No one has received a 2018 tax refund yet. The IRS will not start processing 2018 tax returns until January 28. It will take a few weeks after that for refunds to start going out. If you claimed the Earned Income Credit (EIC), Additional Child Tax Credit, or refundable American Opportunity Credit the IRS is not allowed to pay the refund until after February 15, and they say it takes about a week after that for the refunds to actually be sent out.
