I filed my return 1 month ago and it still says it's being processed? I have only filed my children and nothing more than I file every year?

Are you getting additional child tax credit or EIC? 

From the IRS:

“The IRS reminds taxpayers that, by law, the IRS cannot issue refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. While the IRS will process those returns when received, it cannot issue related refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return. “

My son's are 9 and 10 which I am the only one that have ever claimed them. My daughter is 3 and yes this is the first year I claimed her because her father lost his job a year ago
