Nobody claiming eitc has they’re refund yet. People have been posting for the last couple years claiming they received a refund which isn’t true, they’re just trying to get people all worked up. By law the Irs cannot release refunds until 2/15.
Possible Refund Delay for Some Early Filers:
The PATH Act mandates that the IRS not issue a refund on tax returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb. 15. The additional time helps the IRS stop fraudulent refunds from being issued to identity thieves and fraudulent claims with fabricated wages and withholdings.
