Turbo tax refund tool says I should get my refund between jan 30 - feb 19. I claimed EIC How's this even possible?

As mandated by law, if you have EIC (earned income credit, aka EITC) or ACTC (additional child tax credit), the IRS will start processing them on Jan. 29, but will not start releasing those refunds until February 15.  That means people with those types of credits may not start receiving their refunds until around February 27.
