*Was told by tax preparer that if PATH ACT got you last year and your dependents don’t change you shouldn’t be held this year. We’ll see.

@lance, I’ve seen you post on most forums. Although I agree with you, I think maybe how you come across is the problem. If people want to hold on to hopes of getting their refund early, let them. If the disappointment comes, lesson learned for them. I just hope everyone who is reading take all advice and “facts” with a grain of salt. Every tax year, situation etc. is different.
Wtbs please everyone update as early as possible tomorrow, its going to be interesting to compare notes!! -
I’m going to share here what I’ve shared elsewhere:
The logic is (and I have been a victim of naivety myself) that those stating they have received a refund claiming the EIC or ACTC must be mistaken. Not intentionally being vindictive…I say this becasue I too was mistaken!
Everyone, I came on here and claimed I had received my refund THIS YEAR on 01/30 and filed WITH the EIC credit (b/c I had the credit last year). After many…including @lance informed me I HAD to be mistaken, I went back and looked at my return…
Sure enough, LINE 35 shows I qualified for the CTC (but I did not qual for ACTC) and LINE 42a is BLANK! I had to come on here (on like 8 different strings) and apologize.
I know we want to believe that those who have the EIC/ACTC credit are getting but until you look at those TWO lines (and in between for the ACTC) or your friends/family show you…they are mistaken.
I only share this, not to shame or accuse people of lying – but because I WAS WRONG MYSELF and LEARNED
Crossing fingers for ALL!
