About
The Path Act started in 2015 and delays the IRS from issuing refunds until March that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). This includes the entire refund amount, not just the amount related to the credits claimed.
For 2022 returns filed, if you claim the EITC or ACTC, you can expect to get your refund as soon as February 28th, 2023.
To ensure this deposit time frame, you must file your return online, choose to receive your refund by direct deposit, and there be no processing issues or errors with your return.
