ALL EARLY FILERS PATIENTLY WAITING ON THEIR REFUND

The "Where's My Refund" online tool will be updating for early filers claiming Earned Income Credit (EIC), Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), and the American Opportunity Credit (AOTC) is expected to begin appearing around February 17, 2026. Please be patient as this will be the first big batch IRS will send out. Most taxpayers can expect to see their refunds in their bank accounts by March 2, 2026. You may check your status by visiting the IRS website of https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund and/or logging on to your IRS online account. The IRS "Where's My Refund" tool and tax transcripts are updated ONCE a day, usually overnight. There is no need to check more than once per day, as checking frequently will not speed up the processing of your refund. On another note, while the IRS generally attempts to process tax returns in the order they are received, several factors can cause them to appear out of order or cause significant processing delays. If AFTER 21 days of the start of processing, you have not received your deposit or correspondence from the IRS, please let us know and we will gladly help you.

Thank you in advance for being patient and understanding.

See your personalized refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund. See your status starting around 24 hours after you e-file or 4 weeks after you mail a paper return.

The Internal Revenue Service has announced Monday, Jan. 26, 2026 as the official start date of the nation's 2026 tax season when the agency will begin accepting and processing 2025 individual tax returns.

Several factors can influence the timing of a refund after the IRS receives a tax return. While the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, taxpayers are advised not to depend on receiving a 2025 federal tax refund by a specific date for major purchases or bill payments. Some returns may require additional review and take longer to process if there are possible errors, missing information, or indications of identity theft or fraud. Also, returns including a request for a refund to be disbursed by paper check from the IRS may be delayed for up to an additional 6 weeks.

Additionally, under the PATH Act, the IRS cannot issue refunds for tax returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. The IRS must hold the entire refund — not just the portion associated with these credits — until the review is complete.

Welcome back for another tax season!

We hope you had a healthy and prosperous 2025 and wish only the best of health, success and growth for 2026.

We are back in office; excited to see y'all again and begin preparing your 2026 tax returns.

We will be in and out of office for the remainder of this week as we prepare for the upcoming rush. We recommend to call before going if possible, 956-961-4243, just to make sure we aren't out on an errand.

Next week we will be there part time (9am to 3pm) to get things moving and answering any questions you may have.

IRS has yet to set an official start date to the season but we will be sure to post as soon as it is stated.

We look forward to working with you and beforehand would like to extend our most humble gratitude for entrusting us with your federal individual and business taxes. We are most appreciative and remain dedicated to giving you honest, upstanding and candid service. ✨️
