Has anyone filed for the Extra Child income tax and their refund be approved or got it yet? Mine was accepted February 19th but now nothing

There is no credit on a federal return called an "extra child credit."   There is a child tax credit and the refundable portion of that credit called the Additional Child Tax Credit  (ACTC)  --- and it is subject to the PATH act which means your refund is held until almost the end of February.

 

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

 If accepted, they try to process it within three weeks but it can be longer.  if you have earned income credit or additional child tax credit, it will be at least the end of February before you see your refund, due to the PATH act that requires that they hold your refund longer.

 

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 34of your 2020 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Normally we would get it the first week of March. Hence this week but since they opened filing late a d yours wasn't accepted till 16th I would say next week. I am in the same boat. My bf doesn't have kids and he got his return this week so we will likely get ours next week. All these projections are wrong . I always get mine a week after he gets his without the child tax credit. So we should be good to go next week. My irs 2 go says still processing. So hopefully it updates soon. .keep in touch if you like anomie42ooo@ g mail.com I would like to know if you get a deposit date as I am in the same boat 🐱
