Per IRS: If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), you can expect to get your refund by February 28 if:

You file your return online
You choose to get your refund by direct deposit
We found no issues with your return

However, some taxpayers may see their refunds a few days earlier.

Check Where’s My Refund for your personalized refund date.
Where's My Refund should show an updated status by February 18 for most early EITC/ACTC filers.

Additionally, your financial institution may need time to accept your direct deposit or issue a debit card. Many institutions don’t process payments on weekends or holidays. So, if you file early, be aware of federal and local holidays that may affect how soon you get your refund.
