Curious when people with path msg will get deposits?

There isn't a specific date as to when you will be getting your refund if you claimed Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit....however the IRS is holding refunds that were affected by the Path act until 02/15/2017 and it usually takes 21 days from the time you file until the refund is issued.
