Will a child tax credit hold my refund the same as EITC and or ACTC would tell February 15,2017?

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

No.  The Child Tax Credit will not cause your tax refund to be held by the IRS until mid-February.  Only EIC and/or the ACTC will cause the tax refund to be held by the IRS.

However, the IRS will not start accepting returns until Jan 29.  After that, most refunds are issued within 21 days.
