By law, any 2017 returns that include Earned Income Credit (EITC) and/or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) will be held until around mid-February. And refunds from those returns will start releasing in late February. Please see below for additional details.

This applies to federal refunds. You will need to check with your state's department of revenue to see if their processing is different. How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?

The question was about state tax refunds not being received and you answered about federal. Today is March 18th and I still don't have my state return. I filed on January 26th. I called my state and they said there are no notices on my account and they can see it is being processed, no further information available. So the question should still be open, with an obvious answer of YES there will be delays, but obviously no one knows why or for how long, and calling your state will get you no closer to an answer.
