If you claim the **Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)** or the **Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC)**, your refund may be delayed due to additional identity verification requirements. By law, the IRS cannot issue refunds for these credits before mid-February.
For most taxpayers who claim the EITC or ACTC and file electronically with direct deposit, the IRS expects refunds to be available by **March 3, 2025**. However, some taxpayers may receive their refunds a few days earlier.
To check the status of your refund, use the IRS's "Where's My Refund?" tool, which provides personalized information about your refund's progress. The tool is updated every 24 hours, usually overnight.
Please note that if you file a paper return or if there are issues with your return, processing may take longer. Additionally, your financial institution may require additional time to process direct deposits, especially if they do not operate on weekends or holidays.
For more detailed information, refer to the IRS's official guidance on EITC and ACTC refunds.
