Early Filers – You Will See A Delay In Your Refund

Congress passed a law last year that requires the IRS to HOLD all tax refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until February 15, 2020, regardless of how early the tax return was filed. So, if you file on the first day, you might still be waiting until February 15 for your refund.

The IRS tweeted this year that people held up by this delay should expect WMR to update on February 22 with direct deposit dates, assuming there are no other problems with the tax returns. We expect the actual direct deposits to arrive the last week of February, similar to previous years.

​The goal of this is to cut down on fraud and give the IRS time to ensure no duplicate returns are filed. The trouble is, the IRS will hold your entire tax refund, not just the EITC or ACTC part.
(Hopefully tomorrow Feb 22nd will be a deposit waiting for us early/test batch filers and pathers) also for the past 3 years my deposits always were on the 22nd no matter what day I filed,accepted or processed and WMR never updated until days after so just from my experience I thought I share with you guys 😁
