Only the IRS controls when or if you receive a tax refund.

The IRS will not start processing any type of 2018 tax return until on or after 01/28/19.  The IRS has a target of getting tax refund processed within 21 days after receiving the tax return.  This is a target only and not a guarantee.  Your tax refund could take more time or less time.

If you have included in your tax refund EIC or ACTC (Additional Child Tax Credit) the IRS is required to hold the tax refund until mid-February due to the PATH Act passed by Congress.  Those refunds are released by the end of February.
