🚨 FINAL DAY OF THE PATH ACT REFUND HOLD 🚨
Today is the last day the Internal Revenue Service is legally required to hold refunds for taxpayers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and/or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC).
📌 Here’s what that means:
• Refunds can begin releasing after today
• No deposits are issued today, this is the release point, not payout day
• Refund movement usually shows on tax transcripts first, then updates on Where’s My Refund
📄 What to expect next:
✅Transcript updates soon
✅Where’s My Refund status soon
✅Direct deposits hitting bank accounts in the coming days
⌛️We’re officially in REFUND WATCH mode 💰👀
