If accepted 1/29/18, send to bank date of 2/22/18, IRS says “no EIC refunds will be deposited until after 2/27/18, will my refund be held by SBBT until after 2/27/18?

SBBT does not enforce the PATH act and will process your refund within 1-2 days no matter when the IRS pays it.

Where are you seeing the send to bank date? Is it on TurboTax or is it on Where's my refund?

Yes @CarissaM, the status changed yesterday to approved and gives the send to bank by date. Make sure you’re putting in the actual Federal refund amount and not the Total amount that includes state. I read a lot of people where doing that. Good luck!

I don't believe that the IRS stated the would not release refunds until the 27th. What the said was they would release them mid-month and that they would most likely hit your bank account around the 27th because of President's Day. With that said - as soon as SBBT has it, they send it to your back. If SBBT is showing that they have not received it - then they have not. Once sent to your bank it should show after the process it - could take a day or two. My bank is pretty quick - once the have it, they release the funds. If you have not received it by the 23rd you can call you bank.  By the way it's only the 20th - so relax. 🙂 Hope this helps!

Update: I checked SBBT this morning at 9am est and it shows that they have received my refund and the fees have been deducted. I will update you tomorrow if it's deposited.

Also, the status on "Where's my refund" hasn't changed to sent as of 9am est.Yes

That is not true. The path act is done as of 2/16 that's the final day till those refunds were ok to release. Sbbt cannot issue a refund till irs sends it to them. But they already started releasing path refunds.
