Millions of Americans who filed early for the 2026 tax season will face delays in receiving refunds due to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) hold. Federal law mandates this pause—refunds won't process before February 21, 2026, with most direct deposits arriving by March 2. The IRS's 'Where's My Refund' tool will provide updates starting February 21.

A March 2025 executive order now requires direct deposit for refunds, though paper checks remain a fallback. The delay, designed to combat fraud, underscores the need for filers to adjust financial planning. IRS CEO Frank Bisignano emphasized the tool's role as the primary tracking method this season.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
