When do Child Tax Credit (CTC) returns get accepted? Hearing 2/17 but need confirmation

Anyone know when CTC returns start getting accepted for processing? Been hearing feb 17th floating around but want to confirm if thats accurate. Getting anxious waiting for my refund to hit

Amara Nwosu

The IRS started processing returns with CTC on January 29th, 2025. However, by law, they cannot issue refunds before mid-February for returns claiming EITC or Additional CTC. The earliest these refunds will hit bank accounts is February 17th, assuming there are no other issues with the return.

Regular CTC doesnt have the same delay. Only ACTC and EITC are affected by the mid-February rule 👍

Instead of trying to piece together when youll get paid, you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 and it reads your transcript to tell you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. saves so much time trying to guess https://taxr.ai
