I filed 2/5 and still one bar with tax topic 152 and I have the EIC
The 15th and 16th were the weekend and the 17th was a holiday. They just started looking at them yesterday.
Refunds wont begin to be deposited intil next week. I called the IRS and they told me that a LARGE amount of filers with EIC and dependents will get dates of the 28th and the 2nd. However all articles seem to always say a week longwr than what happens every year. I think they do that to give a little extra time to civer delays. Ive been doing my taxea wkth dependents on turbo tax for 10 years. Since they started this Feb 15th tule, I have gotten my return deposited on yhe 22nd every year since 2016. This year is a little diff because of the 15th being onna holiday. I would guess teturn dares would begin on the 24th.
