Ok I E-filed and IRS accepted it on the 1/22/20 I thought was wired because they said they was not a accepting until the 27th. I looked at where’s my refund on the 1/25/20 it had one bar said was accepted. On 2/5/20 it went to the PATH act and stayed like that until 2/16/20 Message changed to we received your refund and is processing no bars nothing. My turbo tax says refund expected on 2/12/20 obviously that didn’t happen been way past 21 days. Has anyone else have this problem?

I think you were supposed to wait until the 27th of January to even file

Yes cause I did mines in the 1/28 and it was accepted and I had the 152 message now it’s gone and says processing .. I did my daughters taxes on 1/30 and she got her state on 2/2 and her federal just hit her account today so I’m confused on why I don’t have my federal yet ..last year I got it on the 25th of February

I am experiencing the same problem. I'm so stinkin mad I could scream. I have been waiting since the 20th of January and nothing. I will never use Turbo Tax again and I will talk a lot of crap about them too. I have no idea what is going on and am in a hell of a predicament because of it. Im sure they say its on the IRS but I have a feeling Turbo Tax did something wrong. I hope you get your money ASAP.

Where’s my earned income tax credit (EITC) refund?

Jim Buttonow — February 13, 2020 //

In January, 2020, the IRS reported that tax return refunds which included the earned income tax credit (EITC) would not be sent until around March 2nd, 2020. Early filers would have to wait until that date until they would receive a direct deposit of their expected refund.

On February 13, 2020, the IRS announced that, on February 22nd, it expects to be able to tell taxpayers with EITC refunds when their refund will show up. Translation: the IRS “Where’s my refund?” online tool will have information about the expected date of the refund on February 22nd. The IRS has not changed it’s position that refunds should arrive on or around March 2nd.

As we reported in past posts, we likely can see these refunds show up earlier than March 2nd. Most IRS refunds by direct deposit usually show up within 10 days. EITC filers must wait for their refunds until after February 15th as a result of a law passed in 2015 to delay refunds on EITC amounts. The refund delay helps the IRS stop fraudulent refunds from being issued to identity thieves by allowing the IRS additional time to validate the return.

EITC filers who file in early February and do not get their refund by early March should check “Where’s my refund?” for more information. To use this online tool at IRS.gov, the taxpayer must have their Social Security number, filing status and the exact whole dollar amount of their refund.

If there are delays in the refund, it may be a sign of potential issues with the IRS such as prior EITC discrepancies, prior year tax debt, unfiled returns, or refunds used to pay non-tax debts that are collected through refund offsets. In these cases, the taxpayer will need to contact the IRS for more information about the refund delay or offset.

Yea they're full of it. Love taking their sweet time refunding folks money but if you owe them they're on your back like the white on rice. Even got the nerve to charge late fees and penalties. I have been filing eic now for 10 years straight (daughter is 10) with the same job at the same time with the same direct deposit info. Common sense should tell them it's me...😒

I filed on 1/29 and had one bar until 2/18. Now it just states my refund is being processed and a date will be posted once available BUT...... I checked my TRANSCRIPT, and it has been saying nothing until TODAY on 2/21. It now has a REFUND DATE OF 2/26 on my TRANSCRIPT. Same thing happened last year. It was on my transcript before showing up on the WMR page. SO I will have my money on 2/26 because last year the date it said on my transcript was the day it went into my bank account!! So I HIGHLY recommend checking transcript if your WMR doesn't change.

This was REALLY helpful!!! Thanks! I checked my transcripts after I read your post, and I have code 846 with a DDD of 02/26/20. They must have updated today, because I have been checking my transcripts online everyday. The worry is over! Lol.

Okay so im curious.. Can someone post a link to these sources that are saying EITC claimers will recieve their refund by the 22nd because today is the 21st and i have yet to recieve my refund or a DDD. I was told that WMR would Update the status (with DDD) for EITC claimers by the 22 not that we would get our return. I keep seeing people saying we will receive them by or on the 22nd but the 22nd is a Saturday and banks dont deposit on weekends. So can someone post a link to the article that they found saying we should receive refunds by then. I filed the 22nd of Jan. and was accepted the 25th of Jan even though they didnt open till the 27th which i thought was odd .

It’s on the irs.gov website. Scroll through there and click earned income credit, or refund questions, etc..

OK, so nothing has changed on my WMR, but my transcripts now have a refund date of 2/26! That is definitely the best place to look for updates. Hope this helps someone!
