It says to check back mid to late February. I've heard everyones is saying that.

[Lisa995]

If it says to check back, where did you see that it would be deposited today?

[sabrinabriann151]

It's on the desktop version of turbo tax.. it won't let me see on my phone but on my computer it shows up

[Texas Roger]

Any date supplied by TurboTax is only an estimate based on historical IRS refund payment time frames. You must use the IRS web site to get correct information. If the web site says mid to late February, then the IRS doesn't know for sure when they are going to complete processing your return and send you the refund.

Ok thank you

Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit may experience a refund hold. According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue these refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or debit cards starting February 27, 2019, if these taxpayers chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.

What does this mean, will we get our full refund if we got this message

[Texas Roger]

Yes you will get the full refund but it will be held until the release date.
