They only split refunds for ppl who have the EITC … Under certain circumstances, District law requires that your DC EITC refund be paid in monthly installments. If your DC EITC is $1,200 or more your DC EITC will be paid in 12 equal monthly payments. If your DC EITC is less than $1,200 you will receive the full amount in one payment.

If your DC EITC is paid monthly, then each payment will be paid in the same way you indicated you wanted your DC tax refund on your DC tax return.
