Has anyone with EITC received their tax refund???

[HurricaneNightRider]

So my sister in law and her husband used Turbo Tax and they just got their tax return last week. They have 2 children and get the EIC this happened for them last year as well. So how is it that they say they cant release till mid February and yet they got theirs already?

[HurricaneNightRider]

I thought this was true but it is false! My sister in law and her husband got theirs last week and they get the EIC for their 2 children and they received theirs last week. They showed me their refund and went back to last year and showed us again that last year as well they received theirs

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times.

The IRS usually begins issuing tax refunds on returns with the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit in late February. They may have started processing some of these returns now yes, but the information we receive from the IRS is late February.

Other things that can delay your refund include, but are not limited to:

• Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets
• Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information
• Identity fraud
• Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process

Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.

• Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act
• My return is accepted but still not approved. Is there a problem? Should I be worried?

Hi have anyone gotten a dd yet?

Turbo tax promises but usually doesn't deliver their product as stated in their ad. I was not able to apply for the standard free basic addition. The app only accepted the "deluxe" fee.

THERE IS NO REASON IN THE WORLD THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH AND A HALF TO GET OUR REFUNDS, JUST BECAUSE WE CLAIMED THE EARNED INCOME CREDIT. THEY RECIEVED MY RETURN ON THE 27TH OF JANUARY, I HAD TO WAIT TILL THE FIFTEENTH OF FEBUARY FOR THEM TO START HANDING OUT REFUNDS, ALL THOSE RETURNS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROCESSED AS THEY WERE RECIEVED JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND THEN PUT IN THE HOLD PILE. ON THE FIFTEENTH ALL THOSE RETURNS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OUT AND REFUNDS SENT. THERE IS NO REASON IN HELL WHY WE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER THREE WEEKS TO RECIEVE OUR REFUNDS, WE ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AND PUNISHED FOR CLAIMING OUR CHILDREN. THE IRS AND THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, I BET THEIR FAMILIES ARE NOT WAITING FOR THEIR MONEY. THEY NEED TO TREAT OUR REFUNDS LIKE EVERYONE ELSES, AS THEY ARE RECIEVED HOLD THEM TILL THE FIFTEENTH BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE VERIFIED BUT RELEASE THEM BY THE SIXTEENTH, ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

I wonder if it makes a difference if your still married or if there is no agreement with other parent claiming them ?

It may just be the regular process.  Only the IRS knows.

IRS website for PATH act delaying federal tax refund that include EIC and/or ACTC - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/refund-timing

If you have not received your tax refund, then contact the IRS -

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
