PATH / EIC / CTC Refund in bank on 2/13

[Missy]

I used free file through H&R Block’s website. Filed on 2/5, accepted within 15 minutes, never checked status because I knew it was supposed to be late this year. But I checked for other people, one filed on 2/2 with no EIC or CTC, and still has no bars and can’t access transcripts. So I figured no point in checking mine. But checked my bank accounts today and Chase showed pending but already credited account. Other bank and my credit union already posted, no pending. This was deposited on 2/13. Checked WMR on IRS website afterwards and it had me at 2 bars with direct deposit date of 2/13, just didn’t show refund sent yet.

So anyway, there’s definitely hope to receive it before 2/27 and even 2/15. One thing I think might make a difference, is my information doesn’t change much each year – filing status, dependent, extra forms I file, etc. Even if address changes, or add a job.

Thanks for sharing the info.

I may have jumped the gun, I just looked over my taxes and that I didn’t get EIC this year. But I did get CTC. Either way, I still wasn’t expecting it 8 days after filing!

Thank you for that information
