Does anyone know if the EIC or child tax credit are included in the delay of fed returns being processed?

The dependent care credit (if claimed on Schedule 2 attached to Form 1040-A) was one of the delayed areas.





Many returns with EIC claims are being delayed if there are fraud flags on the return, such as dependents switching from one taxpayer to another or maximum EIC claims based upon undocumented self-employment income. There has been significant EIC fraud in recent years so the IRS is watching those claims much more closely.

Not with Jackson Hewitt... had my FED return within 48 hours.
Reply:No, the EIC and child tax credit are not included in the delay. It was just the child and dependent care credit.
Reply:No. It is the dependent care credit I believe
