Hello!
I was just wanting to post for general knowledge. I claim a child on my tax return and just so happened that this year, I filed my return a lot earlier than I normally would. This resulted in my return being accepted by the IRS on January 18th (6 days before the start of tax season) into what is called a test batch. Keep in mind, my return is pretty straightforward as it is literally one W-2 and then the CTC and EITC. That's it. That being said, I have closely monitored my taxes the past couple of years to simply learn the process better. This is the only time I made it in a test batch and I was showing as processing for several days as it made its way through but today my status was updated again. Now, when I call or log in on the IRS site now, it tells me that my return is "complete awaiting deposit, but according to the PATH Act...." and so on. I will update this on the 15th if my deposit arrives then or the next day. Like I said, just figured I would post this to hopefully help some better understand the process!
