Not necessarily- 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, 2018, if these taxpayers chose direct deposit and
there are no other issues with their tax return.
