After you file

@Mikey1121

 

If your refund includes the Earned Income Credit or Child Tax Credit, do not expect it to be released before February 15.

 

CBS news is reporting:

 

That may make taxpayers nervous about delays in 2022, but most Americans should get their refunds within 21 days of filing, the IRS said this month — with some caveats. Claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Child Tax Credit will slow down your tax return due to regulations designed to deter fraud, but that means people who claim those credits and filed their returns on January 24 or close to that date may not receive their refund until early March, the IRS said.
