I want to know why the IRS considers February 27th mid-month, to me mid-month would be the 14-17. Idk what kinda calendar they have there lol.

RIGHT?!?! I mean that’s end of the month even for a 30+ day month so their logic is really confusing

I do not have an exact answer for that but I would assume the 15th being mid-February.

A link posted above states direct deposit should be available by Feb 22.

@Jason-3477 Are you referring to returns that contain the Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit?

If so, from the IRS Refund Timing page, the IRS expects the first EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by the first week of March, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. Where’s My Refund? will be updated with projected deposit dates for most early EITC/ACTC refund filers by February 22. So EITC /ACTC filers will not see an update to their refund status for several days after Feb. 15.
Please see the below TurboTax FAQ for more information on the Path Act:

Because they are issued 14-17th, but are accounting for the time it takes for them to actually be delivered (I think they say 2 weeks if it’s a check by mail). So that would check out. I’m just hoping that direct deposit will still be ACTUAL mid-Feb

They keep saying Mid-February, which technically is the 14th. Then they say up to 21 days after you file. If you file the day they start accepting them, and they still make you wait until Mid- February (according to my idea of mid month), you're actually waiting (I Googled the answer, don't judge me) is 21 days. So here I am the 15th, and yes it's only day 22, but I need/want my money!! I don't give us a time frame if you can't stick to it. Then don't even bother calling the IRS with questions. You will not get an answer. I called just to see why my 'Where's My Refund' was working perfectly, and then just stopped. It started to say my information was incorrect. (Yes I did it right, because I tried over and over- just in case there was a typo).

Moral of story= IRS sucks

Although it typically takes 21 days it sometimes can take longer. More details on why your refund may be taking longer has been provided by clicking here.

I get my taxes every single year on February 14. This is because I have earned income credit, typically abbreviated as EIC. One year I got it on the 15th because I filed later than usual. Anytime I file between January 22 through January 28, my return always comes on Valentine’s Day give or take literally just one day.

This year I filed earlier than usual. I filed January 22nd , my federal was accepted January 23. When I check my refund status it tells me to check back Mid- late February for an updated status.

but on turbo tax my green line is complete also it says that my refund has been accepted and it’s on its way…. What is considered mid February? I’d say the 14 which would be today technically speaking.. but I have no updates.

I really need my money I’m hoping it’s coming this week hopefully before the weekend because I E FILED

@Joli_creole97

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2022 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

To track your state refund:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901548-why-do-some-refunds-take-longer-than-others

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2724106-my-return-is-accepted-but-still-not-approved-is-there-a-problem-should-i-be-worried

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait. It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns. Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act. Do not expect your refund earlier than late February.

I filed electronically, turbo tax says ev everything is accepted and a refund has been issued.
I am aware of the PATHS act , the IRS stated that they aren’t allowed to issue any refunds before mid February due to the PATH act. If I receive my money late February that’s a month for me , since I filed the 22 of January.

Also I bank with chime, they stated I’d be able to get my refund up to 5 days earlier if I do via direct deposit in which I did.

hopefully by tomorrow (feb 15) I’ll be able to check the IRS website for an updated status.
