      I know one person personally and have heard of a few others who have already received their tax refund for 2025 and it’s been deposited into their account. They’re people with children as well. I know having children doesn’t necessarily mean you have EITC or ACTC but how is this possible? I mean it’s a great sign that this tax season will be much quicker than previous years but I’m curious to know what’s different and if anyone has experienced something similar this year already. The one thing I’ve experienced this year that’s out of the norm is my return is taking much longer to be accepted. Usually it’s the same day or the next day at the latest but I filed and submitted on 1/29 and it’s almost the 2nd and it’s still pending. Anyone else? I’d love to hear everyone’s experience this year so far!

          Last year I got my (PATH) refund on 2/15 which is, to me at least, unheard of. I wouldn’t be surprised anymore after that.

            I have refund date of 2/10 for my state I’m a PATHer I was always told whole refund was held until path lift. I was shocked this year.

                My return was finally accepted today so at least that’s some progress. Hopefully my transcripts will update as well. From what I’ve seen others saying, their transcripts aren’t even updating until right before or even after their refund hits their account so maybe that’s not an accurate assessment of when you’ll receive your refund this year. Who knows but I’m definitely in favor of receiving refunds faster!

                      ACTC with ddd of 2/4. Last year ACTC with ddd of 2/17 but the funds hit our account 1/31. I have no idea how this works.

                        Government shutdown will likely impact processing of returns and refunds.
