Mama2Many — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:14:59 GMT

You may also experience delays if you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. Under the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, the IRS is required to hold tax returns for folks who claimed those credits until Feb. 15. If you claimed either of those tax breaks, a PATH Act message may appear when you use the Where’s My Refund? tool.

anhenry546 — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:15:01 GMT

Anyone with EI, CTC, or ACTC by law can not have their refund released until the 15th. So don't expect to see it before then. And it usually takes at least a few days if not a week for the bank to process the DD so add that on. I have read where some say path message means approved and it's just on hold until the 15th (they claimed an irs worker told them that) but I have no idea if it's true. On the irs site it just says path means accepted and after the 15th it will be working on the approved and then deposit day. Luckily unless your return gets pulled most of this stuff is done by computer and is all automated so it doesn't need a person to look over every detail.

There is absolutely no reason to file an early tax return...

DoninGA — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:15:21 GMT

There is absolutely no reason to file an early tax return for 2018.

Filing a tax year 2018 tax return will start after January 1, 2019. However, the IRS will probably not start to accept any 2018 tax return until late January 2019. Due to the tax code changes and the changes to the federal tax forms it would probably be wise to wait until mid to late February to file the 2018 tax return.

The TurboTax software for tax year 2018 will not be available until sometime in either November or December 2018. And the software will need several updates before it can be used to file a tax return. TurboTax has to wait for the IRS to finalize the federal forms and schedules and then must have IRS approval for the forms and schedules included in the TurboTax software.

Addendum 01/04/2019 -

As of this date - The IRS has yet to publish a date in 2019 when they will be accepting any type of 2018 tax return. It is estimated that the IRS will probably not start to accept any 2018 tax return until late January or early February at the earliest. Due to the tax code changes, the changes to the federal tax forms and the partial government shut-down, it would probably be wise to wait until mid to late February to file the 2018 tax return.

You cannot file your tax return using TurboTax until all the forms and schedules included in your tax return have been finalized. Click on the Review tab at the top of the program screen. The forms and schedules will be listed with the estimated date for being available.

Addendum 01/08/2019 -

The IRS has announced that they will be accepting 2018 tax returns starting on January 28, 2019.

IRS announcement - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-confirms-tax-filing-season-to-begin-january-28

If your tax return has a tax refund which includes either the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) the IRS is required to hold the tax refund until mid-February due to the PATH Act passed by Congress. The IRS will release the refund payments during the latter part of February.

xmasbaby0 — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:15:27 GMT

If you went ahead and filed, you return is going to sit in "pending" on a server until January 28, when the IRS starts to accept/reject returns. You will get an email after that telling you if you return was accepted or rejected.

CHRISTIEMSCOTT — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:15:28 GMT

I filed my return just getting it done, thinking it wouldn't do anything until like Feb then I got an alert saying it was accepted by irs. I know that doesnt mean much, but I was surprised they took it early. I do have an ip pin so maybe that helps since it helps verify my identity. Maybe a reason they took it early. Who knows. I will update you when 2nd bar shows up on wmr, but i'm thinking I wont see refund until at least 2/3. And that would be nice and early so that would be great!

ScruffyCurmudge — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:15:29 GMT

As stated in another similar question, please be advised that the IRS, every year, does several test runs on a very limited number of filed returns, usually several weeks before commencement of scheduled processing. This is done to be certain that their systems are performing properly well before the opening of mass processing. Your filing was one of those few accepted for testing. General processing still will not start until January 28, 2019.

mesquitebean — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:15:40 GMT

The WMR tool is not yet fully functional. The IRS won't start processing returns in normal fashion until January 28. Until then, the WMR tool will likely act squirrelly much of the time or may come and go. Many (if not most) filers who were accepted early are getting that same screen and message.
