After you file

I have the ACTC and as the IRS website stated on February 23rd it gave the update. It went to approved and says it is scheduled to be sent to my bank by February 27th. That is also what the IRS stated.
I too went through the PATH notice and then through the "we have received your refund and it's being processed."
I filed my taxes on the 27th and was accepted on the 28th.
It does take a little bit longer with the additional tax credits that the government is giving. Its extra money.
Dont plan to use your tax refund until you have it in your bank. You should always budget and pay bills just as you normally would. This is "extra" money.  Good luck!!
