Did anyone get take action message?PLEASE HELP!!!!

[JG]

I got the take action message no tax topic just your return is being delayed. I did claim someone. Does anybody know what that means?

[Jess]

Any updates anyone???

[Derek Barton]

Irs wmr site … my return has a take action message with no code and under it , a message saying there is a delay in processing your tax return! What does this actually mean? Did I do something wrong? And how long will it take to resolve this matter?

[TARA]

@ TINA I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE THIS MORNING DID YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING?

[Screw Taxes]

Is it a take action or just a generic 1541? I also have 1541, but nothing in it says anything about needing to take any action.

[Andrea]

My last post was supposed to say we filed 1/24, not 1/2

[Andrea]

Filed 1/2, found out 3 weeks later we had to verify identity we did that on 2/18, yesterday was able to order return transcripts, this morning where’s my refund updated to take action! There is a delay in processing your return. And has code 1541. I have no clue why!! This tax year is just ridiculous!! My husband and I have filed married joint for the last 10 years, same dependents, same job until 2015 then changed jobs, but everything is the exact same!! Never had any problems until this year! I don’t understand.

Yes I received this message last week, spoke to rep, hold up on my refund because I didn’t time file 2013. So i filed them, but i had to mail it in. Irs gave 6 week a TAT once those are filed, then they can release my 2016 refund. I am getting a small refund for 2013.

Ok whether he was incarcerated i have claimed him before and it was not an issue. However, i called and it was because they do not have 2011 tax return. I had to sen proof I fuled and wait 7-10 days.

Claiming ANYONE that is incarcerated is a MAJOR RED FLAG… You can only claim someone that lives in your home for AT LEAST 6 months… They have a record of anyone that is currently incarcerated

[Ben]

Has anyone who got the take action notice (reference #1541)
Received a DDD get?
Filed & accepted 02/10
Received take action notice 02/16, still has not updated and have not received anything in the mail.
Getting very anxious

[Ashley]

@Jessica

It took 10 months for them to verify and send a paper check when that happened to me.

Good luck :)

[Chris]

Mine just says take action and then says your refund has been delayed there is no error code.. anyone know what this means?

[Jessica]

Does anyone know about how long it takes for processing once you send the information back to prove your dependents and head of household?

[Meshia]

I also received take action notice called IRS rep and they said they see anything wrong withy return but I have up until Monday to receive my return if not then call back…I’m completely confused

[LadyLeo]

@awnv that is exactly what it means… :-) I called and he said nothing was wrong its just so many people filed.

[geneva]

I got it today. Called and it was for 2013 year, seems like i didnt file. Lots of things going on at that time so Yea its possible that I didnt. Luckily still had my stuff for that year so did it thru freetaxusa and Im getting a refund back for that year too. BUT i have to mail them and they have to be processed BEFORE i can get this years refund :( So im looking at April for my refund date

[Brittani Hamilton]

I had take action code 1541 and it was for child support the gentleman I spoke to today said that I would get the difference

[WillBeas]

They are looking at alot of brother/sisters..nieces and nephews peopke are carrying….ive been audited before by using my sister about 7yrs ago. It was legit so I got it, but back then it took forever, I had to provide doctor statements, school meetings I went to , I got documentation, gathered all I could to prove I was primary support…it was a headache…

[Southerngirl88]

Same thing with my fiance he got a cp75 letter cause he claimed my kids his stepkids

[Rozilyn]

Willie that is not true about claiming brother sister niece or nephew I claim a niece and a nephew every single year for the last 5 years I have never ever ever had a problem always got paid

[Gennefur]

I called. They are open today. The agent took about 15 mins looking over my info and told me as long as I don’t get another letter other then the ID verify one I got my account is being reviewed. It went into this on 1/25 and within 60days I should get something. So I don’t know if that applies on this thread but give them a call.

[JG]

Actually it is my brother who I had custody of ever since he was 8. He was incarcerated and did not work and i provided money clothes etc. and @Shawanda what do you mean if it is not someone you can prove. I have claimed my brother for the past two years.

[mary]

its not an offset. I had the same code and had to wait the full 21 days before I could get an answer. Mine is for a mistake on a prior year return.

[WillBeas]

Not sure why comment is being moderated but yea brother sister nieces nephews is a big no no. Audited 7 yrs ago carried lil sister. I got it but it took forever. Had to provide teachers notes from when I attendended school conferences, had to get statements deoem doctors or whatever else I could. Its a headache forsure.

[duncan]

You said “I did claim someone”, so we can infer that it is not your child you claimed.

I’m guessing you claimed someone as a qualifying relative.

Who did you claim as a dependent? Can you give us more details on that?

[Shawanda]

It’s an AUDIT.. if not someone you can prove, you won’t get any money … sorry

[AWNV]

1541 is an an internal code that the IRS uses to identify returns that have been “Delayed”. The doesn’t mean there is something wrong with your return, it could simply be that the IRS has an overflow of returns at this time and is behind schedule on issues refunds.

[theloneliestpony]

Also got 1541. Internet says it could be a million different things, although I know it is not an offset.

[Deloris Gail Chadwick]

Hi do any one knows what does take action with reference code1541

[JG]

My brother but we have the same last name.

[WillBeas]

Was it your child you claimed?

[Tina]
