If you have certain refundable credits in your return, the IRS is required by law to withhold your tax refund for a period of time. They have indicated this year that most taxpayers in this situation will receive their refunds by March 3, though some may see them sooner (and, in turn, some may take longer.)
While the average is 21 days, there are a number of other reasons that returns can take longer to process. Be sure to watch your mail for any correspondence from the IRS and, if received, answer it promptly. Occasionally, the IRS needs additional information to process your refund, and they will reach out by mail when this is the case.
