I paid extra but the EITC applies to me so I wouldn't be getting it earlier?

Are you referring to the 5 Days Early option?

 

Due to PATH Act, the IRS holds refunds for EITC/ACTC customers until March 3.  You should still receive your refund 5 days early. This date is calculated based on 5 days prior to when the IRS releases your refund.

 

Here is more information on the 5 Day Early option: 5 Days Early

 

Please note: If your federal refund is deposited into your selected bank account less than 5 days before the IRS refund settlement date (the date it would have arrived if sent from the IRS directly), then you will not pay the 5 Days Early
