Tax season is so fun.. LoL. Hey let’s clear up something.. NO ONE HAS A WMR UPDATE FOR A DIRECT DEPOSIT CLAIMING EITC/EIC CREDITS.

[Jess1]

The IRS placed what is called a C-FREEZE on ALL tax returns claiming the earned income credit and child tax credits until February 15th. The system will NOT begin updating direct deposit dates until February 15th and later. This goes for TRANSCRIPTS as well.

See Feb 17 updating reference here:

But to clarify, the delay pertains to the EIC and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). The regular Child Tax Credit CTC) is not impacted, since it is nonrefundable.
