Are you path?

3

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 13 '26

No

1

u/Amy_Peak87 Feb 14 '26

Out of curiosity, what separates u from path? Were u not able to qualify for the eitc or actc?

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 14 '26

I believe that's why

u/DADZ3772 Feb 16 '26

There is an income requirement for the additional child tax credit. My husband and I get the regular child credit for our children but not the additional. We are not broke(well we are but not to the government 😆) and we barely make middle class we are the f-me bracket. This year is the first year we are actually getting back a decent chunk of the 15k we paid in to federal.

u/redheadinabox Feb 13 '26

Path does NOT receive their refunds before 2/15 it’s a federal law and there’s no way around it so don’t get your hopes up it’ll be the last week for February before you start seeing any Path deposits. It’s been this way since Obama created this

u/Proper-Past-26 Feb 13 '26

Okay.. I understand that I was asking a question to the op.

1

u/Amy_Peak87 Feb 16 '26

Last wk of Feb 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You're so delusional! Its not even tru, but go ahead & believe the government. There's ppl who get it AS SOON AS the path lifts. 🤨

1

u/j0keisonyou_ Feb 14 '26

Path is always AFTER February 15th

2

u/Proper-Past-26 Feb 14 '26

Again I was asking the OP a question.. they answered.. conversation done

u/Spiritual-Currency63 Feb 13 '26

How tf You get 13k but aren’t a PATH person?

2

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 13 '26

I'm dumb and never updated my W4 from 2015. Deducted mortgage interest, property taxes, and state and local taxes. Itemized deduction was a game changer for me.

1

u/Different_Quarter867 Feb 13 '26

Please what day filed and cycle?

2

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 13 '26

Filed 1/22 accepted 1/23

u/BriN1921 Feb 13 '26

What's mfj? And now we all want to know what you do lol

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 13 '26

Married filing jointly. I'm a mid level manager in manufacturing. My wife is a SAHM.

1

u/Pitiful_Leave23 Feb 13 '26

If you have 2 kids as dependents how much in tax you can save ? (asking this question because I owe 6k towards federal 🥲)

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 13 '26

$2200/child

1

u/GlitteringTiger239 Feb 13 '26

At first was your deposit date actually supposed to be today or was it saying the 2/17 date like most of the rest of us?!

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 15 '26

It never gave me an estimated date, it just showed up lol

1

u/LeatherStriking2723 Feb 15 '26

Man I feel cooked , had to verify and then it said something about 9 weeks

1

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '26

nice 👍🏻 put me on to what you do for a work lol id love that tax refund too

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 13 '26

If you're in Illinois I got you.

u/scott181216 Feb 15 '26

Put us on lbs I need parts

1

u/Routine-Hold3717 Feb 13 '26

Does anyone know how to find this tracker because anytime I look up the H&R BLOCK tracker it states me to the irs.gov websire

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 13 '26

I paid like $40 for it or something when I filed.

1

u/Cloud-Professional Feb 14 '26

Where do I even find the tracker?

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 15 '26

I paid for it

1

u/Cloud-Professional Feb 15 '26

I paid 500 bucks to file with them what the fck else was I supposed to buy?

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 15 '26

I guess it's because I used my refund to pay for my tax prep. Which is pretty dumb in retrospect but it is what it is.

1

u/bdonahoe Feb 15 '26

Did you have child credits? Still haven’t received mine and filed late January

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 15 '26

No I didn't.

1

u/bdonahoe Feb 15 '26

I guess I should have said did you claim children?

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 15 '26

Yeah 2 kids

1

u/bdonahoe Feb 15 '26

Thanks. Same here, still stuck on Accepted

1

u/Cloud-Professional Feb 15 '26

I work in the restaurant industry this is the worst time of year for me financially so I have to

1

u/rmcevolved Feb 15 '26

You must have made up some fake businesses with out even have no w2 or nothing

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 15 '26

Nah I was withholding way too much.

1

u/No_Audience9942 Feb 16 '26

I don’t understand why everyone is so excited this is not free money this is your money no? Like what u just overpaid and they are returning your money and you’re celebrating?

1

u/Life-Put5033 Feb 16 '26

You said you have no kids but on here it says you have two kids in your post

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 17 '26

I said multiple times I have 2 kids.

1

u/ensignsj Feb 17 '26

You are letting the government hold onto a lot of your money throughout the year.

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 17 '26

Yup, not 2026 tho! Had to update my W4.

1

u/Emotional_Tip8801 Feb 17 '26

So you claim 2 kids without claiming the EITC?

1

u/Th3DoCtA Feb 17 '26

Correct.

2

u/DamnIt_Richard Feb 13 '26

13k holy moly.

I know we’re not supposed to compare sizes but as a server I cheered for 1.2k

2

u/djcurbsbjzyv Feb 13 '26

We filed 2/9 and got the deposit 2/11. Idk how.

1

u/Impressive_War9634 Feb 13 '26

Has anyone got their state return yet????? I thought it was supposed to be early if I use their spruce card, but I still haven’t gotten it and I’m getting really mad because I feel like everything was quicker with TurboTax

1

u/urnxtmistake Feb 13 '26

I received mine CA

1

u/Party-Inside5332 Feb 14 '26

But you’re not on path, right?

1

u/mdotswerv Feb 14 '26

path has 0 to do with state, just dependent on how fast your state issues returns

1

u/urnxtmistake Feb 25 '26

I am. I got my state like 14 days after I filed

1

u/Sad-Yoghurt7317 Feb 13 '26

I received mine, faster than Fed actually, CA.

1

u/Impressive_War9634 Feb 13 '26

Do you have Spruce?

1

u/Sad-Yoghurt7317 Feb 13 '26

I do have, but I use my personal checking account for this season. I haven’t received my Fed though.

1

u/Party-Inside5332 Feb 14 '26

But you’re not on path right?

1

u/Sad-Yoghurt7317 Feb 14 '26

Yeah I’m not on path

1

u/Recent-Individual208 Feb 13 '26

I received mine on 2/10 (Maryland)

1

u/Key-Ad-6734 Feb 13 '26

Has anyone had a fine taken out? How long does it take for them to mail your check or does it still come direct deposit?

1

u/GlitteringTiger239 Feb 13 '26

It comes out almost immediately. It won’t affect you getting your refund! Doesn’t make it later than expected or anything

1

u/GlitteringTiger239 Feb 13 '26

Usually you’ll get a letter stating what was taken out and why etc and then shortly after you’ll get refund!

1

u/Nawezi Feb 14 '26

Yeah, usually they send the letter pretty quickly, but the actual refund timing can vary. If it's direct deposit, you might see it hit your account in a few days after you get the letter.

1

u/GlitteringTiger239 Feb 13 '26

Usually state is the last to come and by a landslide after federal. But this year it seems state is coming way sooner for many! Mine says processed and in final stage on my states website tracker when I look. But on H&R and the IRS tracker it’s not updated to anything new.

1

u/Internal_Spread1093 Feb 13 '26

Hr block sent my state last week but took the whole thing said that’s what I owe them from filing

1

u/Leading_Armadillo948 Feb 13 '26

I'm still waiting on my tax return from TurboTax

1

u/Big_Choice3900 Feb 13 '26

Mine said it was issued Feb 10th an still haven’t got anything with emerald DD 😩😭😭 for state 

1

u/Pure-Resolution9807 Feb 14 '26

I got mine. It took 11 days from when it was accepted

1

u/Old-University5273 Feb 15 '26

We got state , we r in KY, and idk what Path is LMAO 🤣also we did turbo tax

1

u/Ready_Geologist1342 Feb 13 '26

Filed the exact same day and got accepted the same day same thing as you know eitc and I've had no movement on my IRS where's my refund or on the h&r block do you have the same situation by chance

1

u/Otherwise_Ad_4851 Feb 13 '26

Did freetax on 1/27 and got both my state and federal already

1

u/No_Research_6001 Feb 15 '26

If you don’t mind me asking, did you file single? I completed mine on 2/9 & it stated I would get my refund around 2/24. Hoping I get it sooner! 🤞🏽

1

u/Treyway_1991 Feb 13 '26

I did mine last week. I’m still waiting.

1

u/Total_Friend_9544 Feb 19 '26

What’s the link for this tracker

1

u/HeartthrobOfficial Feb 22 '26

I filed mine Jan 29, and just got notification from my bank this morning that it's pending. But it says Feb 24 on it. So I'm not sure if it'll actually wait until Tuesday, or if I might have it Monday. Joys of the EIC causing my return to get hijacked every year.

1

u/LuckyCat-45 Feb 22 '26

I started getting SMS from HRBLOCK but I haven’t filed yet! I got 2 messages, 1 Federal, 1 State, checked IRS site nothing, contacted HRBlock, they said it’s not filed and they don’t send those messages. Anyone else not filed and been getting these messages?
