No, not everyone's. Only if you filed for EITC or ACTC, both tax credits, and filed early. This same act is the reason I had to bust my ass and process over $4 mil of 1099's by January 31st. This is all because of people cheating on their taxes. As a business we used to be able to report until end of February but then when people would file early it was hard to verify against employer records. So now instead of just W-2s needing to be mailed out by January 31 st, a business must also report any 1099 s as well. The IRS placed a hold on refunds until the 1 5th to have time to get an employers documentation to confirm what you have reported to catch more cheaters. Anyone who files after the hold date will be fine.
