Girl! I'm checking every dang on day. Maybe, hopefully by tomorrow or this weekend the irs refund status updates to when the money will be deposited. I'm itching for that refund.

@caen2551 me too it keeps yelling at me saying I did it too many times lmao

@woodcutter87 lmao! I totally feel you. I just read on the irs website that for those who claimed the EIC, the refund status will be updated this Saturday 2/22. You know we both will be on there like clock work hahaha

@caen2551 ughhh I cant wait that long it said according to the charts that money should be deposited tomorrow but nothing is updated ‍♀️

@woodcutter87 uugghh. It's so frustrating

@caen2551 right. Last year I got them right away and the Gov was shut down ‍♀️ also it showed that it was approved and never updated but I had it in my account so I am hoping that is what happens tomorrow and its dropped in my account lol
by (6.3k points)
@woodcutter87 I hope so too. What do plan on doing with the refund?  
by (1.1k points)
@caen2551 uh I have a bunch of debt to pay and stuff to catch up on from when I lost my job in oct. I'm buying tickets to go to ny by my family for me and my daughter. We are getting ipad/ipod and im getting a new phone and then the remaining is my starter EF I'm thinking $1300-$1500 is good how about you?  
by (6.3k points)
@woodcutter87 I have one more credit card to pay off and I'll be debt free, aside from my 14k car loan; which hopefully I can be able to pay more towards the car since I won't have anymore credit card debt anymore. I am also purchasing NYC tickets. My daughter is turning 10 in March so I promised her we'd go. Moreover, I need new tires so that will help. Lastly, I want to invest in a 529 account for my kids, so they don't end up struggling like me.

@subito the irs won't start releasing funds if u had the earned income or child credit until like next week. You won't see it till march. That's how it's been the past 5 years. They say its to cut down on tax fraud

@onyx480 thanks  it’s my first year claiming my child and I was worry, again thanks for the info
by (1.2k points)
@subito I steadily be checking mine even tho I kno i still have 3 weeks lol
by (1.4k points)
@onyx480 that’s not true. We always have our mid February. Ours are done by someone and e-filed. They were approved as soon as he filed them and we should see money within 7-10 days.  
by (1.2k points)
@salaam they actually put a statement out that if you have the earned income or child tax credit breaks you wont see your money until. march. if you get it before then its because you didnt qualify for those tax breaks

@askew1968 can you tell me what 570 means. I mean, I see it says “additional account action pending” with 3/9 as the date, that’s from my transcript, the status when I check is still processing. lawd please I don’t want to be reviewed  (drawing a blank on the actual term they use)
