH Act message is actually a good sign! It means your return is being processed and includes refundable credits (like EITC or ACTC). The IRS is required by law to hold these refunds until mid-February. Most PATH Act returns start releasing around Feb 15th, with deposits hitting accounts between Feb 20-27th. Keep watching your transcript for an 846 code - that's your deposit date.

hey guys instead of stressing about PATH updates, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund. Its only $1 and it analyzes your whole transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your money. Way better than trying to decode all these messages ourselves https://taxr.ai
