Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) Filers

Although you were able to file your taxes as early as January 1, 2019, a law was passed in 2018 that requires the IRS to hold all tax refunds that included the EITC or the ACTC. The IRS will hold these refunds until February 15, 2019. If you filed with either of these credits and experienced no other problems filing, you should expect your refund no earlier than February 25.
