The IRS just started processing all the returns with EIC & ACTC this weekend and it will take a few days to plow thru the millions in the pile ... patience will be needed. If you were instructed to do something then follow the instructions carefully ... otherwise you wait patiently.

@Critter gave good advice.

The IRS just started processing all the returns with EIC & ACTC this weekend and it will take a few days to plow thru the millions in the pile.

If you were instructed to do something then follow the instructions carefully ... otherwise please wait patiently.

There are many issues that can delay refunds, including ones over which the IRS has no control. Here are the top three categories:

Administrative requirements

Earned Income Tax Credit and/or an Additional Child Tax Credit. If you filed in February or earlier and claimed either of these credits, the 2017 PATH Act requires processing to be delayed.
Form 8379 (Injured Spouse Allocation). If you included this form on your return, it can take 11–14 weeks to process.
Form 1040-X (Amended Return). If you amended your return, it can take 12–16 weeks to process.
Refund offset. The IRS may have discovered you have delinquent debts, which they're legally required to deduct from your refund. You'll receive a notice about the offset.

Missing, inconsistent, or suspect information

The IRS found errors, inconsistencies, or missing info on the return. For example, you and a former spouse both claimed the same child as a dependent.
The return is under review, which can happen randomly.
The IRS suspects identity theft or fraud.

Only the IRS would be able to tell you about the status of your refund.

If the website doesn't provide info, you could try calling them or visit your local IRS office.

If you claimed the EIC or CTC on your return, that can delay processing.
