If you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) on your tax return, the IRS must hold your refund until at least February 15.

This was straight from the IRS website. I just wanted everyone to know what was out there on the website so no one is shocked by the amount of time it takes to get a refund. They said most would be refunded in 21days, but if you have these credit it will be at least feb. 15th.

While the IRS will begin to issue EITC/ACTC refunds starting Feb. 15, you should not count on actually seeing your refund until the week of Feb. 27 -- if you chose direct deposit or a debit card and there are no processing issues with your tax return.
