What does it mean if sbtpg have the path act message?

[NicoleJLO]

The PATH message is for those that claimed Earned Income and Additional Child Tax credits on their returns. By law, the IRS cannot issue refunds for people claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February 2018.
