After you file

So.. my turn... my federal refund was accepted by the IRS on Jan 23rd. I talked to three people there this week . One said all looked ok and I have to wait due to the EIC and child tax credit . Tonight I talked to TWO reps who both told me that they can't see anything with my return and it says "system error " And I have to wait 8 weeks from Feb 4th. I literally hung up and started to cry . I hate all of this .  I am a single mother in California.  And I'm struggling .  And it's not right.
