Injury victims waiting on a settlement are going to have to wait even longer to see money from their lawsuit or or injury cases.
Injured plaintiffs out of work and with no income just got hurt again. This time by the IRS.

How long until I see my 2017 tax return check?

On purpose,  IRS is delaying the income tax refunds for those who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. Those who filed returns early in hope of getting some quick cash will be disappointed.  For some people, especially injury victims out of money and waiting on a settlement check,  it may be the biggest check they see all year.  The delay is caused by an audit the IRS is doing to verify the identities of those who claim the tax credits. The IRS says it will start issuing deposits and check as early as February 27, 2017.
The delayed distribution with income tax refunds will certainly hurt low-income families and plaintiffs waiting on a settlement, many of who will rely on what little they have to simply pay for day-to-day items and keep up with bills, and possibly the economy. 29 million families received earned income credits, totaling more than $72 billion in 2014.  Without that tax return money, some families will cut back even further on spending until later in the year.
