Impossible for all 1541 to be reviewed.

[Why me?????]

There is no possible way that everyone who has 1541 is under review. Between here and the facebook page, the numbers just don’t seem proportional. Remember for all of us here posting our 1541 woes, many more must be out there suffering in silence. I am beginning to think the IRS had a screw up with all of us earlier filers. Maybe something got missed, maybe something got screwed up, maybe they just weren’t prepared.

I truly think 1541 is just a way for the IRS to cover their collective butts up from a screw up on their part. There aren’t than many workers at the IRS to be able to sift through all these 1541 people,blet alone preform an actual review.

Yup I’m in the same boat!

My 2017 story…

Filed 1/23. Accepted 1/24.
WMR gives a reference code of 1541. Bars went missing about a day or two after filing.
I received an ID verify letter on 2/13.
Called 2/14 and said they are sending out another letter CP05.
Received CP05 on 2/20.
Called and they said that my return is going through a review, but nothing looks wrong.
Was able to order both return and account transcripts 2/20 and received them today.
The transcripts didn’t say anything that I didn’t already know and have nothing about getting my refund.

Still have the same message on WMR…delayed…1541.

I’m a little frustrated…. :\

Very well put…
All we can do now is wait, hopefully we’ll see something soon.
