      I received a CP05 letter today in mail stating I was under review and I needed to do nothing but wait and if I have not received my refund or another letter by April 26 to call Irs. Had anyone else experienced this ? If so, was it a long process and did u have to wait until the date on the letter to receive your refund ?

          Your story is very similar to mine, got my cpo5 letter today, from reading the posts looks like I may never see my return

            Hi, we filed our taxes in March, verified our identity on 4/3/18, the lady we verified with over the phone said we should receive our refund in 6 to 9 weeks. We received a CP05 letter on 4/12/18 that our refund is being reviewed and we would have a refund date by 5/24/18 (6 weeks from our verification date). I called the next day to ask what the letter meant and they said it was just verifying that we had done our identity and it went back into processing. We decided to wait the 9 weeks, since she said it could take that long after we didn’t receive anything by the 24th of May. It’s now been 13 weeks since we verified our identity, should I call the IRS to see what’s happening or is this happening to everyone who had to verify their identity? The IRS website doesn’t help and I can’t get anyone on the phone. Thank you

                I’m not sure if I’m posting this correctly. But I’ve been reading everyone’s stories and figured I’d tell mine.
                E-Filed 2/9
                Accepted 2/9
                Bars disappeared 2/18
                Received CP05 3/26 (45 days to end 5/10)
                Called 5/10 they said they had until the 19th to finish the review. Still nothing sent out nor did they ask for verification of anything. So I just waited….
                5/29 I called again and they said that they’ve had way more than enough time to finish the review and process it. So he was going to do the referral to release my refund and/or send me something letting me know whats going on. Which it could take another 60 days. 😣😣
                So my question is did you all have to wait the full 60 days after the referral for your refund? That puts me basically at the end of July. I’ve never had this happen and its extremely frustrating!!

                  We got an indentity verification letter at the end of February, and as we confirmed our identity I was told our refund was under review. We got our CP 05 letter in March. The letter says wait until May 10th. I called on the 11th, as my refund is still processing, and was told to wait until after May 26th, as there is a 60 day window before they can request a follow up to why review is taking so long.

                        Mine finally updated today and said it is set to release on 5/10 and if I don’t have by 5/15 contact irs. My friends that has the error 1541 still has not changed.

                            Hers is 1541 my apologies but it just says well there’s just too many we have delays pretty much. Nonsense

                              Has anyone gotten the error 1512? My friend that passed the 60 day period, hers updated as error 1512. Mine hasn’t changed, still says processing :-(

                                No I haven’t seen that. I hope they have. I just think it is crazy it is taking so long when there aren’t major issues. I knew mine was probably because of me using my last pay stub and w2 being different due to the insurance being pulled out that is why I quickly sent in amended. I just did not anticipate this taking the full time and it being such a long drawn out process. One of my friends had an issue and they told her 60 days then at the end of the 60 days they said they would send something over but that they had another 60 days to release the funds……

                                  Why is that bad? I’ve read where some people found out they haven’t even started the review period like the letter stated. Have you seen something else?

                                      Mine doesn’t even say the 152, just We have received your tax return and it is being processed. I know if day 60 hits and they haven’t done anything it is not going to be good.

                                        @jls825 yeah it tells me no return found when I check WMAR and my message on WMR has been it is still being processed since Feb with tt 152 and all my info on the left side I never received a error message code or anything. Oh wow that is awful they should just go ahead and release everyone’s money I mean all the crooks have already gotten theirs

                                          Mine showed up that they had received it pretty quick it has just said received for a long time. It doesn’t show amount on WMAR you just put in SSN, DOB and zip code. I did an amended return a few years ago and I received my regular return DD and then they mailed the check for the difference. When I check WMR I put in the amount that I filed originally and that is when it says processing. I don’t have any bars or error alerts it just says your return has been received and is being processed. When I try to put the filed amount and the amended amount it says error. It has been 7 weeks since they got my amended return. I assumed that would have helped my processing period but I guess not.

                                            @jls825 how long did it take for it to show up on WMAR ? I’ve read where people say they check the regular WMR and it shows their adjusted amount there. So instead of direct deposit it’s gonna be a check ?? You can’t be too sure maybe you will receive both around the same time frame

                                              @prettyladyte I totally agree. I am so frustrated. My amended return was accepted on 3/9 and still says processing. Amended returns can take up to 16 weeks to process and then a check is mailed…. I may get the small amount of my amended return before I actually get my return at this rate.

                                                  So I called my TA and left a message she hadn’t called back so I decided to call the TA hotline and spoke with someone who was able to view my case and told me my amended return was being processed as of 4/25 I sent it to my TA 4/16

                                                    I totally agree. When I looked at my transcripts it shows mine was actually processed on 2/26 and when I called a few weeks ago she said yes it is processed but they freeze the funds while they are reviewing it. I got the same spiel that they do not have the info on their end as to why it is being reviewed or where it is in the process but they are going in order. She said it doesn’t always take the full 60 days but I was off the phone already when I remembered the letter said 45 days on 4/26. So now we are looking at 5/10 and they will probably have another excuse then as well. It would be different if my CP05 letter had a code but all it says is held for review. It is completely wrong to hold without explanation.

THIS CANT BE RIGHT AS TAXPAYERS ITS OUR RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!! All the January/ February filers should have been received their refunds there’s no reason why everyone behind us has gotten theirs that is completely unacceptable and something needs to be done about all of this bullcrap!!!

                                                        I called and they said I needed to wait 60 days even though the letter says they would be finished with my review by today. BS. They don’t know anything. It’s all excuses and lies. They suck so bad and have no idea what they are doing. Some people on this site are getting letters after they already received their refunds! I filed on Jan 29 and accepted the next day. My CP05 letter was dated for March 12. What I want to know is why did the 45 day review start on March 12? What were they doing with my return from JANUARY 30 TO MARCH 12? And then then they still haven’t finished after 45 days from March 12??? And I have NO FREAKING IDEA why I’m under review? Don’t I have a RIGHT to know WHY I’m under review and WHY they are taking so long? And I can’t complain to anybody, I can’t get answers from anybody. It’s not like they have a customer service department. I know you guys feel me.

I put what my YTD was on last pay stub when I filed not thinking about how they deduct what I paid in on health insurance as my income for W2. So my initial return looked like I made $2000 more than what my W2 said. Which I ended up being due $544 more back with amended return. I told them I knew that was more than likely what the issue was that the amounts did not match and figured the amended return would hurry the process. Just wish they would give more information than well it is in processing….. you can check your amended return at https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

My 45 days is 4/26 and the 60 days is 5/10. My CP05 says after 45 days check in. I am going to wait until the 26th and see what updates there are. Please update what happens after 4/19 and see if anything happens after that. I have seen some that say the day the review is supposed to be up the bars show back up on where is my refund. I am hoping since I didn’t have any codes on my CP05 it simply said under review that it will be quick.

                                                                      • #4244832

Considered a TA, but after reading stories here it seems as though they are hit or miss. The last conversation with IRS, I learned that my review was up April 19. I will wait until then and then decide if a TA would be beneficial.

As I am still waiting for my review to be over with 4/26 I got a TA on 4/4 faxed amended return yesterday 4/16 so let’s see if I’ll update by the 26. If you haven’t gotten a TA it’s very likely that u should I believe it will help speed up the process

She was told that if she didn’t get hers by 4/13 to call. When she called on 4/13 she was told a letter was sent over to release her refund and they have 60 days to release her funds. I am hoping mine doesn’t fall under the same since I didn’t get an error. This is just crazy.

                                                                            • #4244721

It is so confusing. The irs agent I spoke to said they don’t always take 60 days but she couldn’t give me any definite information. My page still says processing and doesn’t have any alerts giving a number or code as to what is wrong it only says processing.

I filed on 1/19 and it was received 1/21 and started saying it was processing on 2/15. On where’s my refund it still says processing, there are no alerts. I sent an amended return in that they received 3/12. Just wish I knew if it was going to take until 4/26 or if I might get it sooner.
