After you file

@Lm86 @I've claimed the EITC and ACTC every single year since 2009, and since "The PATH act" was signed into law in 2015, I've had to wait until Feb. 15th for the IRS to even begin processing my return. Every single year since then. If you've never experienced this normal delay before, you couldn't have actually claimed those credits. fyi: The earliest I've received my tax refund since 2015 was Feb. 21st.
