After you file

There is actually no delay for anyone that falls under the Pact Act aka the returns that claimed EIC, Child Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit. 

In previous years the Path Act delayed the release of refunds until after February 15th when the path act freeze lifted.  

However since the IRS delayed the start date for 2020 to February 12th there is no Pact Act Freeze on those returns claiming those tax credits.  

 

Numerous people have gotten their refunds this week with those tax credits. It's just how fast and where inline your return is at AND if the return was filed correct with no errors. 

 

So no, you are wrong. All you are doing is quoting and or copying and pasting what the IRS has posted on the Q&A section. Really no help.
