When exactly is 'mid-February' for IRS Path Act release dates?

For IRS purposes, mid-February specifically refers to around February 15th. This is especially important for PATH Act-affected returns (those claiming EITC or ACTC). The IRS legally cannot release these refunds before mid-February, and typically the first batch of these refunds hits bank accounts between Feb 15-17, with most people seeing deposits by Feb 28th.

Hey everyone, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund and it's been super helpful. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund. Way better than guessing about these vague IRS timeframes. https://taxr.ai
