@Mrs.Harris16 because of the eitc and the actc they didn't start processing refunds until the 15th so that's your actually start date even if you sent it in earlier. They even told us to wait until the 27th even if we filed in late January because they don't processing those until the 15th. They could have processed your funds earlier but didn't release any info until the 17th. I filed on the 4th and didn't get an update until the 17th and my DDD is on the 22nd if it wasn't for that new law we would have had ours by now.
