When are all the pathers filing?

[Kristin N lombardo]

After my awful experience last year I’m worried about filing too early. I filed early January last year and didn’t get my refund until April. Im thinking about filing either the 14th or 18th of February this year. Any thoughts?

I was thinking of waiting until the first round of ddd are given. I’m not too depended on my tax return this year, just using it to replace everyone’s mattress and pay the kids school tuition for next year, nothing that can’t wait a couple extra weeks. So pathers please keep us updated with movements. I agree I don’t believe “luck” is at the root of the delays.

I always file as early as possible and I get my refund shortly after PATH lifts. This year I filed later than normal on 1/28.

LUCK has nothing to do with it! The IRS targets early Path Filers for audits! I’ve heard this many times in trying to get our refund two years ago, finally released that November. I’m waiting until the 9th. This year again. By then the IRS will have enough returns locked up to audit.

I’m filing the 10th. 2 years in a row I filed early and both times didn’t get my returns until August and October. My friend Spooky on here didn’t get his until November 2018.

I’d wait and let all the glitches get worked out.

I had no issues last year. Filed with TT on Jan 24 and had my refund Feb 21. This year I filed on Jan 22, accepted Jan 23 and I am at one bar on WMR

I ALWAYS file early and always have EIC and CTC, last year I filed mine on Jan 24th and had my direct deposit on Feb 21st. I filed the 27th this year accepted the same day and I’m on one bar.
