If you are waiting for a refund and claimed the earned income tax credit or additional child tax credit, the IRS won't issue those refunds until around Feb. 28 or a few days earlier. The agency explains on its website that by law they can't issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February

The IRS typically takes 21 days to issue your refund after your re-filed return is accepted.

Some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:

Is incomplete
Needs further review in general
Is affected by identity theft or fraud
Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit

Here is a useful link that includes the link to track your refund:

@Rex11 Nobody who included the EIC or Advance earned income in their tax return will receive a refund until late February.
