If you have EIC and/or additional child tax credit included in your refund, the IRS will not begin processing refunds for those returns until Feb. 15. They say not to expect the refund until the week of Feb. 27.

Okay well here's one for you guys I ordered my transcripts from the IRS a couple of weeks ago underneath my old address because I just moved to South Carolina from Georgia and I was able to order them I had to call into Georgia and do an address update with them that was one of the things that was holding my Georgia refund which I still have not received I decided to see if I could reorder my transcripts since I got my transcripts from my old address they're sending me all the mail from there for the next 30 days anyways so went to reorder it because I did not get the 846 code I had the 150 code and some people are reordering their transcripts to see if they got the 846 code I put in my previous address and it would not let me order them so I I put in my new address to here in South Carolina and I could order them don't know how they got my new address because  I had not given it to them yet  and don't know what that means but I'll just have to wait a few days before I get them I'm pretty sure that means that I will have the 846 on my transcripts I was wondering if anybody else had the same experience or if you could tell me what this means if you know thank you

The PATH ACT was the tax law enacted several years ago that prohibits the IRS from sending refunds to filers who have EITC or Additional Child Tax Credit on their tax return until after Feb. 15. This was enacted to reduce the amount of fraud in tax returns with those credits being taken by filers who were not entitled to them. It allows the IRS to compare what is claimed on the tax returns to actual W-2s they receive from employers.  If the IRS sends your refund near Feb. 15, you will probably receive it later in February.
