After you file

It depends on why the hold was placed.

 

If your hold was due to the PATH act, the hold is lifted around February 15. The PATH act is triggered by claiming the Child Tax Credit and/ or Earned Income Credit.

 

If your hold was due to missing forms like 1095-A the IRS will contact you to correct the return before resuming processing. 

 

Most other holds are lifted in a week or two and the process is automatic.
