Nothing, as long as your return has been accepted. You wouldn't need to amend your return for this, and the difference of one day would not change your eligibility for any deductions or credits. See the answer below from TurboTax ToddL:

Tring to see why my return is taking so long.

Your refund may get approved or the IRS may require you to verify your son's birthday.  We cannot say for certain, only the government knows.

 

The IRS typically issues refunds within 21 days.  Since it's been longer than 21 days since your return was accepted, we suggest contacting the IRS directly to inquire about this.  Go here for tips on reaching a live IRS agent when you call.

Is your status on the IRS Where's My Refund site showing as processing?

If so, the IRS is experiencing delays in the processing of returns due to a later than usual start to the tax season, a backlog of mailed returns, current tax season returns, and the current round of stimulus payments. 

Since it has been longer than 21 days since your return has been accepted, you can try to contact the IRS. For more information, see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

No, it will not delay your return if it was e-filed and accepted by the IRS.
