FIRST BATCH PATHERS ONLY

[LF]

hello,
I filed 1/15 was accepted 1/16
went to 9001 code 1/17
was able to view all transcripts 1/25
and updated to path message 1/26

I have a processing date of 2/11 on my transcripts and they look complete aside from the 846 DDD code.

Can we use this thread to stay updated on our progress?
Was curious if anyones processing date changed from 2/11 because mine hasn’t yet
and if this date doesn’t change we could get our DDDs earlier than expected

:D

[LF]

Hoping they push it out early so we get our money the 15th. But most likely I’m thinking the first deposit will be the 21st for pathers.

I was able to view my transcripts today. I have codes 150, 766, and 768 with a cycle of 0505 process date 2/18/2019. Im a pather tho. Any one have a idea when i should expect a ddd?

[Jamm]

Sorry my other dates are 4-15-2019. Didn’t mean the 2.

[Jamm]

Filed and accepted the 17th. First year on PATH. According to my transcripts I have a cycle code of 20190404. But I don’t believe the codes work with PATH.
My processing date is 2-11-2019.
My other dates with codes is 2-15-2019.

No 846 code of course.

[LF]

well there goes that idea lol

This action is driven by the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act) that was enacted Dec. 18, 2015, and made several changes to the tax law to benefit taxpayers and their families. Section 201 of this new law mandates that no credit or refund for an overpayment for a taxable year shall be made to a taxpayer before Feb. 15 if the taxpayer claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit on the return.

@Pearl well technically Mid Feb can be a range of dates like you said previously. i will be overjoyed for a DDD in next weeks update lol we all need to keep our fingers crossed

[Pearl]

@LF I have only seen “mid February” on things from the IRS but everyone in forums keeps saying Feb. 15. Maybe I missed it somewhere though.

[LF]

NO i lied. 2017 i had a wednesday ddd and 2018 i had a thursdsy ddd so i dont think it has anything to do with what day you get your ddd

[LF]

okay that makes sense then about the cycle dates then bc i always get my deposits on thursdsays as well. i thought it was just the day that your account posted to the master file. i thought i read that somewhere. i dont even see whats the point of the weekly/ daily thing. just to make it more complicated than it needs to be lol

[LF]

is there anywhere that specifically says feb 15th ? or everywhere that has something about the path act just states “MID” Feb?

[Sarah]

@LF cycle codes just mean when your return was in the master file. What you said is not correct. I will provide the link.

The last number in the cycle code means what day your refunds fall on. Mine have always been Thursdays 05.

[TJK]

LF…4th week, 5th day?! Are you sure?? Last year my cycle code was 0605. I got it on the 21st which is a Thursday. I’m confused about cycle codes.

[LF]

I’m pretty sure that anyone who had blank or empty transcripts last week, their processing dates are the ones that went from 2/11 to 2/18.
but i think everyone that had COMPLETE transcripts last week (aside from the 846 code) still have the 2/11 processing date on their transcripts.
your cycle code is when your posted to the master file . my cycle code is 0405 which is (4th week, 5th day)

I just checked my transcripts again and i still have the 2/11 date.

Hey guys! Just to keep the thread going:

Filed – 1/23
Accepted – 1/24
Updated to PATH on WMR – 1/31
Transcripts Available 1/29
Process date 02/11/19
Cycle Code 20190405
Note: I have ACTC but no EIC

I did research my past deposits and transcripts for the last three years. They are as follows:

2018
Processing date on transcript 2/19/18
Issue date next to 846 code: 2/7/18
Actual hit my bank account (i use NetSpend so it is quick): 2/2/18 – I hadn’t even updated to two bars at that point.
NOTE: I did not fall under PATH last year

2017
Processing date on transcript 2/20/17
Issue date next to 846 code: 2/23/17
Actual hit my bank account (i use NetSpend so it is quick): 2/20/17
NOTE: I did have EIC

2016
Processing date on transcript 2/22/16
Issue date next to 846 code: 2/10/16
Actual hit my bank account (i use NetSpend so it is quick): 2/7/16
NOTE: I did have EIC

So based only on the info in my transcripts, I have never received a refund later than my processing date. Hope the same is true this year. The wording of “Mid February” seems very loose to me. I think mid month applies to the 10th-20th. That is only my opinion on what Mid applies, I have nothing that says the IRS agrees with me.

[TJK]

@bowl I have the same code as you. Going by what i have gathered. Our code means we’re weekly. If that’s I’m correct, we should see something tomorrow. Overnight. I filed on 1/22 accepted about 30 minutes later. On my transcripts it has a processing date of 2/11. Last year my processing date was 2/26 and I got DD on 2/22. And I remember it being a couple days to get accepted. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens kvernight.

[Sarah]

Btw I filed 1/26 and accepted 1/28. Processing date 2/18 with code 20190505.

[Sarah]

Just checked my transcripts and my tax return is processed besides 846. Waiting for the PATH, since I have EITC and ACTC. 2016 refund I got Feb 23rd 2017. 2017 refund I got February 22nd 2018. Going by this I should have my refund February 21st 2019. Granted no delays from the shut down.

[Bowl]

We are PATHers too. We got our Tax Return Transcript today with a cycle code of 20190405. Can anyone tell us what day we should see a update on WMR and possibly a guess on our DDD? Thanks for the help! We have both the ACTC and EIC credits. We just don’t know how to decipher the transcript code of 20190405 and try to guess at our DDD.

[Tara]

I filed 1/10 and accepted on 1/14. Had one bar then it went away and have had this message along with 9001 reference code ever since
We cannot provide any information about your refund.
If you electronically filed a complete and accurate tax return you should receive your refund in about 21 days from the received date. If you mailed your return please allow 6 weeks.

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information

2018 tax return transcript is not available as of 2pm today. :(
Although I can access 2018 Account Transcript which doesn’t have any information but does say as of Feb 11, 2019. Anyone know what that means?

[Moi]

My processing date was 2/11 and changed this morning to 2/18 when my full transcript (minus ddd) became available I’m sad to report. I filed 1/15 accepted 1/16. It’s my first year as a PATHer with EIC.

[Bowl]

We are PATHers too. We got our Tax Return Transcript today with a cycle code of 20190405. Can anyone tell us what day we should see a update on WMR and possibly a guess on our DDD? Thanks for the help!

[kenny]

Hopefully they won’t change the processing date a lot of people who filed on or after 1/28 have 2/18 for a processing date

[LF]

if our processing date doesn’t change theres a chance we could have a ddd for the 15th or the 21st. the 16th & 17th is a weekend though and the 18th is presidents day. the last 2 years i got mine on 2/22 but i have not ever processed as fast as i did this year. in previous years my transcripts only were viewable the day before my ddd.

or maybe since technically we are test batchers well get a DDD next saturday the 9th for a DDD on the 13th and the 846 code on transcripts the 8th. (wishful thinking) lol maybe they will “test” the path deposits for us?

that 2/11 processing date is what got me thinking bc technically that date means our returns need to be closed out by that day. unless our processing date changes to the 18th next week.

[Kenny]

My transcripts have the same information as well
Processing date of 2/11 so hopefully we will have one the earliest ddd is 2/16 or 2/17 possible?
Last two years mines have been 2/23

[LF]

hopefully next weekend we will wake up to great news!

[SlikNik]

LF,

I have all of the same exact info on my transcript. Fingers crossed! :) lol

[LF]

have you been able to view your transcripts yet?
If you can view your account transcripts it will show codes on the bottom. as long as you dont have any bad codes then you should be in good shape.
I have :
150 (means tax return filed)
766 (credit to your account)
768 (Earned income credit)

^^^ those are the ones you want to see

[Amy]

I have had the path message since 1/26 as well, is this a good thing?
