Refund Approved

What did the status show per the IRS website?

Just an update to give some people hope.  Got my refund today. Was accepted 1/14 and approved on 1/26.  No EIC 

[mommabear234]

Mine was accepted on 1/14 and I am still having the issue with  WMR when I try to check the status. I can get in with one SS but cant with the other. Still just in the accepted stage. NO EIC, simple return married filed joint with 2 dependent's, no itemizations, nothing fancy... hurry up and wait!

Perhaps they processed single-filers first, and joint filers will take longer. I am a single filer, no EIC, no dependents, standard deduction, so about as basic as you can get.

[txgirl]

I do not think that theory is correct as I filed married and have one dependant and got my refund yesterday.  Not sure there is any rhyme or reason to it. 

[maroonfalcon]

You're probably right. It's probably just luck of the draw.

tax child refunds will not be issued until 27th of Feb said people could start checking on 23rd , If you got a DDD then your a lucky one

That is only if you have the ADDITIONAL child tax credit. Not regular child tax. I just had regular child tax, that is why I did not have a delay.

whats the difference from additional child tax credit and regular?? 

[txgirl]

The official definition is : Additional Child Tax Credit. The Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) is a refundable credit that you may receive if your Child Tax Credit is greater than the total amount of income taxes you owe, as long as you had an earned income of at least $2,500. For 2018 returns, the ACTC is worth $1,400.
