https://www.irs.gov/individuals/refund-timingWhy is my refund being held?
If you claim the EITC or ACTC on your tax return, the IRS must hold your refund until mid-February. The law requires the IRS to hold the entire refund — even the portion not associated with the EITC or ACTC. Like previous years, some tax refunds may be held if there are questions about the tax return or the IRS needs more information.
We don't make the rules.... the IRS does.
