Taxpayers who claimed the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) or Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) can expect their refunds by March 3, 2025. However, some may receive payments earlier, depending on processing times and banking schedules.
The IRS recommends checking the “Where’s My Refund?” tool or the IRS2Go app for updates, as refund statuses are updated daily. Refunds cannot be issued before mid-February due to federal regulations.
To avoid delays, taxpayers should file early, use trusted professionals, and be mindful of banking holidays that could impact deposit timing.
