ACTC/EITC Refund Dates Unveiled

The IRS expects an ACTC/EITC refund dates on February 27. This date only applies to taxpayers who filed initial returns and had IRS refunds authorized by January 29, 2024. The table below shows that refund disbursement dates depend on tax return approval:

Direct deposit refunds take 5–7 days to appear in the recipient’s bank account. Paper checks arrive within 10–14 days.

The IRS’s ‘Where’s My Refund’ tool and ‘IRS2GO‘ mobile app allow taxpayers to monitor their refunds. By submitting their Social Security Number, Tax Year, Refund Amount, and Filing Status, individuals may track whether the IRS has received, authorized, or dispatched their return.
