      Received a letter 4464C from the IRS today. It states that my return was selected for further review and there was nothing for me to do. Also stated that it could take 60 days for me to get my refund. The letter was dated 2/3…the first day I could access my account transcripts. Nothing has changed with my WMR…it still says processing, 1 bar and topic 152. Has anyone else received on of these letters? And if you have, does it really take 60 days to receive your refund?

          @ Gabriel did you get a tax advocate ?

          Anyone else with an update?
          I’m still in the same stage the waiting stage
          Hopefully I’ll get some new news after the 4th of July

              I got the same letter a whole month after I faxed in my stuff. Saying that they received my information on 4-4-17 and will get back to me by 6-18-17. So we just sit and wait and wait and wait.

                      Any updates ? I called on April 20th to ask if they received my information they said I have to wait for another letter on or about may 21st!!

                        So I called AGAIN today. Got a rep with the nastiest attitude (Mrs. Moore). Not only was she extremely condescending, but the information she gave me was inconsistent with the information I’ve been giving the last three times I’ve called (3 months, 1 call a month). So now, supposedly, I’m supposed to be waiting 30 days from March 25. Mind you, I filed BEFORE tax season even opened and it ends TOMORROW. So beyond frustrated.

                        I refuse to go through this next year. Changed my tax status to exempt today since I get all my taxes back every year anyway. Let them wait for me next year.

                          I noticed folks that recieved 4464c notice mention faxing W2 etc. The info requested was it on the notice? I needed no more info. So trying to narrow down what it could be.

                                I’m still here too. No updates, no letters, just stuck in tax purgatory.

                                  Hey @Cindy

                                  I haven’t.. One of my employers messed up on my w2 so they IRS thought I reported more income than I should have. I got a TA a couple of weeks ago and my review date is tomorrow i guess.

                                    I’m still here, my transcript updated on the 6th I think, now it shows code 971 waiting for the letter, I now know I made a mistake and I need to file a 1040X amend form, but I wanted to see what the letter says before filing it.

                                        I’ll be calling on the 7th just to make sure it’s been the 60 days so I guess no one has an update yet! Hope they tell me something positive on the 7th

                                          So hasn’t it been the 60 days for most people on here who didn’t get the tax advocate? So has anything changed or has the IRS told you any good news?

                                            Went to the TA office yesterday after multiple failed calls. She advised that I was under income and credit review and that I need to prove hardship. I’m waiting for my assigned rep to call by Friday or I will be going back on Monday

                                                If you’re still looking on this page now that you say I got your ddd I’m just wondering how is it that you said they did an amended return for you but they’re not sending a check? If you look up anything about amended refunds they don’t do direct deposits they only send checks so I’m trying to figure out how is it that you’re getting a direct deposit????!

                                                              I ordered mine today again since I can get mine online with a credit card to verify my identity. So yes I ordered it today and it still has my processing date of march 6th. That’s what made me get a tax advocate. Now I’m just waiting for the processor to put it in my papers so they can approve it finally and send me my money. Like I said in a previous post from what I’ve seen is it takes around the 2nd week of people sending in the documents so I’m hoping by either Wednesday’s or Saturday’s I get my update

My processing date is still showing as march 6th so it doesn’t seem like that date means anything at all. I think it’s code 571 that means reverse the 570 code which means review or something like that. Code 846 means the refund is being released so that’s the only code that I even care about showing up. If i don’t see that then I don’t bother looking at anything else on my transcript. Good luck

                                                                            Hi,

                                                                            So my transcript says: 20170905 3/20/2017 0.00
                                                                            I have a code: 806 766 768 with dates 4/15/2017 and 570 with 3/20/2017.

                                                                          • #4192270
                                                                            Tp

                                                                              So it’s been a little more than a week since I faxed in the paperwork that my tax advocate asked for and still nothing has happened yet. I talked to her last Friday and she said nothing happened and for me to wait patiently. From what others have said it seems like they’ve got their ddd about 2 weeks after they sent everything in so hopefully I see something change by Wednesday or Saturday’s update. I can’t wait to put all of this behind me and I can move forward. Good luck to everyone else

                                                                            • #4192186

                                                                              • #4192142

                                                                                  I am sorry. Been through this, I can fully empathize. IRS really really needs to do a better job.

                                                                                  Update on mine: Now the WMR page is showing ‘Refund Approved’ and that

                                                                                  Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by March 22, 2017.
                                                                                  If your refund is not credited to your account by March 27, 2017, check with your bank to see if it has been received.

                                                                                • #4192099

                                                                                      1. I filed 1/21 and was accepted on 1/23.
                                                                                      2. I received a 4464C letter on 2/7 dated for. 2/2.
                                                                                      3. I was able to order my account and return transcripts on 2/8. Account transcript had a hold code with the 2/27 date.
                                                                                      4. On 2/27 I called to get an advocate.
                                                                                      5. On 2/28 my advocate called me and informed me that my wages were off your $61 and requested that I fax her a copy of my original 1040A with my wages crossed out and the correct wages above them and to sign the last page.
                                                                                      6. On 3/14 my amended return was assigned to someone, I wasn’t aware that I had done one….
                                                                                      7. On 3/16 the amendment dept closed my case and I should have a DDD in the next couple of days.
                                                                                      *** I can not access any information on where’s my amended return, where’s my refund still says we have received your return with my old return amount and they told me my account transcript won’t update for 2 weeks.

A new popup windows will have your Transcript. You can view online and also save it as .xhtml page on your then change extension from .xhtml to pdf if you want to.

                                                                                        The Transcript shows more updated and accurate info then the WMR page–which STILL shows me as your tax refund being processed!!

                                                                                            Maybe, the Big Govt came to this page, traced me down, and decided to ‘pacify’ me. So whine like I have been doing on this page–to get their ears :)

My situation hasn’t changed a bit. I had checked the Transcript after the magical date of 03/13/17–nothing had changed there and even the magical date was the same.
                                                                                                    IRS sucks!

Since we have to wait 10 business days to get a new one also waiting for April to get a letter from them I just wish this nightmare is over and I get my refund have a lot of bills to pay ugh this sucks

Hopefully I see a change on wmr this Saturday. That would be amazing. I’ve never waited this long for my refund out of about 20 years of filing. Wow saying that makes me feel old. lol. I’ll keep everyone posted

                                                                                                              I completely feel your pain. Now that April is approaching, I wonder how this works. Does it automatically release on 4/15? Or is it another case of sit and wait until they are good and darn ready? I’ve been waiting since Jan 17, have called twice and gotten nowhere. They can’t even tell me what the 4464C letter is for. Only credits I claimed were my son and his daycare expenses. One job all year, same one as last year. I did get a 10k or so pay bump, but got about the same increase last year with no additional holdup.

                                                                                                              Had to stop checking WMR everyday, it was seriously stressing me out. One or two of us got a DDD last week, so maybe this week is it (trying to stop my eyes from rolling as I type that).

                                                                                                              Good luck!

They asked what it was and that was it. I’m not trying to tell everyone to call and lie but that’s what happened with me so I’m assuming it’ll be the same for anyone calling them for help

My case was my employer not reporting my wages or withholding so that’s what I faxed into my advocate and she’s now pushing it through. I’ll let you guys know when I receive an update. Hopefully sometime this week

The code still says 570 with Processing Date of 03/13/2017;while today is that blessed date but nothing has changed! What are they processing? Human Genome?! So frustrating. There’s nothing we can do about this except to wait. We can’t claim hardship which is required for Tax Advocate access.

She said she would push it right through and I should see something within a week so since it didn’t update today I’m hoping to see it update on Wednesday and maybe a ddd by Friday or the following tues. I’ll let you guys know what happens

Let’s see what happens on coming Monday. BTW, this is the first time ever happened to me in the 23 years of filing taxes. Every year I have been getting Refunds by the end of February and when on one or two years I owed IRS money it was paid to them promptly!

                                                                                                                                          Thank you for the empathy. Yes, it’s frustrating. We paid $23,000+ in Federal and State taxes combined because of the lump sum payout and a chunk of that should have come back to us by end of February to make up for the less income the previous year.
                                                                                                                                          IF the IRS needs something then they should contact us instead of stringing us along for months and months and stonewalling us through their website, their phone access and through the unhelpful codes in the Transcripts.

If I didn’t see any movement I was going to call the 61 day but wth??? I don’t have any hardships and not getting back these big returns like I’ve been seeing on here. I’m not calling yet because I know I will get well it hasn’t been 60 days yet from the IRS. When you owe them they sure want their damn money!!

                                                                                                                                              Yes, mine still (as of a few minutes ago) says the same ‘being processed’. And I don’t know why I am having this problem–except for the large Federal refund and for that there’s a perfect explanation I have given below. This is a Joint return and our Deductions were Standard. This year we didn’t declare any rental income unlike in the past because that unit has been turned over to an in-law residence. The wife did have an unemployment 1099G form and a modest W2. So things have been different from the previous year but extremely honest return.

                                                                                                                                              But what @TP saying below is worrying: We all have to CALL them before things can get moving? Every time I had called the 800 number I have been stone-walled–the same message about being processed. I guess I need to find a local Tax Advocate some how.

                                                                                                                                              This is so unprofessional of IRS and not fair!! Had I not found a new job very recently I would have been really hurting because I was counting on the large refund by the end of February.

                                                                                                                                              Thank you all again. This page is really helpful.

Filed Jan 25 and got 4464 letter feb 17. I can view my transcripts online and have a 570 hold dated 3/13. I don’t have any of the extra credits most have. Cycle 20170805 dated 3/13. Seeing if it will change after 3/13. This has never happened.

It will be 3 weeks since my problem was fixed tomorrow, and 3 weeks since the message changed Saturday. Since I still can’t order transcripts by mail, and every time I try to get them online it says technical problem, I’m not too optimistic. I’ll keep you posted.

Thats why I said as long as it say “WE RECEIVED YOUR TAX RETURN AND IT IS BEING PROCESSED” thats GOOD NEWS bc that other message “YOUR TAX RETURN IS STILL PROCESSING DATE WILL BE PROVIDED WHEN AVAILABLE” that means its still in REVIEW SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!

Yes mine changed to your return has been received and is being processed after u verified. My husbands is still on your return is still being processed but the refund amount returned on his when my message changed, I always had the refund amount showing (if that means anything) It’s a joint return. I’m so confused.

Name change this year. IRS kept telling me nothing was wrong it just wasn’t processed yet. I got a tax advocate and within 2 minutes she was able to tell me that yes the IRS system kicked out my return. They transferred me to someone else, they verified that my new name matched SS number, I had to spend another 15 minutes verifying my identity and they said they “closed” the problem on 2/15. I called the IRS a few days later just to confirm. My WMR changed to being processed, my husbands changed to still being processed. I still cannot order either transcript so I know it’s not moving. Tax advocate will not return calls. IRS will give me no info because I got an advocate. I did call the advocate helpline and they told me that they didn’t see any other problem but it still hasn’t processed yet and they have not responded to the advocates request. Told me to just keep waiting. Ugh. Any ideas?

I kept calling to find out why It was held up before I got the letter and they said that it was because of withholdings reported inaccurately, Do you know why yours is held up? As long as it says “We have Received your tax return and it is Processing”…that means they are Actively working on your refund!! That is a GOOOOODDD sign!!! Take it from me I know because I just got out of that Situation!! Let me know if you need anything else!!

                                                                                                                                                            • #4189735

She told me what I had to do was show proof of income and withholding information on pay stubs and then after faxing it in she should be able to get my refund released within about a week. So if I was any of you who are just waiting I would reach out and find out exactly what they’re missing from you guys and don’t sit any longer because I’ve been waiting since feb 2nd and if I woulda called earlier I would have my refund by now. Goodluck

As others who had to get a Tax Advocate. But, for people like me, there is no communication from IRS since their letter dated 10 Feb. arrived.

I filed January 26 2017 accepted January 27 2017..I filed EIC and the Additional Credit… February 4 I logged in WMR and had a message that says: “Your refund is still processing..a refund date will be given when available….. This message means something is Wrong with your return… I called the IRS and they said my withholdings for my Federal was inaccurate. They requested my original W2’s from my employer directly… I received a letter dated for February 4 2017 (but received Feb 8, 2017) saying I was under review because of the one or more thingd i filed or reported and I should have my refund within 60 days….February 24 my WMR updated to “We have received your tax return and it is being processed…..On March 4 2017 (a saturday) it updated to my refund date for March 8 2017… I got my refund today… March 7 2017. There is a Difference in the message “Your tax refund is still processing and a date will be given when available and the message “We have received your tax refund and it is being processed..!! Any questions please let me know… I did not wait the whole 60 days!! I hope this gives someone hope!!

Thanks for the info. I was getting my hopes raised. So frustrating! This was a very simple return with two W2s, two 1099s. The only major difference from last year is the big Federal refund which the govt OWES me because of almost 40% taxes I paid last year on the payout. I had been waiting the around 21-25 Feb 2017 to actually get the refund–like I do every year. The State refund has come already but that was not so big.

The only 2 reasons that I can come up with for the letter is either they modified my return and they are letting me know or I’m getting audit.

                                                                                                                                                                        I’ll find out tomorrow when i get the letter.

I contacted a tax advocate and was informed i needed to supply a employment verification letter. I gave him that on the 28th and yesterday i was back in processing and the hold was lifted. I will keep every one updated.

We’ve been waiting for weeks, thinking it would update yesterday only to be disappointed. Some people received a DDD of 3/8 last Friday, some received a code 971 and got a letter telling them to send something or allow more time. Then some, like me, haven’t seen any change at all. No letters, no new codes, not even a straight answer for which of those 4 things on the 4464C I’m being reviewed for.

                                                                                                                                                                            I really hope you see some movement soon! Keep us updated if you do.

But, if the Processing date of 13 March 2017 has any bearing, I should be hearing a good news that day! I have never waited so anxiously for a refund for so many MONTHS! It’s a large Federal refund because of a cash payout previous year…

Well today I received a notification from USPS, a certified letter is on its way here from OMAHA , NE. It must be IRS, since I’m not expecting any letter from anyone else …. :(

                                                                                                                                                                                    Not exactly what I was hoping for and my account transcript does not reflect anything yet , so I would have to wait until tomorrow to see if my transcript updates !

Dont know how reliable this information is. … But sure gave me hope. Good luck to us all.😊 What was strange was IRS lady gave no explanation as to why and after she gave me hope did her best to get me off the phone before I could ask any more questions

I don’t think the processing date means anything at all while we’re on review. Once we get code 846 then we’ll finally know they’ve released the refund. I’ve read people in the past who got the same letter and nothing happened with them until the 60 days were up and 2 weeks after that they finally got their ddd. This is frustrating

The account transcript will tell you exactly which code is holding your refund, which most likely is 570 ?!? Ordering will be up to you . Thanks for the info.

My employer already sent them in and I’m still waiting. I tried to retrieve my transcripts via online however I did not have a cell phone in my name so it would not let me get them. It let me order my refund transcript by mail, I did not try to get the account transcript though. I am new to this stuff so I thought if I ordered my refund transcript it would tell me something. I see most people order both. Should I go back and try to order my account tanscript?

My tax professional did make an error on my return so the irs requested their own W2’s from my employer however I am devastated by the information. I have had some really rude irs representatives and a couple nice ones however none of them gave me any real satisfaction because I have to wait 60 days lol!! Please let me know if you all had the wait of 60 days if you all received your refunds.

Of course federal refunds are a lot more but it’s basically the same protocols.

I just got the update cause that was sitting and doing nothing as well just like federal. It said it was processed for the last 2 weeks but a date would be provided. Maybe this is a sign that my federal will be getting released soon. I’ll be checking Wednesday morning early when they update to see if my bars come back with a ddd. Fingers crossed.

The IRS rep said that based on the date of my letter, I should call on/after 3/25 if I dont see any progress. Technically my 60 days would be like 4/2, but I’m not gonna argue with an earlier date.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I got the 3/6 date like two updates ago. I thought that meant that I would get a DDD this past Saturday but nothing.

Is it reflected in your transcript as well ?

I’m getting a little annoyed. Filed 1/17, accepted 1/18, 4464C letter dated 2/2, acct/return trans with 570 code 2/18 and that was the last progress I’ve seen. I called today (last call was a few weeks ago) and couldn’t get any information. The gentleman was kind enough to look up my account but gave me the same generic info from the 4464C letter. I asked if there was anything I could send in to speed up the process and he said no. I was told to call back if I hadn’t seen any additional letters or WMR updates by 3/25.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Man, that sucks. I have a simple return, just me and my kiddo (who I have claimed since birth). Only credits I have are the child tax credit and the daycare credit. I always use my tax money to pay for summer school. I’ll pick up extra work and we’ll get by without it, but its sure gonna hurt!

Everything is linked together and I guess I’ll be waiting for my state refund as long as my federal. Nothing we can do but to wait out the 60 days and hope they push it thru and don’t ask for us to send them anything

They said they haven’t received one of my w2s from my employer so I have to wait to see what happens within the 60 days. On wmr it says we’ve received your refund and it’s being processed. I’ve been able to order both transcripts for a couple weeks now and it says processing date feb 27th and I don’t know what that even means. It looks and sounds like everyone in this boat just has to wait it out and see if they send you another letter asking for anymore info and then we’ll be waiting again after we send whatever they ask for into them. The best thing is to hope for them to just push your return thru after they review it or it’s gonna be a long wait. Even longer than the 60 days

So I wasnt able to add it to my income. Now I have the 4464c form from feb 10th. When I got to irs.com and check my status it cant find my info! I really dont have time to wait 60+ days to get my refund. Would a rax advocate really speed up the process? And is it free?

I guess that’s progress. I think I’m weekly so hopefully this weekend it will update. Although I’ve heard that wmr may not update if your in review. Just saw that from reading other posts.

When I was checking where’s my refund it was directing me to tax topic 1052 (EITC) but now when I check it just reflects we have received your refund and it’s being processed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I called the IRS and was able to speak to someone and they advised they couldn’t really say what or how long it could be before we would receive our taxes. My letter reflects one or more for the following is the reasons: Income reported, tax withholdings, claims for tax credits or business income. I can only assume it’s for the EITC which hasn’t changed. Praying we don’t have to wait the full 60 days.

I feel as if it would delay the IRS issuing peoples refunds so they had to find a way allow them more time. Alot of people who received this letter is now ordering their transcripts and is noticing a new date of 2/27. When i received my transcripts on 2/10 I had a 2/20. 2/20 is tomorrow and i still dont have a new update, however i did order a new transcript to see if my codes changed from all 0 to now some codes i can look into. Hopefully we see some movement by next week. Filed 1/23 accepted 1/23 received letter 2/8 ordered transcripts 2/9 updated to path 2/10 updated to still processing 2/16 no update on 2/17. called IRS on 2/18 stated i have to wait 45 days then she said 60 days.

I was also told it would be a paper check mailed to me. I woke up Thursday to see a mail check date of 2/27. So there’s hope just hang in there! I filed on 1/29.

One agent told me that a prior tax year is under review and a letter would go out later this month. She said that the 570 code was due to the PATH act and could update at any time. It did not sound right and the agent was not really giving me any information. The second agent I spoke with said that in addition we were receiving the 4464C letter for the current tax year. She strongly suggested that I contact the Tax Advocate hotline. I contact the hotline and due to the fact that we had documented financial hardship, they agreed to take our case. Due to the holiday, the earliest I would receive a call would be Tuesday; Thursday the latest.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              This has happened for the past two years since our income dropped enough to qualify for EIC. Sometimes the refund gets released automatically and some time it required the assistance of an advocate to get my refund deposited or even a date.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              In another call, I was told that the hold was normal due to the PATH act and that it could release on its own.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The advocate hotline could not even see the 4464C letter. In other words, get an advocate if you can document a legitimate hardship. They do required documentation but it’s worth the extra steps in order to get actual answers!

I had received a 4464c letter on 2/7 but it was dated 2/3 and the following 2/11 update, I could finally order transcripts and my bars went away along with the tax topic 152. From my understanding when I called is when “Where’s my refund” status did the update, is when I actually went into review. The 570 in your transcript along with the date beside it should be when the review should fall off. This might not be the case for everyone else since everyone taxes are different. Most of the time if you are getting errors from not being able to order transcripts then all that means is you just need to verify your ID.

I was able to order my account transcript on Feb 2. On Feb 7 I received the letter. On February 8 I was able to order my return transcript and on the 9th I updated to the PATH message. I updated to the processing message on Feb 16 and no update on the 18th. I spoke to a rep today and she informed me I just have to wait 60 days.

Just be patient and if there is something that they need from you they will send you another letter letting you know exactly what they need you to send.

It still says being processed with tax code 152 and how much my return is. I have never had his happen to me before. Any help would be appreciated. I only have one qualifying child and I didn’t get the extra credits or that path message every time is talking about.

I received the 4464C letter at the end of January. I did claim the EITC and ACTC. I have been able to order my account and return transcripts. I received my return, but not my account yet. On WMR, it states that my return has been received and is being processed without any additional codes or anything. My “expected refund” is still there, but no bars or anything else. I’d love to hear from anyone else that may have been through this and what the outcome is/was. I hate the idea of any of this being held up because of something silly. I’ll keep ya posted!!

Still processing and topic 152. I had orange bars but disappeared on Monday. Noe just saying processing and the tax topic. This is the first time ever something like this has happened to me. Nothing has changed for my return. Just one qualifying child but no eic or additional credit for my son. I guess it’s wait and see….

Received 4464c letter on 2/9. Able to order return transcript on 2/17. Had one bar until 2/11 and disappeared. Have heard nothing else…hoping that since I can finally order the return transcript, it’s ok and being processed. Have had the same info (job, bank account) for the past 10 years. Last year I had to verify my identity. UGH! Hoping for a DD soon!

I thought I was pretty clear that, in my opinion, the letters were sent to keep filers at arms length (due to the late processing of returns this year for those filing with EIC and/or ACTC.) Also, in researching the letter yesterday, I did come across an article that said thousands of these same letters were sent by mistake to filers last year (for the 2015 tax year). So it does/can happen I guess. Everything I have located online so far says that if you can order your RETURN transcript, your return has been processed and the refund is just waiting to be released.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Code 570 is “Additional Account Action Pending” and can be for “Additional Liability Pending/or Credit Hold” – Considering this year the IRS is holding credits due to filers (i.e., refunds) for EIC and ACTC, I would think that Code 570 is probably going to be listed on most, if not every, ACCOUNT Transcript of those who claimed those credits because there is still a pending Credit Hold until 15-27 February. when they release those refunds.

Dated 2/1/17, however, since I have a PO Box I did not pick it up until yesterday (2/9/17).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I called the IRS as soon as I got it and got a REALLY helpful representative, who, even though I was not at the 21 days, researched my return. He told me there were no holds, it was not frozen, nor was it marked for a manuel review. I was somewhat relieved, but still a little bothered that I would receive a letter saying my return was under review and that I may, or may not, receive a refund within 60 days. But at least it was something and I was more at ease then before I made the call.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Fast forward to today (2/10/17) – I thought that I would just check my transcripts to see if they were, by some miracle, available to order/view online and….. THEY WERE! I can now view all of the transcripts for 2016 (Return transcript included)!!! So, my return has been processed and approved, just waiting until the 15th for the release date (or ddd) to be posted to WMR (I had a minimal credit for EIC).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    My thoughts are this, that since the IRS is holding EIC and Addntl CTC credit returns until 15 February, they are going to be missing a lot of the 21 day deadlines and so that things are on the “up-and-up” so to say, they sent out these letters so that people wouldn’t start calling or complaining about not receiving their refund within 21 days. What they probably should have done instead is send a letter with the PATH information and not a letter stating the return is being Reviewed and it could be up to 60 days before you see your refund. It also appears that they updated some people via WMR by taking away their bars and putting the PATH message up. My WMR currently still shows 1 Bar with the basic, normal, message I get every year about If you filed a complete and accurate return refund will be issued within 21 days, etc. My WMR page never updated with the PATH information but I received this letter. Maybe filers that were updated on WMR with the PATH message did not get 4464C Letters and those who did not get updated received them? I am not sure. Either way…DO NOT PANIC, keep checking to see if you can order transcripts. Once you can order all four, you are processed and just waiting for them to do the big release between 15 and 27 February! Hope this helps!

First day, I could only find articles on people from past years. Today, it looks like they are rolling out letters. One thing I find in common is the acceptance date. Most people were accepted on 1/23, 1/25, or 1/27…not fool proof but just one similarity.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      It is hard to tell why and how long refunds will take to be issued. There are many unfixed variables (i.e. tax credits, dependents, allowances claimed, income bracket, filing status, etc.) Though the letters do state some of the reasons why we qualified for review, more insight would be great..

But I find it curious, that in order to issue your state refund, they have to (first) receive your w-2 from your employer and cross reference. As I said earlier, we already received our state…

I’ve already educated myself with the IRS website and the Tax Advocacy Group. Seems to be very limited public information. Have to keep in mind when reading other’s posts, their circumstance is likely nothing like mine. Waiting for taxes each year, seems to put everyone on pins and needles.

Has anyone heard of someone receiving the letter and receiving their refund ealier than the 60 days. Is this just part of them holding the refunds until late February and advising you with the letter?
