After you file
The IRS did not start accepting returns until January 27th. Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.
For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times.
Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) may experience a refund hold. The IRS usually begins issuing tax refunds on returns with the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit in late February.
Please see the TurboTax FAQ's below for additional information:
- Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act
- Why do some refunds take longer than others?
- What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
