The IRS will start processing returns on January 23, 2017. Until then, any returns that have been e-filed will sit there on the server. If you are seeking the Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS will not issue your refund before February 15, 2017, which means it cannot arrive in your account before February 27, 2017 or later.

Even if you do not have dependents, and are not claiming EIC, you are still subject to the same processing dates as the rest of the population. Sorry.
