There are no guarantees with the I.R.S this year, but one thing is for sure: The earlier you file, the earlier you will receive a return.

Were you accepted but not approved, find out what that means.
What is the 2018 Refund Schedule?
The IRS used to release a Refund Schedule annually. This allowed all taxpayers to know exactly when their 2018 tax refund would be delivered to their bank. The IRS then stopped doing the Refund Cycle Chart and just gives everyone the same jargen about 21 days after tax return acceptance. We then started our own tax schedule based on prior year refund dates and comments from our Facebook followers. We have been releasing our own version of the IRS Refund Schedule since 2012 now and RefundSchedule.com is definitely the most reliable source for the 2018 Refund Schedule.

I file on da 16th of January which was my first time filing so early. I check the IRS website and they receive my information. I was on da first line for three days and after that I got da paragraph. Do you know who long it will take now for my refund
Hi Jasmine that is how mines was so i called the irs and asked why did it do that and they went on to explain those who have the EIC or Child Tax Credit will receive theirs mid- February then when I asked what date would that be she said they would be processed on the 15th but the funds will not be released til the 27th! Although I been following the refund page on facebook and I see people saying they have received theirs already so Im confused this year they doing to much
My Arkansas state taxes were accepted on January 23, 2018 but I still haven’t received anything. I set up for direct deposit. We did claim EIC and Federal was accepted on the 22nd . I heard that taxes won’t be released for anyone claiming EIC until Feb 27th 2018 but does that apply to State taxes as well??
I know SO MANY people that had already got their returns back that had the child tax credit, they got it within days.. I am in Oklahoma and wondering the same as you.. this is just so crazy.
No the State has nothing to do with Federal. Every year I get my State taxes before Federal. I filed January 22, 2019 I just got my State refund yesterday.
I filed mine jan5th and they accepted my return on Jan 17th when will I get mine I need it bad
I filed on the 13th, accepted on the 17th, estimated date was today feb. 7.. Wtf irs
same here. I was supposed to receive it on February 9 and didn’t.
I filed on Feb 03,2018 it was accepted within 10 minutes but is stuck in accept , has not moved . the chart says sent to bank 2/16 but I am confused as to why the return still has not been approved.
I know IRS is holding all returns if there is an earned income credit and child tax credit. You may want to check after the 14th of February.
Hi Beth,
I have a similar situation, but without the status of the bank situation. I filed on Feb 2, it was accepted within minutes by the irs. The system stated that I would receive my return by Feb 23rd. I was recently told that, if you filed EIC or Child Tax Credit, they will issue by Feb27th. I heard that the IRS is behind on so many refunds right now. Also, there were many individuals who filed after me, have since received their refund and filed EIC/CTC. I guess every situation is a bit different depending your household, etc. This is the first year that I have had to go through this situation, when I know my taxes were prepared correctly.
Same here I filed on Feb 2, I’m still on the first bar when I checked and I know my mine was correct It was done at the IRS office this makes no sense when I filed my own for the last 5 years my taxes was never late and I mailed those in.
Hi name Is Mia I from Delaware… I applied on January 19th and accepted on the 22nd… im on the confuse ship myself.. Why haven’t the irs started this delaying refunds when they pass the law back in 2015? last year I applied on January 20th and received my refund on February 1st and I claimed EITC last year too… This doesn’t make sense too me… Im HOPEFUL I GET IT WAY BEFORE FEBRUARY 27TH THIS YEAR!!!
I filed 1/31/18 with my 2 biological kids, EIC and ACTC plus itemized deductions from my business getting tax topic 152 response and thats it….where is my taxes and what is that 152 topic about ?
me too still nothing i’ve been in processing for like 3 weeks i filled on jan 31 also with schedule C and EIC credit
Filed on the 29th and I’m still awaiting what’s going on with my lil bit of taxes man….
Irs has released EIC and ACTC today but giving monday holiday give it a couple days more to hit banks
Irs has released EIC and ACTC today but giving monday holiday give it a couple days more to hit banks Irs is getting them out
I filed mine February 3rd and have heard nothing what so ever. What’s really going on?
If I e filed my taxes on the 6th ,when will I get It???
Me and my husband filed feb 3rd, and we still have one bar. My tax prepare told us on Friday that it is between now and next Thursday feb 22nd, 2018. And we filed 3 of our kids, So i pray that we all have something on this week.
When I go to check my taxes on where is my refund at first I got the bar now all I get after entering my info is what is the approximate date filed? Why is that? I also filed EIC.
I filed January 20th and my state refund wasn’t accepted until February 7th, it’s been stuck on accepted since then and according to this chart I should have received it February 16 and didn’t. What’s going on and when should I receive it?
THEY ARE SENDING OUT CHECKS SOME WILL RECEIVE THEIR ON THE 22 OF FEB
I filed my return on the Jan 12 I don’t know when they received it my return being processed what it means it finished processed just waiting on approved to get a date of the refund
Filed on the 8th topic 152. Still hanging out with 1 Bar.
I have been waiting on mines too. i filed on the 23rd of january and they accepted on jan. 24, 2018. How long is they going to make us wait for something that is ours. We work all year for them to take taxes out of our pay check and they make us wait to get our money back. They are full of shit. I still waiting and checking to see. All I got to say give us our refunds cause we all needed it.
Same here. I filled in Jan 30th and it was accepted same day. Said I should get it feb 20th. But once I called they said that since I have EIC on there that I have to wait 45days from 2/15 to possibly get it. My nieces had EIC on theirs and they got their returns already. And I claimed EIC last year and I got mine early feb. so something is going on with the Irs I say
Hi Mariah,
I agree with you. It is truly sad that we work all through the year and have to wait for someone to give us money that we worked for with rules at that. You have the same situation as my niece, she filed on Jan 31 with EIC/CTC and has already rcvd her tax return. Your information seems more accurate from what I’ve been hearing, but why process some with the same tax status and make others wait? It’s really doesn’t make any sense and it appears they are buying time for excuses.
I filed on Jan 31st ans mines is still being processed …. never had this issue before. I called today and they stated that mines was randomly pulled for a 45 day review as of february 15th and i should know something by April 1st has this happened to any one else. the 152 topic is still up there
I filed on the 29th and people that filed after me are getting their refunds before me and that’s with child tax credits.. I’m not understanding this!!! My tax rep. is telling me I should have received it already!!
Where My Refund has went from showing the lines to a simple 2 sentences. You are still being processed and a date will be added when they get though processing. WTF!!!!! Its been processing for 3 weeks. Come on IRS. What is going on?
I filed my taxes on Jan 30 and was accepted the same day. I claimed one kid this year and here it is the 23 of Feb and still have not received anything stating that it was approved. I know serval people who have filed a day before me that had claimed one kid and they got theirs back on the 22. Like what is taking mine forever?
I e filed my taxes on 1/29/18 and they were accepted 1/30/18. I received my federal 2/23/18 but all state says for Iowa is that it has been accepted and it has now been 26 days and I have direct deposit. What is going on? I only claimed one child and I do this every year.
I filed electronically and it was accepted on the same day January 31st. Due to earned income credit and child tax credit causing delays, I wanted to get this in right away. I did this through turbo tax. I eventually received $89 from the state tax return but my federal tax refund is still showing ‘processing’ I am very annoyed that I can only read information that if you filed those two credits you would have to wait til Feb 15th.. well.. It’s the last day in February and, I have received nothing yet. Upon calling I finally spoke to someone who told me that they need 45 days from February 15th to process.. which brings us to April 1st. I don’t understand why this is taking until April 1st. 3 months??? filing electronically? through turbo tax ? exact same filing status for 2 previous years as this and there shouldn’t be any delay. My children are verifiable and my income was lower this year than last year but with the same job/company. I filed exactly the same way the two previous years.. so, why is this taking so freaking long? Like many, behind in bills and almost out of food here but that apparently is not the right criteria for any tax advocate to step in. Told this is ‘normal’ it’s not normal! I have never had to wait 3 months to get my refund! Why now ? when I go to these boards in google searching as to why this is taking so long I see so many people complaining about the same thing yet there is no resolution nobody to file a complaint with. It makes me wonder why post anything if nobody can do anything about it!
I filed Jan 30th n its still being processed… N what is EIC?…I use my semione card for D.D cause I thought I’d be easier and I still haven’t received nothing or moved from that processing part. This is the longest I’ve not gotten it. Not sure if its cause of the card I chose to use this year or the IRS…the guy who files my taxes every year he keeps telling me everything is fine there just taking a while. Which I don’t understand. A friend of mine filed just the same way I did n she got hers D.D 3 weeks ago she said…so I’m getting worried.
I filed Jan 31 bars disappeared…..now just says still processing tax topic 152. I have EIC from my 2 Bio children and schedule C. I have been told by irs Rep that I’m in further review processing. HELP ANYONE had this before?
I filed my taxes on February 5th, I received my federal on February 22nd. But not my State I’m kinda wondering what is going on, I did call the number and it said it was received but they are still reviewing it. I don’t know if the delay is. Last year I got my federal and state on the same day.
I filed on 1/31/18 and accepted same day it’s 3/7/18 and still no refund and IRS where’s my refund is still saying the same message, we received your tax return and it is still being processed and there is no bars at all on where’s my refund tool. Please help me
Filed mine Feb 15 received state return four days later. Still saying waiting on return date
Does anyone know if the Eitc delay affects later filers? My was accepted same day April 12 and week later is still processing 1 bar. Can I expect a longer delay? Or should it be regular by this time? Thanks!
Anyone had any updates on their returns? IRS is now stating they get an additional 60 days to process “worst case scenario”.
