HI ALL,

so i got my irs refund accepted on the 22nd, i thought they were not accepting returns until the 28th??? what exactly does this mean.

i am claiming the child tax credit, which i know can cause a delay in the return

but it already says accepted, does this mean i will get my refund earlier then others

any insight is appreciated

Some small test batches were pulled early. If you are subject to the PATH act you will not get an early refund, despite an early acceptance date.

I guess it all depends cause im claiming ctc and my return was accepted and approved and will be deposited in my account by 1/29/20. I guess im in the early batch which is great. Good luck

Bosrox81 when did you file and when were you accepted? I was accepted on the 22nd and still don't see a DD date anywhere.

Accepted 1/14/20 and approved 1/25/20 and deposit date 1/29/20

The delay is only if you do the additional child tax credit. I claim one child but don’t qualify for the other or Earned Income Credit. I filed a few weeks ago it was accepted within two days and as of yesterday the IRS website says refund will be deposited 1/29/20....I to am confused as everywhere says they won’t start processing until the 27th🤷🏼‍♀️ I am very happy about this but confused

The IRS does a test batch for people without earned income credit or additional child tax credit. I also had the child tax credit but no earned income credit so mine was approved also and I'm getting it on the 29th. If you're lucky enough to get in the test batch you get it early if not you're waiting another week or two

The IRS has not started processing returns as of yet. The IRS will begin processing returns on January 27th. What you are seeing is an estimated acceptance date, which can and do change.

There is no way for TurboTax to know what day your return will get accepted once the IRS begins processing returns. Please click the TurboTax Help link, listed below, to learn more about refunds being accepted.
