I read on the IRS website today that refunds claiming EIC or ACTC will begin processing on February 17, with refunds expected by the first week of March. It says that refund dates will be updated on the "Where's My Refund" page or app on Feb. 22.
I'm in the same boat - TurboTax said estimated direct deposit date was Feb. 17, but it was a holiday, so I figured Feb. 18. I filed with them every year and it's always been accurate, so I trusted it this year. Now I'm in a big financial pinch because I relied on it being correct, even though TurboTax gives no guarantee. Big bummer.
Anyone know what time of day the IRS releases refunds, or is it any time?
