Most refunds take around three weeks to process. ‌However, as per XmasBaby0, if you had a credit on your return like the Earned Income Credit or the Child Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit, the processing time is longer.

 

The Path Act requires the IRS to hold refunds for Earned Income Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit until March 3.
