Question

Direct Deposit Dates for People with Credits (EIC/ACTC)

This is a thread for those WITH credits who wish to start discussing or posting anticipated DDDs. Please do not respond with wikipedia copy and paste/irs.gov info about the PATH act or anything similar. We understand that they are held.

However, in previous years, I have found I usually get mine around the 20th of February. Not the beginning of March. Obviously, the IRS gives itself wiggle room, so tells people to expect refunds with credits at the beginning of March.

Please just state that you claimed a credit or credits and when your Where's my Refund status changed and the date of your projected DDD. Or, state if you're still waiting for a status change.

If we don't put useless info that anyone can find on Google on here, then people can easily find what they're looking for; which is if any filers with credits have a DDD yet. Thanks.

@Gizzi7 @You should have a refund date of 2/26. Your funds should have already been sent to your back. The IRS site is just saying if it’s not deposited by the 2nd to contact them that all. You should have it soon enough.

After a third call to the IRS finally get a straight answer. I filed on 2/1/20 it wasn't accepted until 2/4/20 despite the fact that Tubo said accepted on 2/1. Now they are just starting to look at my wages and w-2s. Guess they are hoping to find something wrong so they can audit.

The IRS issues most refunds in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. If it has been more than 21 days since your return was accepted, you can call the IRS directly to check on your refund status.

@Nasa210 If you were showing Tax Topic 152 simply means your return is still in the processing stage and topics and bars disappearing mean the process is moving along.

The general timeline of e-filed returns is: Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

The IRS started processing returns later than in prior years and as such has a backlog to work through. They also just recently started processing returns claiming EIC and/or ACTC.

During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts.

If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.

Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent. At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date.

Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act

Unfortunately that’s not entirely accurate info. I’ve been accepted since 01/31, I’ve had the accepted bar on WMR with tax topic 152 since I was accepted. I received a letter from the IRS this past Saturday, Feb 29 and WMR still has one bar says it’s processing with tax topic 152.

I have not received mine yet. I haven't even got a date yet. I was accepted January 31.

Since your tax refund is taking longer than the typical 21 days to receive, see this FAQ regarding What to do if it's been over 21 days.

Keep in mind, in an attempt to protect individual tax filers, the IRS enacted the PATH act. This may be causing a slight delay for many tax filers. See this FAQ for more information regarding Where's my Refund.
