-Now that IRS is accepting returns-

Here are few refund guidelines to consider:

💰 IRS Refund Release Timeline
Most IRS refunds are issued within 21 days after your return is accepted — not filed.

⚠️ Important:
Returns claiming the Earned Income Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) are legally held until mid-February due to IRS fraud-prevention rules.

📅 If you fall under this rule, refunds typically begin releasing late February, depending on IRS processing and your bank.

🖥️ You can monitor your refunds by using the app “Where’s My Refund”.

We appreciate the nomination for Best of the Lake. With the first round of voting ending on February 2, your vote would greatly support my team and me, and we would be grateful for your time.
