What is the delay on my tax return

[PhyllisG]

You can visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website at 

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Select the Refund Status button to the left of the screen.

The refunds for the 2018 tax year are being delayed.  The IRS has announced that it won't begin issuing refunds until mid-February. You may not see your federal refund if filing with direct deposit until February 27th or later.

If you are an individual who claims the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), the Internal Revenue Service has adopted a policy to not release any refunds until after February 15th.  This is the result of an increase in recent tax fraud crimes.

You will need to check with your State taxing agency to determine when their state refunds will be issued.
