@angelmanuellopez @josiaho0122  Can probably order your transcripts now. Last two years when I got the path message on myy WMR I ordered my Transcripts and it showed it was done processing and what not. I did the same on 2/1 when mine updated to the Path. Last two years I always got my refund on the 22nd. Just a little ridiculous to wait so long. I remember Pre-path act I got mine beginning  of the second week of February. Oh well

@Mommyof3 If you claimed EIC and child tax credits then you are stuck with the rest of us Path Act people. Did you get EIC and child tax credits last year? Because the Pact Act started in 2016 for the 2015 tax year. I wouldn't stress to much though on the 27th IRS sends the money via ACH and most big banks have no hold times on the funds. When the IRS sends mine on the 22nd I get it that day. They say the 27th to give a little leeway time incase some banks do place holds on the funds but really no banks now a days hold funds from ACH transders. It's like getting your paycheck direct deposited.

@caron1981 thank you for responding. I have never gotten EIC or ACTC before and this year I got the ACTC I guess. Didn’t know for sure till I got the PATH message and checked my tax forms and spoke to TURBO to. They said I gotten it this even though never did prior and it cause the child tax credit changes. They said a lot of people will be getting the ACTC this year that never gotten before. I suppose it’s good but same time it stress me cause I do alway count on the first week of February since it has been that way for 8 years. I just never dealt with the wait and I have always felt bad for ones that had to

I got my path message a couple days ago. Does that mean my taxes were accepted and processing? Or will it not process until the 15th? I am really confused

@sheanabennett they are processing...they just can't  release the funds untill after the 15th. More than likely if you had a simple 1040 return its done processing and sitting in limbo until after the 15th. You get the path message when the computer recognizes you have eic and child tax and thats whem your return in done processing. Just wait till the 16th they update WMR on that date.

I also recieved tax topic152. Along with path message. So to clarify that means i am approved but the funds cant be released yet?

@sheanabennett  I think we get that Topic 152 along with it the path message from what I noticed cause I click on it and explained this path act. I pray for everyone to get their the week of the 15th after the lift. I don’t want anyone having to wait any longer then should. I do know I had offset couple years ago and I still received my refund early February.

Does everyone claiming EITC get the PATH message and then tax topic 152?

@renee744 yes. Everyone gets it. And the people that i know for sure get the credit every year have the same message. Im just hoping our monies get released or are they just going to start processing. Smh

@renee744  Yes anyone that has EIC and extra child tax credit will get the path message and topic 152 on wmr. It should start updating on the 16th. Last two yeats with the path act message my wmr went to path act message back to processing message on the 16th then on the 17th i got a deposit date if the 22nd of february. Hang tight 6 more days. If you get the processing message on February 16th then you are good to go. I got my last refunds in the 22nd of Feb with no hiccups.

@caron1981 so they will just start processing? I was told that maybe someone used a dependant of mine. I have had topic 152 for awhile. Is there a possibility my return could be rejected still? Im not sure if its true or not. But i dont want to accuse someone

@sheanabennett if your return would got rejected you would of been notified right as they received it. I have had mine rejected before and within that day I was able to correct and send again. So no worries also 99% of the time if there is a error they just correct it and send the refund difference if any. Don’t worry ok things are good and your gonna be ok. Only thing that can delay is offset which that’s not much either a day if that or a audit which again won’t affect you. Some wmr don’t change cause it could be just a glitch since billions of us are on it 24/7 no matter what lol so it can delay the process of updating
