[liz-thompson2012]

earned income tax credit and child tax credit are taking longer to refund. the IRS is not sending out refunds until mid-late February... so they trying to stop fraud by doing this. check back around 15-19 on the website to see if it is updated.

From the IRS:

“The IRS reminds taxpayers that, by law, the IRS cannot issue refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. While the IRS will process those returns when received, it cannot issue related refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return. “
