"2024 Child Tax Credit: What You Need to Know"

Taxpayers claiming the child tax credit or earned income tax credit may experience delays in receiving their refunds, with most additional child tax credit-related refunds expected to be available in bank accounts or on debit cards by Feb. 27 if taxpayers choose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. The IRS cannot issue refunds involving the additional child tax credit before mid-February due to the need to prevent fraudulent refunds, and taxpayers can check their personalized refund date using the Where's My Refund? tool.
