Will my refund take longer than 21 days?

Maybe. The IRS will begin to release Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC)/Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) refunds starting Feb. 15. However, the IRS cautions taxpayers that these refunds likely won’t arrive in bank accounts or debit cards until the week of February 27 -- if there are no processing issues with the tax return and the taxpayer chose direct deposit.

Where's My Refund? on IRS.gov and the IRS2Go mobile app will be updated with projected deposit dates for early EITC/ACTC refund filers a few days after Feb. 15. Taxpayers will not see a refund date on Where's My Refund? ?or through their software packages until then. The IRS, tax preparers and tax software will not have additional information on refund dates, so Where’s My Refund? remains the best way to check the status of a refund.
