I filled on Feb 14th and was accepted within 15min. It’s now Feb 27th and no update? I claimed the child tax credit and the income tax credit. Has anyone gotten theirs? Why is mine stuck?

The IRS says that they should start sending refunds starting today. And yes, some have started to see deposit dates posted for those with EIC and CTC.

Earned Income/Child tax credit delay

By law, the IRS cannot issue refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. While the IRS will process those returns when received, it cannot issue related refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return.
