Some refunds will be held up by the IRS.
Filers who are claiming the earned income tax credit as well as taxpayers claiming the refundable child tax credit will have to wait until Feb. 27 before their refunds are deposited into their bank accounts.
And for these individuals who choose not to have their refunds directly deposited, the wait will be even longer.
These are part of the measures to help detect tax identity theft and refund fraud could also result in delays.
