When Will My $8,660 EIC Refund Process? PATH Act Delay? HOH with 3 Exemptions, $18,495 AGI, Filed Feb 17 with 04-15-2025 Credit Dates

Just checked my transcripts and I'm showing a refund amount of -$8,660.00 (account balance). My transcript clearly shows at the top "ANY MINUS SIGN SHOWN BELOW SIGNIFIES A CREDIT AMOUNT" and lists my ACCOUNT BALANCE as -$8,660.00. I have ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 17, 2025 and ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 17, 2025. My ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount) is shown as -$8,660.00. I filed Head of Household with 3 exemptions (which is clearly indicated in the INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED section where it lists EXEMPTIONS: 03 and FILING STATUS: Head of Household). My AGI was $18,495.00 with $0.00 taxable income (confirmed in transcript showing ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $18,495.00 and TAXABLE INCOME: $0.00). The transcript also shows TAX PER RETURN: $0.00, SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: $0.00, SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: $0.00, and TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: $0.00. I'm claiming EIC and looks like I have code 768 for Earned Income Credit (-$6,900) and code 766 for another credit (-$1,700) both dated 04-15-2025. My return was processed on Feb. 17, 2025 with a tax return filed code 150. The transcript shows RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) as Apr. 15, 20 and PROCESSING DATE as Feb. 17, 20. Under the TRANSACTIONS section, I see: CODE 150 - Tax return filed - CYCLE 20250505 - DATE 02-17-2025 76211-417-65653-5 CODE 766 - Credit to your account - DATE 04-15-2025 - AMOUNT -$1,700 CODE 768 - Earned income credit - DATE 04-15-2025 - AMOUNT -$6,900 I'm wondering if I'm stuck on PATH act? Anyone know how to tell from these transcript codes if I'm on PATH? Getting anxious waiting for my refund of $8,660.00. Do the 04-15-2025 dates for both the credit codes (766 and 768) mean I'm subject to PATH and won't get my refund until mid-February at the earliest?

Your tax transcript shows a total refund of $8,660.00, broken down into two main credits: an Earned Income Credit (code 768) of $6,900 and an additional credit (code 766) of $1,700. As a Head of Household filer with 3 exemptions, your Adjusted Gross Income was $18,495.00 with $0 taxable income, which aligns with qualifying for these credits. The processing code 150 dated 02-17-2025 confirms your return has been processed, and your cycle code 20250505 indicates you're on a weekly processing schedule. Both credits are dated 04-15-2025, which is a standard future date the IRS uses for credit applications. Since you're claiming EIC, your return falls under the PATH Act provisions. However, given that your return was processed on February 17th and we're past the mid-February PATH Act restriction period, you should see movement on your refund soon. There are no penalties or interest accruals showing on your account as of February 17, 2025, which is positive. The system number "76211-417-65653-5" is your unique processing identifier, which can be useful for reference when contacting the IRS about your return.
