Is the eitc going to delay my refund

[mesquitebean · Accepted solution]

If you qualify for EIC/EITC (earned income credit), the IRS will not start releasing refunds for those types of returns until February 15, which means you may not receive it until the week of February 27.

This is also true for returns with the ACTC (additional child tax credit.)
