This is my first time filing with a dependent. My baby was born last June. February the 24th was the 21st day since I filed my taxes. Just worried it will be delayed.

@mrclhendrix -   Your return will  be processed according to the current refund policy.  Returns with dependents and Earned Income credit are slated to be processed.

 

Hey this is your lucky day!!  IRS says:

If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), you can expect to get your refund March 1 if:

• You file your return online
• You choose to get your refund by direct deposit

By law, IRS  can’t issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This includes your entire refund, not just the part that’s related to the credit you claimed on your tax return.

 

If you claim the EITC or ACTC, IRS may need more information from you about your return. If they do, they will send you a letter.

How to Track Your Refund

Check the status of your refund:

• Where’s My Refund

How much longer do you suggest I wait before contacting the IRS?
