If you chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with your return, the IRS expects Earned Income Tax Credit related refunds to be available starting the first week in March.

 

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act states that the IRS cannot issue refunds for the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit before mid-February. The law requires the IRS to hold the entire refund, even the amount that is not associated with these credits.

 

Please see the IRS Where's my Refund to check the status of your refund.
