Updated to Path Message Last Night ? (2/15)

[Maddie]

I filed1/22. Accepted 1/27. Only have ACTC, no EITC. I have had one bar, and TT152 since I was accepted. But last night when PATH was lifted, I got the path message now. Has this happened to anyone else? What the hell is going on?

Well it’s the magical you got your wmr tries back hour hopefully some good news on those who can’t see transcripts

[Denise]

Yes I just checked my transcript and have a 846 for 02/26/2020

[Libby]

For all PATHers who lost path message check ur transcript now i got my 846 refund issue date this morning for 2 26 2020!!! Yeahhh

@gata10 I have the same under my primary social, my wife shows and when I call the hotline my information is there, so I think its a website error

[Gata10]

Has anyone received the “refund status error information entered does not match” but you have been seeing your updates on WMR this entire tiMe?

[RW]

Our Prediction for when we will see the first updates in 2020

When is the First batch of Direct Deposit Dates for PATH Filers on WMR in 2020?

The IRS “Where’s My Refund” tool will be updated with projected deposit dates for most early EITC and ACTC refunds by Saturday, February 22, 2020.

Please Plan Accordingly this is a full week after the 15th this year. This year will mark the longest we have had to wait for an update since they put the law into effect in 2017. In years past we have seen updates within a few days after the 15th.

[RW]

Look at the pervious year process:

During the 2019 tax season, the first batch of Direct Deposit Dates started pouring in at 3:30 am Saturday, February 16, 2019, with an update for some of the early filers with daily and weekly accounts with 2/21 Direct Deposit Dates. Effective starting back in 2017 all major tax refund updates for both daily and weekly accounts claiming EITC or ACTC credits see most updates on Saturday mornings. Starting the following week Saturday, February 23, 2019, the IRS returned to normal processing of daily and weekly accounts held by PATH both receiving updates on Saturday Mornings.

We will get a update in the morning after 6 am the system will be up again. Keep in mind tax family, agents aren’t available to speak to the tax payers on Sunday’s but during the tax season they are working in Sunday’s.

[RW]

We will get another update first thing in the morning, the system will be unavailable until after 6am.

When you call no rep is available of course, but the agents are still working. I have a friend of mine that works for the IRS.

In addition everyone that has received the processing message it’s normal the same exact thing happen to me in previous years.

For those who’s saying relax and be patient ok that’s great but you never know people situations. Let’s all be considered and respectful.

Hope this info helps but to ease your minds just look at 2018 forums and you’ll see the same process happened.

filed 2/2 accepted in 10 mins on 2/2 had path message til this morning now I got this: We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

Please Note:
For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.

[Marie wallace]

Yes, same happened to me. I filed on 2/1 & accepted in 10 min on 2/1 I had 1 bar the whole time. On 2/15 it updated to path message then this morning 2/16 it updated to no bars, but has a message saying I’m processing. A lot of people were saying don’t be surprised if wmr never updates & you just get your DD.

[Opie]

Thats pretty cool that an irs agent posted to the forum. Even if its sombody posing as one it going to ease alot of concerns.

Thank you agent Wilson

[Jessie]

I still have bars filed on 2/6 and I still have my bars

[Target]

@Maddie, though it’s taken some time (received path first time last season), everyone with certain credits, will eventually update to Path message. Before the IRS removes it permanently (not path act).. The message was meant to be temporary! The new act law was signed, by President Obama, in 2015 and will be a permanent fixture. The wait however will remain also!

[OhioMom2020]

My husband also changed to PATH last night. No credits. I changed to PATH and I have both credits. So it is showing for everyone. I think it’s going to change to a DDD for everyone who has the PATH message in the next few days.
We both filed 1/27, accepted 1/28

[Leslie]

Kristy, same here. There’s no wording for amount. Just tax period ending: Dec 31, 2019. I’m irritated because I can’t check my transcripts this year. I changed phone numbers. Went to re-register and even though the contract is in my name, they can’t verify my number 🤔. Could with my prepaid phone but not my contract?! I’ve never gotten the PATH message in previous years.

@irs agent

Why did I go to PATH tonight when I didnt file any credits? Nothing but a simple return

[IRS Agent]

Hello,

By 2/16 (after Midnight PST) everyone will see an update as the PATH messages will be lifted for almost all Filers.

The IRS thanks you all for your patience this new year.

Kindly,

I was on one bar up until last Monday 2/10, then bar disappeared. Now I just checked wmr and I have the path message. And refund amount on the left column is gone. I’m a little worried about this but maybe more info will be available tomorrow morning. So I assume Path lifts some time after midnight tonight 2/15-2/16??

[Momme2xx]

Filed 1/27
Accepted 1/28
2/15/20 UPDATED TO PATH MESSAGE ( I HAVE EIC & ACTC) Last year i got my refund on 2/26. Im hoping its gonna be soon. I looked up my account on SSA.GOV and my 2019 income is already posted, that usually means you are done or very cliose to it. I believe IRS is the one who provides that information to Social Security. Does anyone else know for sure?
Thanks!!

[Waiting]

Will I receive a Direct Deposit Date on February 16 when the PATH Message lifts from WMR?

Everybody’s Where’s My Refund? statuses will change to a new status because the PATH hold releases at the end of the day (11:59:59pm) on February 15th. Most people will see the Still Processing screen until they receive further information or two bars with a Direct Deposit Date.

[Justin]

I was updated to PATH and didnt have ANY credits. Super pissed about it though, they need to get it together.

[Maddie]

Glad to know I’m not alone. I’ve never even got the path message before and I’ve been claiming my kids for 3+ years. Hopefully it updates again 😬

[Target]

It’s looking like a cluster*uck to me ..

[Mrsjackson618]

*same thing

[Mrsjackson618]

Yes something happened to me. Idk what’s going on. I seen some ppl say they updated twice. But I don’t know if that’s true. Im waiting another hour to check again.
