Refund Status Results
Print your Refund Results for your records. Take the survey.

According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue refunds before mid-February for tax returns that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. This applies to the entire refund, even the portion not associated with these credits.
Check Where’s My Refund in mid- to late February for your personalized refund status. It’s updated once a day and remains the best way to check the status of your refund.

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:

I’m not even PATHer, but I still got the path message.

I filed as head of household and claimed my parents as dependents. No child tax credits

[Mari808]

People who are affected by the path act. Someone who claims the EITC and the ACTC tax credits. Pathers have to wait until mid February for their refunds.

So what does it mean? Posting about it would educate others that don’t know.
