          Has anyone had this happen?
          I filed my taxes 3/24 through Was supposed to get my return 4/12. Didn’t called a week later was told I was on a 45 day hold, called on day 50 got told 60 more days. My car got repod because I couldn’t pay for it. Got a TA, they weren’t helpful, they wanted an amended return but didn’t state the reason and wouldn’t answer questions…then the IRS sent me a thing explaining the delay. I signed it and sent it back in August, its now Nov and I still haven’t received anything got a letter for another 60 day wait.
          Will I ever get my money?

            I filed mid Feb. Received a 45 day letter. Before my 45 days was up, I received a 60 day letter stating they need 60 to work on my account. Well 60 days passed and I heard nothing from them. Called on June 3, was told to wait 30-45 days to hear something from them. Well I got another 60 day letter in the mail and now I’m sitting here waiting yet again. Ever since this fool has been in office, things have been messed up. I have never had issues with my taxes before. This is some bulls#!t. We are out here struggling to make ends meet and some of us actually depend on getting taxes to stay afloat. I’m am so beyond this tax season. They don’t hesitate to take money out of our taxes every time we earn money. Why should we have to jump through hoops and hound the IRS office about getting our money back, that WE have paid in? This makes no sense. So, I’m along with everyone else with this waiting game. UGH

                I have been watching quietly and finally since feb.6 got a ddd on Friday for today and I wake up to no ddd in my account or pending transaction do anyone know how long it takes for the money to hit your account? I know it’s still early in the morning but will it be there anytime today?

                  I sent my tax advocate a copy of my last paystub as requested. She received it and had been working on it apparently, but unfortunately I am so broke right now I could even afford to pay my phone bill for almost a week. I left her my mother’s phone and told her she could talk to her about it if she needs to get a hold of me this week. OF COURSE she calls Monday, my mom, and doesn’t tell her any personal info. I called her back, left a message letting her know again she can talk to my mom about ithe and I’ll get the message… or I will have my phone service restored by Thursday (today)… she has yet to call back again but my refund status hasn’t changed so I’m assuming she was calling to give more excuses and wait time.

                  I filed 2/21 and have been homeless and living in my car with my family because we can’t afford a few thousand dollar deposit on an apartment without that return. This is awful.

                      @Mike
                      Same here. I called today after two 60day letters & they said they are waiting for income verification from employer. I called employer and basically made me feel the same as if I was crazy for asking them if they could send income verification to IRS. said they’ve never had that problem before with any other of their employees. I couldn’t even try to provide a number or adress because IRS told me “employer should know where to send it”. I called irs again & next person told me that it’s not necessarily income verification & that it could be ANYTHING else they may be verifying. So then I felt dumb for calling employer and request that. A TA will be contacting me within 5 buisness days. Hopefully she can help me find a solution. It’s frustrating & seems like a huge mess with them.

                        Well, I filed January 27, got the 45 day letter, never Anything after that, but it turned into what everyone else has dealt with, I got sick of waiting around and the IRS kept telling me to just hang tight. I got a TA, very nice woman. she’s doing everything in her power to help me out. Turns out all it is, is one of my employers didn’t verify my wages, (I still work here) I told them about it and they told me I was crazy and there is nothing they can do, when all they have to do is write a letter saying I worked for them last year and tell them what I made, then sign it. Problem would be solved. They won’t do that because they are scared to I guess. ( the boss of the company has gone to prison for tax fraud ) I’ll let you guys laugh at that. So pretty much what it has come to is I sent in every pay stub I had from last year, and it should work, Ill find out this week. Sadly if it does not work, what the IRS will do is end up auditing me, which I mean I don’t care cause I have nothing to hide, I do my taxes the same every year, and nothing changes. So what ever. The company that is screwing me now though, they will get theirs… they hide a lot. Not to include that they pay under the table over time after 40 hours, and it’s just straight time, which is illegal. So sorry for the long story, guys find out if all your wages were reported, one of my friends had the same problem! It’s going around! This job of mine wasn’t even reported to social security cause I called them to!

                          I have been looking at this forum for a few months and I have learned alot. I filed 2/7 was accepted the next day, I received the 45 day letter and the 60 day letter. Went through all of that and still nothing. I got a TA some time in may who is awesome and is really trying to help me. I had to have surgery cervical spinal fusion so that was my hardship. He told me I had to send in my W-2 to him and a letter from my employer. being that I had to have emergency surgery couldn’t out it off anymore that should make them move faster because I can’t work rite now and have two small kids. I sent in my amended return on may 31 and he had me put a special code on it being that they already had looked at it previously. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to get it and for it show up in there computer system?

                            I appreciate the kind words redacted. I’ve talked with all the local churches and they offer old food and a “resource list” – all of which we have gone to and applied for. We are on waiting lists for housing and such but some are 1 to 2 even up to 4 years. It’s unreal. Everyone offers food, but it’s stuff like rice and beans which we have no easy to prepare in the car without an oven (or even a microwave) or fruit and veggies which is mainly what we exist on. Diapers sometimes are offered but for some reason they never have my sons size, they tend to be really small which means I have to change him constantly or he wets thru, and it makes him very prone to rashes. Every little detail just.. is a struggle.

                            I contacted the congressman about my tax situation asking him for his help and a handwritten thank you note in hopes he would do something. He emailed me back, had me sign a privacy release form so I did and returned it to his office in my town. He replied to me that he looked into it, and that the IRS still has yet to complete the review of my case… (I know this! So make them review it instead of just leaving me in the dark!!! Jeeze.) and he will contact me when he receives more information on my case.

                            So.. idk? I guess even the congressman has decided I just have to wait for the IRS to do whatever. Just unbelievable. I can’t live like this for months more. And I have a baby coming in october.. I can’t be homeless, living in a car with a newborn and a toddler. This needs to be resolved, like now.

                              Any, I’m so very sorry for your struggle! If I had my refund in my hands I swear you and your family wouldn’t be homeless!! I’ll keep praying for you girl, your struggle has truly inspired me. I wish there was something more I can offer. Unfortunately, I’m a single dad, my lady passed away of cancer and although I’m blessed to make good money, unfortunately, I don’t make enough I can just send it off as I have to take care of my kiddos , god forbid should I get sick myself.

                              This isn’t redacted B talking to you, this is the real Martin. I swear girl if I could I’d help you and your family!

                              I wish I had more to offer right now. Call a church. Call those annoying Jehovas Wittness bastards and those girly ass Mormons that annoy us all so much. Surely they can help your family!!

                              I promise your all in my prayers and thoughts!!

                                Yeah, still nothing for me. Finally got in touch with a tax advocate who said it’s very clear to her what the issue is on my return and that the IRS should have been able to tell me what the issue is.. that’s frustrating beyond belief. I called the IRS on the 22nd day since I filed, I was told 45 day review and called back the 46th day of that. Told 60 days review. I called on that 60 days. Then posted here, a few days before that 60 days would be up. I SPECIFICALLY LITERALLY ASKED THE IRS IF I CAN SEND THEM DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD HELP SPEED UP THE PROCESS IF THEY NEED ANY MORE INFO. I am honest, I have no issue providing any proofs, ID, documents, anything. I told them this every single call!!!!! The IRS told me that there was NOTHING I COULD DO and to JUST WAIT. Now this tax advocate is saying they should’ve told me they’re missing info and if I sent it, would have expedited the process.

                                She’s saying Social Security didn’t get my W2 from one of my two employers last year, and that’s supposedly the cause of the entire hold up. ARE YOU SERIOUS? Something that I had no control over, and didn’t know anything about.. and the IRS refused to tell me!!! I’m supposed to just… keep waiting???? Ridiculous! They have my employers tax ID # as well as every info I provided them with. There is no way they can’t look up the info using the tax ID #.. that’s one of the many reasons it’s a thing. So they’re holding this up over a piece of paper!!!!! Paper they have the info from already!!! So my tax advocate said to fax over my last paystub from them and the accountants info and she will send it to IRS and move along the process.

                                AKA it’s still going to be weeks!!!!! Especially because I don’t have access to that last paystub right now and the front desk keeps answering my call and “taking a message” and insists they will call back but they aren’t doing it. I need them to send me a new copy of that stub in the mail. But they won’t even contact me. I live 10 hours away from there now as I moved out of state… and am currently homeless. Over a piece of fcking paper.

                                      To everyone “under review”….we filed in mid February, received cp05 45day review letter April 1st, three days later received 60day review notice. Review was up June 3rd, we received another letter stating it would be up to 60 more days. On June 8th where’s my refund showed we have a direct deposit date of June 12th, with $90 and change interest added to our return. We never called, never got an advocate, just continued GOING TO WORK, and figured since we were honest and made no mistakes they would sort it out and it was money in the bank eventually. Patience is a virtue, folks. Good luck.

                                              Received notice on 4/4 that was under a 60 day review. Review was up 6/4. Called 6/5 and got someone with such a thick accent you couldn’t understand but every third word if you were lucky. By the way I had already called 3x’s prior. The first time I called the person I spoke with told me that they didn’t have one of the w-2’s that I filed – the company didn’t report it. Called again a few weeks later and this person told me that I shouldn’t have been told that and it wasn’t necessarily the case and it could be under review for other reasons. Called again in May got someone who told me again that particular employer info was missing (from the employer filing side), she told me time was up 5/20. Asked what would happen once it was up and she told me they would process my return without that w-2 and I would get more money back. Called 5/21 and that person told me 60 days wasn’t up til 6/4 since that is when I received the LAST letter. He also explained to call back and request an escalation once the 60 days had passed As I said I called 6/5 and got the biggest idiot with such an accent. I explained to him the whole history and told him I wanted this escalated. He told me a letter was sent 5/12. I insisted it was NOT. I had him read the letter and it was bizarre about how they were checking this and that and this credit and that – I even explained I did NOT have the credit he was referencing in the letter. It also said they could call others to verify – who the hell are they calling???!!! I then asked for this letter to be remailed to me. He put me on hold for 18 minutes (we had now been on the phone over a damn hour) and came back to tell me he was escalating my request since the 60 days had passed – he was submitting a referral to the department that is holding up my refund. I said wait – what about the letter. He told me to disregard that he was incorrect – which I had already told him. So he “escalates” to this ghost department that is holding up my return and then I get informed that they have 60 days to either issue my refund or send me another damn letter. WTF???!!!!! Of course being that this guy was an idiot from the beginning and therefore I couldn’t take him at his word on what he was saying. I called again yesterday 6/6 and spoke with yet another person. She explained that yes it had been escalated with the referral to this “no name” department and that they had another 60 days. I said what happens when I still have NOTHING after yet this bogus 60 days. She said they then send you to an advocate who will work to get your refund. I asked how long that takes. She said she couldn’t provide a time frame. I asked will I get it this year, next year, etc> Her asinine response “I can neither confirm nor deny”. I have group legal through my employer and am going to speak with a tax attorney because I am tired of this run around and each time you contact the IRS you get a completely different answer.

                                                                I just wanted to add to the threads of frustration after reading some of these replies. I filed in February and after waiting 21 days I called to inquire and I was told that I was under a 60 day review. I them waiting 60 days before calling back which was around May 18th. They told me that day that my return would take another 60 days to review. The notice was sent out on the 15th but I have yet to receive anything in the mail. At this point I feel like they tell people the same thing regardless of the situation. If you are going through the same thing just know you aren’t the only one. I tried calling a TA but I haven’t received call back yet. This has never happened to me before and I’m beyond frustrated. I wouldn’t waste my time calling the IRS because they won’t tell you anything you want to hear.

                                                                  I don’t understand how everyone is getting a TA. I have called my “local” one (the only one in my state) every single day since posting here. Leaving a message. They say will.be back within 1 business day and I have yet to get a call back. Again, I’m calling and leaving a message every day with my info. Considering going thru the federal one but I read they don’t help, just like IRS, and must get a local one to do anything. This is just a nightmare and a half. Life is so awful right now. If they would just send my check, I could get back to living a proper life.

March 25th received a letter saying I was under a 45 day review 3 days later I received another letter stating that they needed an additional 60 days o called the IRS hotline to see if they can give me a reason why they just said that I have to wait it out I reached out to an tax advocate in April and she told me my wages dont add up an W2 was missing so my old employer faxed over my information to my tax advocate twice and I even mailed it to her also. Everytime I called no answer nor a returned of call everyone on here is saying get a tax advocate but my experience have been a nightmare I am still waiting. Then last week I finally received a letter from my tax advocate and she is claiming she never got anything and will be dropping my case on May29th. SO OVER THIS WHOLE TAX SEASON

Me on the other had a hard time figuring out how to fill in the 1040x. But every thing is ok now lol. Gonna give my TA a call on Tuesday just in case I’m missing something.

                                                                      • #4328415

Calling her on tomorrow to see where I should fill in on the paper work. A lot of people have stated that they received their refund much sooner with a TA. So I’m crossing as much parts of my body as I can in hopes that I receive what I worked hard for. As I really need that money RIGHT NOW!

Being young and having a rough start out on living is harder than I thought. But me and my husband are making the. Best of it. Praying for better and brighter days.

Had a baby last April, so I am expecting that bonus plus I made under 10k last year due to not working because late pregnancy and baby. Filed HoH, not married (engaged..) Still waiting too, got the 45 day review (found out by calling IRS after 22 days of filing) and that got completed apparently 4/4… earlier than the expected 45 days (would’ve coincidentally been my sons birthday, April 28th).. however they want a another 60 days from letter, making that June 4th. I really hope it’s here by then.

                                                                                      I moved to a new state in August. I had no idea the rental market is ridiculous here, they want perfect credit 700+ as well as thousands for security deposit and first month rent.. and they have to like you as a person. They say there is a 1% rental rate. I had no clue til I got here with my family. We brought a little money, and my credit is good but fiance has old medical bills. Our last rental from the other state refuses to talk with any other managers because they are shady AF and didnt have beat relations towards the end of tenancy. We haven’t been able to get approved for anywhere to live here in the new state. My fiance, my 1 year old son, and I have been living in the car for the past about 10 months, sleeping in parking lots and rest stops. I am also expecting another in a couple months (we had no idea we would still be in this boat)… all we need is the return to pay off fiance bills and have enough for deposit and first months rent in a place (and maybe haircut and some new clothes too? we last got turned down for being obviously homeless.. no other good reason. We were applying as we thought the return would be here soon)..

                                                                                      I’m so tired of waiting and living like this. My poor son needs a place to walk. He’s strapped in a car seat 24/7 pretty much and I’m pregnant and miserable. I don’t even know how fiance is going to work daily10 hour shifts to support us and not breaking completely.

                                                                                      Please. Send the stupid refund already. For the love of…

The national ones provided by the IRS are no better than the idiots you can talk to by dialing the IRS 800#

The lady who I contacted was EXTREMELY nice and understood my situation. That same night I got well needed sleep after going back and forth with the IRS. My TA is suppose to call me back in a few days. I’m just ready to end this nightmare. I’m so sick of this. First the 45 day review than the 60 day. Like at this point I don’t care what I get. I just give me my well earned money that I worked hard for.

Received cpo5 letter March 10 (45 day review) it’s been well past 45 days. So I called today and they told me the “service department” said I needed to wait an additional 60 days starting today! Wtf is that all about?

They ask you if you are going through a financial hardship, but you don’t have to give any documents to prove it. I’ve been waiting since 02/04/19 only to find out the last time someone was actually in my file was 03/14/19 when they mailed my out my 60 day letter, I filled out a form and faxed it over to get someone (TA) to look at what’s wrong with my taxes and I was contacted back in a few days. Then he said he can manually go in and expedite my taxes. So if you been waiting, stop waiting and call to get a TA to look over your file. That’s the only way you will know something. I’ve been waiting all this time only to find out i had to amend my taxes, and if you went through Turbo Tax they have the form so all you do is print it off , sign, and mail it. I hope this helps someone

Makes under the poverty level working two part time jobs. She filed in January and she has been getting the same run around you all are. Waits the initial 21 days, nothing. Gets slammed with the 45 day review, waits, nothing. Calls and gets told to just wait out the review. Gets letters saying no action required, under review. Waits 45 days again. Calls again today and is told she is now under a 60 day review. THERE IS NOTHING TO REVIEW. The government is screwing everyone over and there’s nothing you can do about it. Taxes are extortion.

Call the IRS yesterday waited 30mins to get in touch with someone just for the first rep to tell me I’m on a 60 day review blah blah blah. My curiosity got the best of me. After I got off the phone with the first rep,I called again. Waited and was than told Im on a 45 DAY REVIEW!! WTF!! I’m also a struggling mother with 3 kids with another on the way. The IRS is BS. Just got off the phone with a TA and it was the best thing I ever did! She told me what was wrong. Get a TA y’all. I swear the IRS won’t tell you sh*t diddly squat and will make you wait the whole 60 days before you know about anything. This will likely be my last Tax year. I’m tired of these people screwing me around.

I called…they said oh we will send this over to processing, please allow them 60 days to respond to this. If you don’t hear from them by July 16th then call 800-829-0922. LIKE WTF! I’m a single mom of two kids, I don’t get child support, I also support my mother and little sister. Everyone lives in my house and all on my salary. I need this and they are screwing around! I swear the country is probably so broke they can’t pay us back for what we paid in so they just keep doing this. I changed my tax withholding to exempt. Screw the IRS, they can just deduct what I’ll owe for 2019 from the money they owe me. I’m so done with the US BS. They aren’t getting any more tax money from me. I’m done!

Waited the full 21 days called the IRS to be told I’m getting a letter. (I didn’t count weekends idk if that makes a difference) 3/29 get 2 letters dated 3/25 45 day and 60 day, no action needed we’ll contact you letters So I figured out how to do the transcript and check that MF every Wednesday and Saturday. No updates yet. Pretty much giving up on ever getting it. Tried a tax advocate line today. Transfer 3 times to wait 49 minutes hearing all representatives are busy helping others. Then please hold till we connect you. To get: due to technical difficulties you call can mot be answered try again later and hangs up.

This is the first time this had ever happened to me. I have been at my employer for the past 10 years with the same 3 dependents. WTH is going on. What could they possibly being reviewing if every thing is the same and has been for the past 10 years??? This tax season is by far the worst. I feel like just giving up if it comes it comes.

I gave it a few days before calling IRS. So I called 3-3. The woman was rude and said that I was being placed on a 45 day review on 3-18. She also said I should receive a letter telling me about this. So I had to wait LONGER for my review to start?!? Didn’t receive my letter until a week AFTER my review date. It is two days before my 45 days is up and still nothing. I see all of these comments stating they have an additional 60 days after the 45 days is up. I hope not. The government is really screwed up and is f*cking us over.

I didn’t realize so many people were in the same boat. I too filed early February (6th) and March 14th I got the 60 day review letter. It’s May 6th. My transcript says processed 3/18, Refund due date 4/15…obviously those don’t mean anything if I’m still waiting. I called and the guy said there aren’t any new letters and to wait.

My 45 day review is up now but I had received the 60 more day on top of that which makes my final date May 14th for the review to be completed. Very similar to a lot on here. It’s upsetting to say the least. I’ve asked to go into the office to straighten everything out and get to the bottom of it but it just doesn’t work like that. I filed in Jan just to be in the predicament now….still waiting

So now I have until May 16th for the 60 days. I called April 15th and they told me to wait until the 45 days and call again. I’m calling today. But it still says processing and it still says code 152. I don’t like to have to wait testing my patients but being positive looking at the worse sucks. I never dealt with this before. Do you get ur tax return when it’s up? I read there’s possible extensions they can add to it. For heaven sakes I hope not….

My 60 days was up on 4/28, I called on 4/29 and the lady told me that she had to send a referral over to that unit and it could take anywhere from 2-60 more days. I was selected last year as well. I never had this problem with my taxes until I moved to this state. This shit is crazy and pissing me off because there is absolutely nothing that I can do.

I Didn’t receive a letter from IRS and the reason I found out was because I called after the 21 days. Still have not received a letter of any kind and today (4/29) was my 45th day. This really nuts because my boyfriend had filed for an extension and I just filed l his taxes through TurboTax last Monday and His refund was already approved but IRS is keeping it due to student loans.

I filed Jan 18, got accepted Jan 28th, found out i had to verify my identity Feb 11th, never got the letter to verify, so they resent it to me and i finally receieved it Feb 28th, I call the IRS to verify March 6th and was told to wait 9 weeks for my refund. Well, on the 6th week of me wating, I recieved a letter saying that I need allow the IRS an extra additional 60 DAYS!!!! WTF!!!!! So June 11th thats when my 60 day review and I’m praying to GOD that I get it before or by June 11th. My house burned down, my car broke down and i had to quit my job because i no longer had a way to get there!!!! LORD me and my family need this money MORE THAN ANY OTHER YEAR WE FILED!!!!! BULLSHIT!!!!!!

I called a few days later and the rep asked me if I got the 60 day letter, ugh wtf! Now I’m told like may 28th fml seriously this is ridiculous! I know what the problem is I made an error in my with holdings and I was advised not to amend it cause it would take longer by a rep Back in February but today was told that’s exactly what they are reviewing and waiting for my job to confirm amounts. I should have just amended it there’s no way it would have taken longer than this!

I had this same issue last year bc my wages were off. I filed w my last paycheck as previous years but in 2016 I traveled for my job and was reimbursed traveling expenses. Traveling expenses are not taxed so it was included in my wages on my paycheck but deducted from my wages on my W2. I wasnt aware of this. So anyway, taxes were under review. After the date, I called & was then told that it would be extended another 10 days. After that, called again & was told they would put an alert & now i would have to wait another 10 days. After that, was told 5 days & finally received a call on the 5th day from a Tac Advocate who told me what happened. But it literally took them about 5 months to tell me what was wrong. So although they give a date, they still have extensions after that.

Now they’re saying I have an additional 60 days and my review won’t be up until May 13th. They said they sent out a notice but I never received it. Like I told that woman if the shoe was on the other foot and I owed them money they would be charging me interest rates late fees and pentalies. I think it’s so unfair how the government gets to treat us. So much for being a US Citizen.

They went up for review on March the 11th. I got a letter dated March 14 and it said I have a 60 days from the date of the letter. That put me at May 14. I’m hoping mine gets released. I’m not sure why they went over review, but you would think it wouldn’t take this long. They held my taxes for over a month before they wanted to “review” it. If it was there money, it wouldn’t take so long. I just hope I get them before or after my birthday!! Which happens to be May 14. lol

Called the IRS today because my 45 days were up and was told they sent out a 60 day letter last month that we never got. So now our review is up May 14th. For the love of God… 🤦‍♂️

Can they go past 45 day? This is crazy. I have never had any problem filing my taxes. This really makes me where I don’t want to file anymore. I see now that I can’t count on my tax refund because apparently it’s not a guarantee. I work my tail off every day just to get screwed by the IRS. Yet they issue fradulent refunds all the time. How do those refunds pass through yet mine gets randomly selected for review? Makes no sense.

They told me I was under a 45-day review. The man asked me if I had received a letter I informed him I had not received a letter and he told me it was due to come out on 4/15. He also informed me that there was no further action needed from me. I have filed my return the same way for 5 years I’m just wondering why now are they putting me under review.

I never paid too much attention to that. This is the first time I get on review. for th past four years I had to ID verify except the time I didnt use TurboTax which was last year. I used Credit Karma instead because they had an advance of a $1000 or so. Used TurboTax this year because they did and Credit Karma didn’t. Usually I would wait it out after the ID verify and get my refund 2-3 weeks later. When I called at end of March they said I had a review starting April 15th.

I have a TA that I can never get in touch with. I’ve talked to her once (when she was first assigned my account) back around the 1st of March. She told me the IRS didn’t receive one of my W2s from the company. That I needed to call the company and get a letter with a letter head that had my husband’s earnings and withholdings. I’m having trouble getting the letter from the company. The accountant keeps giving me the run around. Telling me he’ll do it or he forgot but will get it done and I haven’t gotten it yet. I left his number on my TA’s voicemail, but like I said I can’t get her on the phone. What should I do? And can I still get my refund without the letter?

My status changed to recieved and processing 3/1, forst lettwr cp05 3/11 with 45 day review date return should be released unless I receive another letter. On 3/13 got the 60 day letter so i called because they both said no action needed. The irs told me the 60 day was a generic letter cause there was no code that the computer system sent out. That i should go by the firat one and if I see nothing by the 45 days to call back. I asked what was going on and really was told it is like the lottery for a review. Some people get pulled for a review just to check credits, identification and wages match. So im praying i see it next week.

I keep getting told I don’t qualify because I don’t have a cut off notice or eviction letter.

I checked my transcript today and I have a refund issued date of 4/23/19.. my employer issued a corrected w2… which I used the corrected w2 information to file but apparently the IRS didn’t update with the corrected information. Had I not called a TA to see what was going on… I would still be waiting til May or June over something that the TA figured out in a couple days…

For the first week and a half the WMR app said received and processing, then I lost my bars and it says still processing. It’s been 28 days today since I filed so I called the IRS today and they told me I’m under a 45 day review starting on April 29th, 2019. That puts me not getting my refund until June 13 at the earliest. WTF?

Bars disappeared early Feb. with PATH notice. 2/15 PATH notice gone & received a letter saying I was under review for 45 days starting 2/27. Long story short, my 45 days was up 3 days ago smh. Called IRS today and was told there was nothing I needed to do on my end & that my refund was frozen for an unknown reason. He then told me he put in a referral since it’s been past my 45 days. I haven’t gotten any other letters.

So now my tax lady is saying ill owe over 2,000 to irs if i send it. Weve always got back round same amount & nothings ever changed. Which makes no sense the only reason i got 2 w2s cause the store i work at went under new ownership. So recieved one from old & new owners. Can i still refile after the irs already sent me a 60 day letter review.? I feel as if shes screwing me.

I’m trying to give it a little longer but I don’t know how much longer I will be able to hold on. 😰

I filed on 3/4, accepted 3/6 and since then IRS check my refund status lists: Still processing. Called them on 3/22, spoke with a rep who said they had not entered my information yet, but nothing abnormal and to check back in a week. Fast forward to today. Called the IRS, spoke with an agent who said that my account had a 45-day hold because of a technical issue. He also said that there was nothing wrong nor were they going to send a letter. said should be processed by 4/20… Anyone else deal with this before?

Called IRS and they said the 60 day letter must have been a glitch because they don’t have it on record. Called a tax advocate 2 weeks ago and they said I should have my refund in the next 7 to 10 days.

The longer they hold our refunds, the more interest they get. I also feel like when the irs started to process our returns, they were already way behind. So in an effort to not make EVERYONE’S refund late, they pushed all the January and early February to the back of the lime. That allowed them to start processing late February and beyond returns on time. That’s why we are seeing people who filed in March already having a ddd. Seriously, why would those of us who filed January and early February be under “review” but those who filed late February and March are not under review?!? I believe whole heartily that the irs is just sending us reviews as a stall tactic!. They are processing a few early filers here and there but I don’t think they will totally complete ours until they have all the March and April returns completed. That’s the only thing I can figure that’s going on.

Same everything so why all of a sudden a review. I think they are collecting interest on all these refunds and are waiting till the last minute to release them.

The IRS has 45 days AFTER April 15 to send the refund. That puts it at the end of May. Don’t think you’re going to see your “4% interest” starting Monday.

Smh. I’m not gonna call or sweat it anymore. First time this ever happen to me. I do verify every year but it takes no more than 2-3 weeks after I verify to get deposit.

Maybe not all. But you know I’m right. No one here has gotten any refund and never will.

I’m starting to think I just need to let the junk go and maybe one day I’ll check my account and be pleasantly surprised. Seems like that may be around June or July now though SMFH

The agent gave me a vague answer like “oh sometimes the code is there but the notice / letter won’t go out unless taxpayer calls”. Bunch of BS. I should have done like before and let it ride.

Did so on 3/8. I called and I think that’s what screws everything up. Agen told me He needs time to look up account but took like 10 mins. Came back and said I’m on 45 day review. I have a feeling I should have just waited like every other year.

The IRS the old me 2 weeks ago that I would a letter April 6. Today the advocate contacted me and said my wages hadn’t been reported. We have a CPA and of course they had been reported. There was a glitch during the shut down and W2’s were lost. Fill out the form and fax it in. They are very helpful. My issue has been resolved!

I received 3 letters. 2 from Philadelphia and one from Chamblee, Ga. Haven’t read them as I am out of town ( live in Washington state ) but I got the USPS delivery notice. Fonts on the face of the letter from GA are different from Philly. 👀 Seems kinda weird. Why would they send me any correspondence from GA ? No one home to open them for me. F”n sucks that idk what’s going on. Don’t wanna call, seems that’s pushing ppl further away from DDD. But did call on the 8th. Nothing wrong. Wondering if it’s a scam?

Got the 60 day letter dated 3/14. Transcripts haven’t updated since 2/23 when I got the 570 code. Transcripts still don’t say anything about any letter being sent. I’ve called for a TA twice and was told I didn’t qualify b/c I didn’t have an eviction or cut-off notice. Called the IRS twice and was told 2 completely different things and neither said I was sent a letter which was after I received it in the mail.

Check WMR on saturday and my DDD is 3/27. Do not believe anything those IRS agents are telling you, hell they said they sent out a letter that was never sent then told me they cant tell me what the letter said because they only have a “generic” version. I work in HR, we do not send out ANYTHING without a copy in case there was “questions or concerns”… The IRS is so far behind because of the shut down that they HAD to send out “under review” letters because they were playing catch up. Unless you have a letter specifically telling you to take action, then its just a matter of waiting. Keep your heads up :)

Nothings ever changed on our taxes, so its a major bummer. This has put a toll on us financially, Thank God I have an amazing boss. Without his loan idk what we would of done cause Tax Avacates cant help unless IRS gives u a date of your return. & unfortunately when its under review you wont get one, so we basically sit & wait till they get to it. 😕

I just got a cp 05 letter saying in under review for 45 days AGAIN. The same exact review happened to me last year. The review lasted 5 months and then they released it to the audit department and that crap took 4 more months and when I did get my refund it was reduced to a few hundred dollars. I could seriously scream.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      So I’m not let down again this year I’m going to expect a refund of $20 and to receive it in a YEAR!

I’ll be waiting 6-12 weeks on a prior tax year. . I’m not even sure whether they processed my 2018 and are just holding it or what?!!? I owed from 2014. They will offset my 2018 I’m sure.

( Your return) someone says they have a system were they can get our employer info from them…that’s why on the letter it states to take no action

For whatever reason, Anyone who filed the 1st 2 weeks in Feb have been delayed. Look through these forums and pretty much everyone still waiting is from those 2 weeks.

New software, the gov’t shutdown, new fraud detection but 0 of any of that has ever been officially recognized as the reason.

Filed EXEMPT on this year’s taxes so I get all my money up front, in my paychecks. I AM NOT going through this again next year and if you think the IRS will go back to making things easier I’m sorry you’re so naive.

I also got a review date starting 3/11 then another agent said 3/18 then back to 3/11. Our letter was supposed to have been sent out on 3/2 but we haven’t received anything. We are falling behind on all our bills because they want to play games. I check the app everyday hoping for a miracle but things are not looking good.

Called again today and they stated that review didn’t start till March 11th and should count 45 days from that date. Also received letter in the mail today stating the same thing with a starting date of 03/11. Now just have to wait and be hopeful to get a DDD ASAP.

I’ve just been sitting on my thumbs since 2/5. I called a Tax Advocate and he told me to give them 14 days past the 11th to get it done. Absolutely no help at all. I’m just sitting here waiting… and waiting.. and waiting.. I haven’t seen anything new on transcripts or WMR since I lost all my bars on 2/23 and I check both every day. Absolutely disgusted.

I called and got the same review on the eleventh…as in today status still the same….. I am pass pissed…Lord has to be on my side..also I called back and lady told me my review doesn’t start until March 18… someone is lieing….the IRS should be a shame of them selves…also I found out not all early filers got flagged.. I believe I wasn’t so lucky…

Filed HOH 1/31. Yesterday was told my review seemed to have started February 4th, and my 45 days looked to be up March 20th. I know she is incorrect because they didn’t begin any reviews that early. I received a letter today confirming the review. I am just going to be very late paying my electric bill this month because apparently having no money for food is not a hardship for an advocate. It is ok, though. I also got her to say on the phone call March 20th sooooo I will eligible then for advocate for them not meeting their own date.

F/A 2/5. Bars disappeared on 2/23 so I called yesterday since it was 21 days and got the same generic message. My 45 days will start 3/11. I’m so depressed right now. I needed that money. Never had any issues w/ my taxes until this year. B.S.
