🚨 PATH ACT UPDATE 🚨

If you’re claiming:
✔️ Earned Income Credit (EIC)
✔️ Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC)

The IRS cannot release your refund before mid-February due to the PATH Act.

Most taxpayers who file early typically begin seeing deposits during the last week of February, depending on processing and bank timing.
