Important Notice about Tax Refund Delays

The federal law “Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes” or PATH, effective December 18, 2015, requires all original or amended tax refunds that claim the earned income tax credit (“EITC”) to be held until February 15, 2017 in order to help prevent identity theft and refund fraud.

The IRS will not release partial refunds, so EITC recipients should anticipate their entire refund being held. For more information see, GUIDE TO EVERYTHING EITC.
