Refund Dates And Delays

The IRS has recently announced the refund dates. Aside from the refund dates, they have also started sending tax refunds for 2023 from February 9, 2024, onwards for those whose e-file was approved by the IRS on January 29.

Those who claimed EITC/ACTC are not part of the announced refund dates as they may face a delay of up to two weeks. 90% of electronically filed refunds are typically received within twenty-one days according to the refund dates announced.

In line with the refund dates, direct deposits also began on February 9, 2024. However, those with errors in their e-file may experience delays that may not coincide with the announced refund dates, and refunds can take up to two weeks to process.

According to a published article by NCB, taxpayers who claim additional credits may have to wait longer than the announced refund dates. A schedule for refund dates has not been released yet, but a calendar based on past trends is provided.

Tax Season In The United States

In a published article by Marca.com, tax season is here in the United States, and many people look forward to receiving a tax refund.

If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), you can expect your refund by February 27 if you filed online and chose direct deposit.

Some may receive refunds earlier. Check the Wheres My Refund tool for a personalized date by February 17.
