After you file

Yes, at least that’s been the case for myself for the past 3 years. I also get a text. But you have to have notifications on. Usually they accepted the return 2 days after you file. But I found out on line 27a, even though I don’t have kids, I got the earned income tax credit, and there’s a law for anti fraud where they cannot send out those refunds before mid or late February. So even though mine has been accepted since Jan 18, I have to wait.
