Delay with tax returns?
My MIL said there is a delay on tax returns for those claiming a dependent or getting the earned income credit. Has anyone heard about this? I didn't see anything on the IRS website.
They are holding refunds until at least February 15 for certain tax credits. It's because of a law called the Path Act, which allows the IRS more time to verify the credits to reduce tax fraud. I saw something where if you claim the credits, you may not get it until February 27.
On their website there says there Will be a delay formal people claiming EITC
