My return was accepted Feb 1st (EITC)
My fiances was accepted Feb 2nd (EITC & ACTC)
we both checked status on IRS2GO (Where's my refund) on the 14th.
Both had said accepted and being reviewed or w/e
So they must've moved the date up internally when they realized 15th was a Saturday and a federal holiday proceeding.
With that info I'm not sure it's entirely plausible to say it was the 18th. However, we still have the same status at 2pm on Friday (21st). Every year since the new EITC/ACTC laws we have gotten the refund approved and sent on the 22nd, happens to be saturday this year. I'm hoping for monday next week, but I think they might be running a bit behind since the federal holiday.
My best guess is 26th-2nd
