Filed 1/20 w/ EIC &ACTC

[Tammy]

Anyone filed Saturday 1/20. I have EIC &actc . I Only have 1 bar (accepted) and 152 topic

[Tammy]

Updated overnight , says my return is being processed

[Tammy]

Due to the Path law all of those who have credits, our tax return was put on hold until today. The wait is almost over y’all. Expect an update soon

[Tammy]

No update on the wmr website for me but I did call and speak to a CSRshe said the it’s WILL start processing returns today for those who have have EIC OR CTC

[Tammy]

After a week of not being able to view my status , I finally updated overnight. I received the path message that everyone has been talking about.

[Tammy]

No update for me yet

@Cynthialee28

I’d bet my left leg that you’re incorrect. The IRS website states that the delay is for EIC or ACTC. The keyword there is OR. So the delay comes from claiming either one.

I’m thinking your neighbor probably claimed the regular CTC (child tax credit). That’s not the same thing as the ACTC but people keep getting it confused. There’s no delay on the CTC.

[NYMidFam]

Ohhh! That’s aggravating, Cynthia.

Because we only qualify for the EITC because my husband maxed out his 401K, making his qualifying income much lower and even then, the EITC is only $23.

I’d have deleted the EITC from TT’s calculation if I’d known that TWENTY-THREE dollars stood in the way of getting back our refund weeks earlier. (We didn’t qualify for the EITC or ACTC last year and got our refund on 1/30, after filing 1/24.)

[Cynthialee28]

Filed 1/19
Accepted 1/22
Path Act 1/24 ( EITC & ACTC)

My neighbor filed 1/20 was Accepted 1/22 and has a DDD Iof 2/7 but she didn’t qualify for EITC just ACTC she never had path Act ! And she was told
Because it’s for both credits not just one !

@Meechie

First of all learn how to write/type correctly.. I did file the credits jack… You don’t even know what your talking about

[Meechie]

@aksha….you seem and that people are filing for credits they may be entitled to…smdh…stay off the site if it upsets you, if you didn’t file the credits you should be good…yall refunds are not being held!!!

[Tammy]

@tish so far during my process I have not received the path message. I’ve had 1 bar and tax topic 152 up until Saturday.

[Tish]

@tammy – Did you update to the Path message or is it saying. A refund date will be provided when available. My aunt’s updated to the Path message this morning, but mine has been saying a refund date will be provided when available for about a week now.

[sunglaze]

@Tammy I bet if you called back another representative will tell you something totally different.

[Tammy]

Ok my bar and tax topic disappeared Saturday. I called this morning and the IRS rep asked if I had the EIC or dependents and I said yes. She said she could not look up my information because it would only processing not that anything is wrong. She said if you have those credits the irs will not be releasing those funds until after Feb 15 and to check back then if no progress. So don’t panic for those who are in the same situation as I am. We just have to be patient

[Belle]

Just keep trying, I’m sure there’s an explanation for it…there is an upside to everything trust me

Just give it until the afternoon and check 😙

[Tammy]

No

[Belle]

Well that’s total nonsense, has this happened before?

[Tammy]

@belle it’s starting to become frustrating. I had the same 1 bar since and tax topic since the 22nd. Now it’s nothing. When I put my information in and submit it it’s asking me if I put my information correctly and I know I am

[Belle]

Uumm I woke up this morning and my bars are gone 😫😫😫

I filed eitc but last year this happened to me on a Saturday, I actually woke up at 5am that Sunday and had a DDD for 2/23

Idk what’s going on 😐

[Tammy]

Check this morning, all of a sudden my information is gone Even when I call the 800 number there’s no record of my return now. I don’t know what’s going on

[Aksha]

Where’s My Federal Refund?
Note: Since you’re getting the Earned Income Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS can’t process your refund until after February 15, 2018. The earliest the IRS expects refunds to be available is February 27, 2018 (if you chose direct deposit or a debit card).

FYI:

IF YOU FILED BOTH THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE DELAY!!!

[Candy]

@lance if we don’t update to path because no more updates until Feb 15th than what happens if your a weekly. They only put a hold on your funds it doesn’t stop your processing I believe majority is either weekly and will get path in morning and get ddd after 15th or will probably never get path and get the first batch of dd

[Tammy]

@lance I believe you because I filed on the 20th and nothing has changed

[lance]

It says right on wmr for those claiming eic or actc to check back after feb 15, so dont expect an update until then. we all wish we would get an update before then but they say that for a reason and thats because its not going to update until then, period.

[Tammy]

No update for me today. I’m starting to believe that those who filed EIC and child tax credit will not see any progress until later in the month as most have been saying. I’m still at 1 bar and same 152 topic

[bostonq]

File on 1/19/18 accepted next day, and still one bar with Tax Topic 152.. no return transcripts or account transcripts and no update as of this morning

[Tammy]

Still no update for me this morning

[Cali Gurl]

At least you guys are getting approvals. I filed on 1/20 and WMR shows no records of my return. My state refund was approved on 1/29 so expecting a DD any day now. I don’t know why the IRS is showing no records of my federal, but the state refund has already been approved.

[Clubbin’ Gnomes]

My REFUND DROPPED LAST NIGHT at 6:30 p.m. (PST)

I filed w/ TT on 01/18
Received by IRS (one bar on WMR) 01/18
Approved on 01/22
My refund dropped at 6:30 last night (PST)

I paid fees up front. Had direct deposit…

I filed w/ EIC – I have others calling BS on me but I swear, I was in TOTAL shock. I just wanted to offer hope!

It was totally different from last year. I filed w/ TT on 01/12 (I can’t remember exact timeline of acceptance, approval, etc.) and got my refund on 02/22. The only difference was that I paid fees up front this year vs. last year I had them w/held. I feel like I recall SBTG having my fund (per their site) for 2-3 days before it dropped into my account.

If you have questions, let me know!

[Tammy]

I still have no update this morning. I’m still sitting at 1 bar with the topic 152. Can’t wait to see “approved”

[Tammy]

@sunglaze where are you getting that information from

[Tammy]

It would be nice to get that update tonight

[sunglaze]

Some of us will receive an update tonight on WMR. Tonight is one of the nights that they do a major update .

[Tammy]

As of this morning I still have no update. I still have 1 bar and the topic 152

[turtlebug1971]

Don’t feel bad. I filed and was accepted 1/19 and am still sitting at one bar. I ordered transcripts Saturday on a whim. We’ll see what they say when they get here. Hoping I’ve gone back to a daily and will see an update this week.

[Jerrica]

@Tammy I hope you get an update this week. Maybe you’ll update this week, since some updated to PATH and you haven’t.

[Tammy]

I wish I was having progress like Jerrica. Mines is at a standstill

[Jerrica]
