Throwing this out there. This year is not the same as the last few years.
Last few years I have always gotten my refund on the 22d like a ton of other people.
However since the 16th ( when the path act is lifted ) is on a Sunday and Monday is Federal Holiday there is going to be another week of delay. Below is straight from the IRS stating most early filers will not get a deposit date on WMR until the 22nd. So if you are use to getting it 3rd of week of February.....welp probably not this year.
They say several days after the 15th because the weekend and presidents day. Lets hope they go back to daily updating when the path act lifts and not this BS weekly on Saturday junk.
Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit may experience a refund hold. According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue these refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the first EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by the first week of March, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. Check Where’s My Refund for your personalized refund date.
WMR on IRS.gov and the IRS2Go app will be updated with projected deposit dates for most early EITC/ACTC refund filers by February 22. So EITC /ACTC filers will not see an update to their refund status for several days after Feb. 15.
The IRS, tax preparers and tax software will not have additional information on refund dates, so Where’s My Refund? remains the best way to check the status of a refund. Where’s My Refund? is only updated once daily, usually overnight, so you don’t need to check the status more often.
