After you file

I was able to get through to the IRS yesterday. The guy I spoke with looked up my info and explained that due to the government shut down it has pushed everything back. He also explained that anyone with a EIC (earned income credit) would not be getting any funds until 2/27/19. He said if you haven't received anything after February 27th or 28th  he would advise to contact them. He said if you haven't gotten an email or letter telling you why you aren't getting a refund then that's when you have to be concerned. If you have NOT gotten an email or letter then you should be in the clear. Hopefully that clears it up a little bit.
