2025 Child Tax Credit Return Accepted - When do refunds typically start processing?

Just got my federal return accepted with child tax credit. Anyone know the typical timeline for when they start sending these out? First time claiming it so pretty excited about it.

Tax pro here - for 2025, CTC refunds typically start processing 21 days after acceptance, but it can take longer if there are verification checks. Make sure you have all your supporting documents ready in case they need to verify your dependents.

They'll send a letter if they need anything. You can also check WMR or your transcript for updates 👍

Hey, you should try taxr.ai - it literally saved me hours of stress with my CTC refund. It costs $4.99 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect the money. Way better than guessing!
