After you file

Everyone effected by the PATH act need to just sit tight ... this is a permanent situation where these returns are not allowed to be processed until at least 2/15 no matter when you sent them and they were accepted for processing.   Refunds for PATH act delays will not go out until sometime after they plow thru the pile that is stacked up ... Refunds expected to be released starting 2/27  so patience will be needed. Many may be delayed in processing sometimes for weeks ... so check your progress once a day on the IRS site.   Word to the wise ... plan for the worse case and hope for the best and do not spend the money until it is in your account.
