If I claimed a child on my taxes how do I have to wait to get them? Wmr is not working for me this year, its apparently broken for a lot of people, they are lucky they even had bars, mine has shown nothing this year at all, I filed 1/28 and looks like the irs is really slacking this year compared to the last few years, looks more like 9 out of 10 people WON'T be getting their tax refund early this year
