              jervon try calling once again make sure it’s a hardship it has to be something serious that u dealing with like a disconnect on a bill are something major that’s the only way u going to get a tax advocate some don’t ask for proof of hardship some do ask but if u lucky it would be good if u get one that don’t ask for proof keep trying dont give up cause I was going to give up if I didn’t get one on the day I call but lucky me I have gotten a tax advocate that same day n got the information that I needed on why the hold was on my refund I hope we update soon keep trying u will get the infor u need to help u release alil of the stress this year hasn’t been the worst tax season but it will be all over soon

                    Hey guys ive been stalking this group chat for a while now. And i got a letter saying 45 days march 4th. I got another one on the 11th saying 60 more days. I ordered my transcripts by mail on the 7th. I had given up even checking the website. But something compelled me to check yesterday and i had a ddd of the 27th. All hope is not lost guys. i would say just wait it out. It seems when i waznt looking for it, it came.

                                                      Hey I filed 1/22 got accepted that day , went to take action code on 2/16 then to refund receive and being processed on 3/1 with no bars. Received letter from IRS today letter 4464c dated 3/8, stating they verifying it’s accuracy and that I don’t need to do anything at this time and it could take up to 60days for the review. Did anyone else receive this letter ? & got they refund ?

                                                        One question would a tax advocate be helpful instead of me waiting them 45 days I got my letter already my review have already started I wonder if a tax advocate really would be helpful in my situation can’t I’m so tied of waiting even though the lady told me I didn’t have to do anything n did any of you receive a letter n has a date when the review over n a date they provided when to receive ur refund? to u cause they have provided me with a date but I’m hoping to get it sooner

Contacted tax advocate was told my refund was on hold due to 1099 G form was not in my return . faxed it to tax advocate should update Saturday for a DDD. Missing documents is a headache when you pay to have your return done right. I’m thankful the tax advocate was able to help me get ahead of the of the game to get the documents in before the 45 review started. Good luck everyone.

Unfortunately I had to estimate my earnings for a job that is now closed and I didn’t receive my W2 from until last week. She asked for the income listed on the W2 as well as the withholding amount and how much I estimated. She said it can take 45 days which will be April 25th. This is beyond horrible. I’m trying to be patient but this has been the worse tax season for me

So, I called today and the lady who seemed extremely irritated to help me stated that I was under a review and a letter would be being sent out on the 11th of March which would state how long mine were being held and what I needed to do.

                                                                                                                    Has anyone else whose had the 1541 crap and then switched been told this and then given a ddd with one of the updates? I’m trying to hold out hope that they’re just telling people crap to get them off the phone. Someone give me some hopefulness!

The IRS have all my reported income but one job that’s crazy and it happens to be Amazon so if you ever worked for them and filed them on your taxes that’s the issue they haven’t reported peoples wages to the irs smh

I checked today and I got a whole different screen without the take action message. I’m so confused and worried, I have never had any issues in the past.

Called said they should finish processing by Friday…apparently that’s when they started processing cause now I’m back to we have received your return and are processing. Also said I should receive a letter by March 11th bit to keep checking wmr cause It could change. Basically gave me the run around…I’ve received no letter…and I have no offsets…so just fed me the bullshit they are feeding everyone. As of today received and processing. Seeing all these ddd’s and reviewed returns makes me worry. :/

I called was told I was under review and it would take 45 days from March 4th. I called an advocate. I had to send W2, paystubs, bank records showing direct deposit to show income verification and proof of financial hardship. I faxed it last Friday, I was told to wait until March 8th, I received my direct deposit this evening at 6pm.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Call and advocate. Last year I made a mistake and didn’t receive my taxes because the IRS never sent me notification I made a mistake.

One guy told my husband wed have our taxes by the end of march and a lady told me id have a letter set to me on the 11th and it’d be 45 days from the date of the letter wed have our refund. Now I wake up to the weve received your refund and its being processed…how longs I going to take now?

For 2 weeks it said we received your return then i got the 1541 message saying my taxes have been delayed with no info, so i called and spoke with a rep she said that everything was fine mine just got caught up with the child tax credit and they are not releasing those until after the 27th. OK so i waited for the 27th and nothing so i decided to call yesterday and the rep told me the same thing all you guys have been says you will receive a letter but it have not went out yet if you don’t received anything by the end of April give use a call back. I was like oh my god i need my money are you series, then she was like but if you need the money faster let use know if you are having a hardship like your rent like be late are car payment she said that we will assign you a tax avocate so i said yea this will be a hard ship for me so she took my information and told me someone will be in contact with in 3-5 days i woke up this morning to check the status and it says in process like really i advised the lady yesterday that i have been on a bunch of site and everyone is saying the same thing something just not right. she said that we just have to make sure everything match up right if it did not why in the hell did they except our taxes something not right, so now sense my taxes are being process i hope i get the Asap

A tax advocate should be able to get it done though.

Just hold on guys We are almost there we’re making some progress so that is surely a blessing.

Hopefully we will not have to wait too much longer. Good luck to all of you!! This has been so frustrating.

I harassed my employer all last week about incorrect wages.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                • #4307221 Reply

Everyone that had the 1541 seemed to now have the processing message. My guess is they did an update to slow down the phone calls. My wages still are incorrect on the ssa website. Hanging on to a tiny bit of hope I guess.

I figured it was gonna happen. Hope to have ddd tomorrow morning like my coworker did last Sat. He also had the 1541. Just hang in there guys. Pretty sure all this fuss was just over the irs being backed up from the shutdown and giving us a generic delay code till they got caught up.

Spent 4 hours in holds yesterday for more dropped calls. I finally just ended up having them submit a referral for TA and they will be in contact within 3-5 business days

I just went on the social security website and I see that my earnings for 2018 Are listed incorrectly. My job that I’ve been on for almost 5 years didn’t report my earnings so I’m lost as to what I should do they gave me my w2. Does anyone else have this issue because I need my refund as much as everyone else. Any suggestions please. Thanks in advance

I was on the phone for almost 4hours after getting transferred and the call dropped after saying it was experiencing technical difficulties.

I highly recommended ANYONE GOING THROUGH CRAP with IRS to call a TAX ADVOCATE

I did nothing wrong. I had a part time job who did not report my wages so they of course didn’t match what I entered from my w-2 so it raises a flag. I’m livid. This company is old school, still gives me paper checks. Guess who is quitting? Lol I can’t do anything right now they said I have to contact them and make sure they submit my wages and if there are issues then I need to call the IRS back.

When I finally got around to checking my status, for the first time since I’ve started filing, I see something I’ve never seen before. I’m not under “audit” I’m under review. Ref code 1541. I’ve been reading public posts like these since that date and figured why even bother calling? Like someone else said, if the government wants to speak with you.. They will. I dislike having that money hanging over my head that I was given up front by my loan company and not knowing any dates or info. I dislike the anxiety that goes along with the wait. This is the one time of the year the working American, for the most part, gets to have a little extra $$ in their pocket and a little less worry in the head… TY 2019 for blowing that one.

After that you’ll log in then you should see it say something along the lines of last reported wages for 2018.

If the IRS needs to get a hold of you, trust me they will! Alot of early filers got caught up on review or test batch..we will see our refund soon! BUT…calling the irs everyday is not gonna help your situation any. I’m waiting too…it’s coming soooon!

I filed jan 21 and was excepted Jan 22nd. Had a bar for a week then disappeared and the 1541 code appeared. The irs told me all that y’all are talking about. I’ll get a letter 3/4/19, there is nothing wrong with my return, the eic/path, wait til after the 27th, up under review, I have to wait up til 45 days, and etc. I have been ver frustrated with the irs. Until I callyon Monday and a lady told me why my return is being held. One of my employer has not turned in my w2!! I even called ssa and they said the same. So now I have to wait to see if they can find it because my employer say that they gave it to ssa. It’s say since they was shutdown the w2 might not have hit their system them yet! If the irs tells you that they can not tell you anything ……they are lying. The lady said that they are not really required to tell us anything but the bullshit that they been telling all of us. Which I don’t understand because it’s my information!! Crazy because I got my state the week before last.

I filed taxes on 1/7/19, accepted 1/14/19, got the 1541 message 2/9/19. On my transcripts My cycle code is 20190605 and my processing date is 2/25/2019. I just got off the phone with an IRS agent and was told that there is nothing I can do. A letter will be sent out 3/4/19 saying that I am under review and it could take 45 days-90 days to be over with and to just “sit back” and wait. How the heck do they expect someone to just sit back and wonder what’s going on with my stuff.. so now I’m stressing myself out wondering if i messed something up. Hoping and praying that this review goes daily quick and I dont jave to wait for months

Lame. There’s not much more to say. Except that I payed 150 dollars for the deluxe edition all for this to happen and again be provided with little to no details, very vague. First bad experience with turbo tax. Might still recommend based off previous years of filing, not a single issue but this one is going to set me back..

I need answers this never happened before. How do they create letters for future dates but won’t provide you any answers? What does the transcripts supppose to tell you all this is so confusing. I pray we all get answers and it get released. I stop checking and calling it all it does it makes me stress more if there is no progress.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I filed early through TurboTax.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              It says accepted on Jan 25th on TurboTax.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I downloaded my return and I see nothing wrong, missing or any different than the previous year, or years prior.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              So, it seems that the general consensus is that if we don’t have a change or receive dd on tomorrow, the 27th then maybe we can expect some movement on March 4th?

I decided to call last week and they are working on my case now. I too was told I was under review by a rep at the IRS but once I contacted an advocate I was told I was actually on hold for wage verification.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I contacted my previous employer and he states he mailed out everything well over two weeks ago and considering how backed up the IRS was with its mail, I doubt they will get to it any time soon so Im glad I was able to get an advocate this soon.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I dont know it it’ll move any faster tho because I just checked my ssa and realized there were no earning reported by my previous employer in 2017 either. I have a feeling Im really screwed thanks to them now. I did file that year and go my return so I dont even know what to expect anymore.

People need to go to their House of representatives office in their state and file a complaint. It’s bad enough they claim the PATH ACT is to protect taxpayers. After the 15th they start putting freeze code 570, 1541 take action codes on 100’s of thousands of taxpayer returns. I filed my return 1/29 and was accepted the same day with Jackson Hewitt and they are saying I was picked for a random review that won’t start till March 4th and last till April 11th, that’s nuts😮 I’m seeing taxpayers report their cars are getting repossessed, utilities are getting shut off, and even getting evicted from their homes. I’ve seen several women pregnant like myself so they can’t work, students, and the disabled 😢😢😢 This is a sad country we live in.

I had called before was told income needed to be sent in and verified now review. She was stuttering and all they just don’t want you to call and wait 45 days.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I have hesitated to post this info because ive been lurking as usual and the site has surely Changed in the last 5 or 6 years ive been on here…partially as a lurker lol. I filed on Jan 19 and didn’t check WMR until this Friday because i know about PATH. The only reason i checked is because i had not received any deposit. When i checked WMR i had the Take action alert with no info under it. I had this happen to me in 2017 when i received the EITC,the CTC and a Education credit. I filed early that year as well, around January 16. It magically fell off and i received my refund on March 1 2017. I’ve been seeing a lot of different comments for reasons why the alert came up, maybe everyone’s situation is different but i don’t think alot of us have anything to worry about. I think its because we either filed too early with all the credits and got held up or some of us are under review. Either way piggy backing off of someone else’s situation is going to stress you out so relax :-)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        i filed through HRB by the way. I did it through freetax last year with no hold up but i didnt have a school credit. I did with HRB in 2017, same results as this year TAKE ACTION, no info under it if that info helps.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Peace and blessings

I know I probably have an offset. When can I expect the remainder, if any, of my return?

Filed with HRBlock on 1/26 accepted on 1/28 was being processed with TT152 up until the 16th. I have EIC and Child Tax. Had take action 1541 on 2/16 and still have it today. Ordered my transcripts on 2/12 received in mail today and they are blank saying no return was filed. Did not update today as well. Do have an offset for my state of RI and already received my state taxes. What is happening? Don’t want to call this week. I’m having a baby on Thursday and don’t need the extra stress but still have questions. Sorry for the rant!!

Do I need to contact them or will it update automatically. I got the take action 1541. @momo. I’m so confused I never had this problem.

U sound like the robots that answer the phone telling us the same thing to push us along. If you have a code 1541 and it says take action. You have a issue. You will be told your under review when really your not theres just an issue that needs fixed and its gonna take A long time u will need a tax advocate. All that path act blah blah is something they can tell u to get them off their back while ur return sits in the please fix it pile smh. I really wish yall and myself the best of luck.

According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue these refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or debit cards starting February 27, 2019, if these taxpayers chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Where’s My Refund? ‎on IRS.gov and the IRS2Go mobile app will be updated February 23 for the vast majority of early filers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. These taxpayers will not see a refund date on Where’s My Refund? or through their software packages until then. The IRS, tax preparers and tax software will not have additional information on refund dates, so Where’s My Refund? remains the best way to check the status of a refund. Where’s My Refund? is only updated once daily, usually overnight, so checking it more often will not produce new or different results.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  If you claim the EITC or ACTC on your tax return, the IRS cannot issue your refund before mid-February. The law requires the IRS to hold the entire refund — even the portion not associated with the EITC or ACTC. Like previous years, some tax refunds may be held if there are questions about the tax return or the IRS needs more information.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  It takes additional time for refunds to be processed after leaving the IRS, and for financial institutions to accept and deposit them to bank accounts and products like debit cards. Also, many financial institutions do not process payments on weekends or holidays, which can affect when refunds reach taxpayers. For EITC and ACTC filers, the three-day holiday weekend involving President’s Day affects their refund timing.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  How do I check the status of my refund?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Where’s My Refund ‎on IRS.gov and the IRS2Go mobile app remains the best way to check the status of a refund. Where’s My Refund will be updated with projected deposit dates for most early EITC and ACTC refund filers by February 23 so those filers will not see a refund date on Where’s My Refund ‎or through their software packages until then. The IRS, tax preparers and tax software will not have additional information on refund dates, so these filers should not contact or call about refunds before the end of February.

And once agian im going three the same thing this year. And its the worst thing ever fighting for your money last year i filed 2/2/18 recieved my taxes 5/29/18 this year is the exact same thing. These people will tell u that ur under review but 9 times outta 10 your taxes need fixed and its gonna take a while for them to get around to it and you will eventually need a tax advocate to help u get yours u only can get one if u waited a long time for them fix it themselves or you are having a hardship. Ive already lined up for a tax advocate they are the only ones who will help. I hope all of u encountering this issue fight it till the end cause if u dont fight for it they will take their time. Once i had a tax advocate last year i had my money 7 days later. Goodluck to u all.

I was giving too many opinions but the main one was the delay was for child tax credit. I thought it was because of my tax payer putting my old address but when I called IRS this morning she told me it wasn’t for that, I was being review for something else but she couldn’t say. She told me if I don’t get a direct deposit by march 4 to call back and see what’s going on. I haven’t experience this before ever nor did I receive a letter yet. This is frustrating but I wonder if its because I haven’t filed all my W2’s

They both have Take Action ❗️, but the message under them are different. The one I received just has the Take Action!❗️ With no information. The other one has Take Action ❗️And gives you information on how to appeal the decision… The IRS gives so many different answers. You call one time and get a completely different the next time 🤷‍♀️

Why not be more precise? The people affected by only a eitc delay should have a message stating so. People who have an actual audit should say so. It all seems so dang generic

She told me I was under review and that I should know more info by April 18 but nothing is needed and no letters have went out. My income is not matching which is my fault I input the wrong info (accidentally 😩). She advised that I not wait for them to contact me but rather do an amended return now. She also referred me to a TA. She stated if I submit the amended return now by the time the TA calls me they can pull it to be reviewed quicker. She was really nice but stated they do not have specifics so if you don’t have an idea why it’s being pulled then neither do they 🤷🏽‍♀️ hope it helps

I NEED this money! I’m a disabled veteran and I was going to use this money to invest in a new line of work! I’m so screwed!

Called IRS on 2/19 and after an hour and fifteen minutes I was told that they need income verification from my employer. I should get a letter in the mail, that has not been sent out yet, but will be sent soon. This process could take up to 45 days starting March 4th…I am receiving EIC and I’ve been working at the same job for three years and going to the same tax preparer since 2007. Another coworker, whom is also receiving EIC, is having the same issue and my boss is confused because he is positive he did everything correct as he has done in past years. Hopefully there is just a glitch in the system! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I called this morning right at 7 a.m. and was on hold for 45 minutes before speaking to a representative. The representative I spoke to was a super nice lady and she advised me that one of my W-2s was missing so my income wasn’t matching. She said it could take up to 45 days or longer. I asked if there was anything I could do to speed up the process and was told nope I just have to wait for Social Security to update and if they haven’t updated my W-2s in the 45 day period they will then reach out to either me or my employer for additional information. So frustrating but at least I know what is going on with my return now.

Although when I called earlier I was told I was under review but this time I asked if she could make sure and she said if I was, she would be able to tell me, and it wasn’t. She said the earliest they anticipate to have them sent out is Feb. 22nd. She also said the same thing happened last year which was the first year it started happening.. so now I guess we just wait and see

But its just a generic code and everyone is different, so I believe we are good no action is needed I do not need to do anything or send anything, so I believe I will still get my refund despite what the computer says I am not even worried my father is greater then the IRS computer

On Feb. 16th got the dreaded code 1541 taxes delayed message. No letter sent….which is a good thing. However I was pissed b/c I get it on a Saturday and couldn’t call until today. Well I just got off the phone with a IRS rep. She told me there’s nothing to be alarmed about. She looked into my taxes and said it looks fine. I owe no offsets. I got the code because I claimed the EIC and ACTC and by law the IRS can’t release the refund until Feb. 27th. Which I know is a LIE because my cousin got her DDD of the 22cd and she claim the EIC and ACTC. We filed the same day. I was told that if I don’t get my refund by the 27th to call back after that 27th. So I guess I’ll be impatiently patiently waiting.

They told me that it was pulled for review and they don’t see anything wrong and there’s no notes on my account that had been mailed out! She said to just keep checking wmr! I’m getting tired of this and everyone seems to have all different opinions and information about this stupid code! I just want my damn money and I want it NOW

Refunds will be issued starting on Feb 27th. I am a Rep as well and I feel pretty confident that the IRS was knowledgeable and competent. I’m not stressing or worried

It was nothing wrong with the return to just keep waiting on the system to update. Back logged returns. Hope this help. We all are frustrated. I guess we gotta hang in here and be patient we earned every dollar.

I seeen that most of us that have the delay used a online service such as Turbo Tax etc? Because my sister did hers with a local tax service here and she didn’t get a delay either.

I was told it’s due to backlog and they are so far behind that they are telling people that to keep them from calling. No way are they reviewing that many accounts especially because they all seem to be from the filers near opening day

I told her I received a take action notice and she literally asked what’s that ? HOW DO I KNOW?? IM CALIING FOR “YOUR” help! Then after another 10-15 minute hold I was told I was selected for review and it could take up to 45 days and if I haven’t received a letter or anything by April 19th to call back and no further action is needed at this time. I’m sure hundreds of thousands are not under review I think they are just telling us the first thing that comes to mind to get us off the phone! Me along with many others depend on that money and they don’t seem to care at all!!!!

Called 2/15 to see why. The first time I called they said it is delayed because of my child credit but should be updated early next week. Called 2/19 (today) spoke with a lady and she said it MIGHT have been pulled for review or randomly selected for review, she couldn’t really tell but she said if it was it would take up to 45 days to receive a letter in the mail about it and get it resolved… first of all why would you say it “MIGHT” have been pulled or randomly selected for review..it either is or it isn’t.. No idea what is happening..never had this happen before. I will be calling back later today or tomorrow to see if I hear anything different.

It took 8 months to get my refund.

The morning of the 16th it changed to the delayed message. I called this morning, for starters it doesn’t quite seem like the lady knew a whole lot about it to begin with. All she could tell me was my return had been pulled for additional review and that I could call back on April 18th if I hadn’t heard anything from them. Soo, at this point I’m not real sure anyone knows when they’ll get a return or what the heck is actually going on.

The lady at first told me it was an offset, but I told her that I called the offset line and had none. She then said I had a letter sent out on 2/14 advising me it would take more time. So I asked how much time and she told me up to 60 days. She then put me on hold and came back and told me that they were still verifying credits and that I have a tentative DDD of 3/04, but it could be sooner. Evidently, a lot of people will be receiving the letter because she said it was a generic form that was sent out. So I guess it’s more wait and see.

I’m not so sure they are telling people different things.

Went on ssa.gov and checked my earnings from 2018. Sure enough only 1 jobs earnings have been reported. I had 2 last year. At least I know what it is now. Hopefully with the shutdown being over they will get the earnings processed so my refund can be released. Thanks.

I was told by the IRS. It was because of earned income, and child tax credit..

Nothing really changed since the last 6 years. Went from STILL PROCESSING message to 1541 on 2/11. Was really hopeful that it would change overnight last night – since today is 21 days. BUT – I have looked on many other forums and sites and everyone pretty much says the same thing. There are some (of course) who do all the doom and gloom, but there are WAY WAY WAY too many people that got this message for the first time ever to have everyone going through an audit or review. I mean – I think hundreds of thousands got this message. I do not have a topic or anything under the delay – just that there is a delay. I really think that that is all that it is. My son had the same issue – he filed 4 days before me and his finally updated and said he should have his by 2/22. I am hopeful that we will all see something positive soon.

Had 1 bar for 2 weeks went to processing with a reference 9001 code. And then 3 weeks after went to take action reference 1451. I called and was told it was because of the tax credits. I’ve claimed the same 2 dependents. I honestly don’t believe we are all being audited or reviewed. I just think it’s excuse they give us specifically for the delay. I hope so anyway. I’ve never had issues before.

Did some research and everyone should be getting there taxes back on Feb 30th.

Where’s My Refund? will be updated with projected deposit dates for most early EITC and ACTC refund filers on February 23. These taxpayers will not see a refund date on Where’s My Refund? ‎or through their software packages until then. The IRS, tax preparers and tax software will not have additional information on refund dates, so these taxpayers should not contact or call them about refunds before the end of February.

I think it could be because of them you were flagged or what ever the 1541 issue has a cured i suggest we all not use them anymore I used there service for 3 years in a row and everything was fine and was aggressively offered to upgrade the service. so next year H and R block please let me know if most of us used turbo tax

However I do not need to take action and do anything at this time. Which is wierd as heck. If u have this code and it is pass the 21 days u filed I can tell u right now u have been selected for a review and the it’s has a extra 45 days to review ur return. If it hasn’t been 21 days since u filed then your code still might change or disappear but I doubt it.

I use the same dependents with EIC. The years before it was issued by the 21st day….. Ummmm something fishy. Could also be part of a delay because of the Government shutdown earlier, because some of the employees were calling out and made the work load pile up. It’s gonna be ok everyone, I feel it . We have to have the FAITH….We all need our guns for one reason or another. I’m getting ready to go to my Prayer Room in a few for everyone. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖

I called the irs and spoke to an agent. He told me to wait until Saturday and see if it changes. I asked him to look closely to make sure I wasn’t required to take any action and had no offsets. He explained that he didn’t see any problems on his end. Needless to say, it still says Take Action ref 1541 and it is Sunday. I’m praying it changes all the way to approved by Tuesday. Good luck to us all! The number to check for offsets says nothing was found as of today 18003043107

Refunds will be delayed more and more documents will be needed. Some will be audited, reviews, and identify checks which is a lengthy process so let’s just pray and have patience for a good outcome

Never been audited never had an issue and I file my own taxes with freetaxusa or turbo tax every year! We are entitled to this money it’s ours and I want answers Tuesday. I filed my same 2 dependents my own children and income I file every year with no problem. The only issue I see on my taxes is I input the incorrect numbers to my address which is totally my fault, but we all know how the IRS likes to drag things out. Then to make matters worse we have to wait all the way until Tuesday! My stomach has been in knots off and on for 2 days people need their hard earned money!

I received my state refund on 2/6/19. Now on 2/16/19 I looked at wmr and received the Take Action Code 1541. I’m a little confused as I have no offsets, and if I truly did have a problem with my refund why was I able to get my state but have a problem with my federal. I truly hope that it is just a delay and we will all be able to get our refunds. I want to call Tuesday but I feel I would be totally frustrated on hold as it’s a day after a holiday with high call volumes – so I hope that someone can update us with what they found out.

Don’t remember exactly when but I think it was around the 18th/19th. Accepted on 1/28 and on 2/15 I got a message saying it was processing and on 2/16, it’s giving me this take action message with reference code 1541. I’m hoping it’s just delayed because can’t release refunds until the 27th. It’s my first year filing jointly AND claiming the ACTC(last year was a pretty big year). I guess I’m just gonna try to remain optimistic 🤷. That’s all we can do with the IRS, right?

A few hours later updated to the delay in processing if you need more info call and reference code 1541. The app states just that the website says take action see addition info below then it just says theres been a delay….seems a ton of us effected by PATH updated to 1541. Unfortunately none of us get answers till Tuesday short of an update or deposit. Ugh. Update here with anything anyone figures out?????

I had moved 4 years ago and my return was flagged to verify my new address. All was veriifed back then, but each year since then, the IRS holds my taxes until I can verify who I am, or verify my address. And of course I have to wait 21 days before anyone will talk to me. The best thing anybody can do is start talking to a tax advocate before they get really busy

I missed the prayer but am doing one of my own for this situation.

IA. I have received an energy draft as well, so im sure everything has completed processing, its been several weeks now, and I know they have my updated address and my state refund had gotten offset as well. so im grateful that i filed early online.. but not too early :)

I know state returns are not the same but Michigan had a TON of people pending review (simular to this) and it was a computer error within a couple days most of them including myself had MI WMR change to a DDD. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 still freaking out!!

I don’t know why this is happening and its giving me serious anxiety and anger. What should take a day takes the irs months to complete and its totally ridiculous! We can’t take our sweet time filling and paying them they shouldn’t have that ability to take however they want. I to depend on that money for my family. Car repairs to continue going to work for example. This could go on for weeks or month and not a thing we can do about it. Thats abuse of power from the irs.

Because if you mean its the Path Act law then why for the past 2 years did I get my refund the 22nd as well as my boyfriend the 22nd and we both walk the path? Im hoping its just an IRS delay. I think we should all Take a min to pray at 8:59pm tonight that we update and this is gone. Some say people shouldn’t count on their refunds well I do, I count on every penny being a single parent never receiving a dime of child support, my refund helps me take care of my family!!!

Because my sister filed before 2/6, has EITC and ACTC and WMR is still showing hers as received.. so is it just certain ones? Thanks for the info though! Really a relief if there’s some truth to it

I do claim EITC and ACTC. I’m calling Tuesday to see what’s going on.

Did claim EITC and CTC with the same dependent/filing status for the 2 previous years. WMR status said received with one bar until this morning!!! (2/16) and from the looks of it a lot of us got that code just TODAY… so I’m hoping it’s something going on with the IRS idk calling Tuesday to be sure. Will update as more info is received

I woke up this morning and found the 1541 reference code. There seems to be quite a few of us. I filed on 1/29 and accepted on 1/30. It has not been 21 days quite yet. Any chance the code may change after 21 days? I file the same way every year, and no changes. Any feedback welcome.

Filed my taxes on the 28th of January & return was accepted & being processed until this morning I woke up to code 1541 delayed. Never experienced this before I do have a 15 year old who I claimed. What does this mean???

From my research it’s probly due to EIC. I filed my taxes the end of January and according to the IRS refunds take 21 days. Well my 21st day would be the 19th and EIC refunds aren’t due to be deposited until the 27th hence the delay. Calling on Tuesday to be sure.

Will call Tues morning and hopefully be able to reach a person who can give me an answer.

I did check my income reported on the SSA website and I see that it is about $2500 short of what it should be which is the amount from my second job over the holiday season. So maybe I’m for income verification. Who knows really just giving my input. I will post more after I speak to someone.

This 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 issuing refunds. There are different reasons accounting for the 1541 reference number.

You can reach them at +1(800) 829-1040. Check Where’s My Refund? as well tor tracking the refund.

Called irs the first lady told me she doesn’t see anything wrong with my refund but it was pulled for further review and letter should be sent out stating how long it should take. And if they need me send in more documents then another letter will be mailed out..(never got letter)

I’m confused! 😣

I too received the reference code of 1541. I claimed the earned income credit and the child tax credit. I have not received a letter from the IRS and one hasn’t been issued according to the IRS. I was told that the IRS website will be updated on the 22nd of February. I filed January 17th. This is very frustrating. If I don’t receive anything by the 26th or 27th I’m going to the IRS office. I’m sick of waiting. I’m relying on that money. I have bills.

Irs said no letter is being mailed, and I haven’t received anything. Pretty vague if you ask me, curious to know what is really going on.

I do not qualify for EIC but have the ACTC credit. It went from being a hold on processing due to it to the 1541 code. I called today and they said that my return is under a 45 day review that will start on 2/25. She advised at this time there is not any additional information needed from me. In addition, she could not tell me why my return is under review.

So frustrated. Hoping it doesn’t take as long as they say.

I spoke to a rep and she said that it’s been pulled for review for income or eitc! She also said that there is no letter on my account so there isn’t an audit which is confusing as crap!!! She said to keep checking wmr for an update and it may change! What would be the reason to check it if it’s pulled for income verification? Can anyone help me understand

I received a letter on 2/9/18 stating there is a delay in processing my return. This may take up to 60 days. Well, it is now 5/3/2018 with no refund information. I have called the IRS contact number that is listed on where’s my refund and the agents have no answers. They keep saying they don’t have any information. This is frustrating. I worked one job that took taxes out of my paycheck every two weeks. What is the IRS looking for. Meanwhile, I’m still working and paying taxes. What could be taking so long? What can I do?

The IRS finally got my income verification from the tax advocate and I was told it would be 2-4 weeks before I would see my refund.

Was told prior year returns were received 3/9 (which is a week after I know they received them). They are already showing as “verified and processed” which basically means no errors found and they were put into system. Rep stated it could take an additional 1-2 weeks after this for the “system” to clear the CP63 code and release the current year refunds. Rep did say in total it takes 6-12 weeks but in my case I’m close to completion.

I do have a offset from NC state taxes but they will have to refund me the offset once they process my 2012 taxes they are trying to bill me for I wonder how long to receive that back from NC state tax department as well.

On WMR my bars disappeared on 2/15. I called IRS on 2/19 and was told that I was chosen for the fabulous review and I may get a letter. On March 9 the letter came dated March 6, just stating I was selected for random review, I already knew this! I have continued to call since March 9th and was finally told on March 12th that it was because of income verification. They didn’t get one of my W-2s. I had worked for one company from January- June last year and started with a new company in July. I called the Tax Advocate Service, provided all my information. They had my employer send a letter stating all the info they needed, plus a copy of my W-2. That was on March 19th. It’s been 10 days and I can’t get the Advocate to return my calls and the IRS 800 number says they can’t help me now. I am in the same boat as many others and I need my refund. I have NEVER EVER had a problem like this before.

On 2/8 got 1541. On 2/26 got CP63 letter requesting prior year returns. Sent these on 2/28 and received on 3/2. Updated Wednesday 3/21 to code 9001. From past year post seems like I may be done processing and just awaiting a DD date.

I called and asked why. They told me I was pulled for random review code 1541. I called back in a couple weeks as to nothing has changed. And they told me I’ll receive a letter but no action is needed. I never received anything from anyone. Last week I called again and she told me to wait til April 13th if I don’t see anything to call back again. WTF! It is March 21st. I’ve never done anything different. My other half and all my family did theirs way later and got theirs back. Where is mine?! My second child is due April 18th and this would really help us prepare for him to be here more and me going on maternity leave. Ugh. Irritated.😞

Called the irs when i got the message and they said call back mid march, and i did now they are saying that i needed to wait 60 days and gave me a date of the 2nd week of august to call again. Like why? I filed the same way the last few years. Nothing has changed. This is really pissing me off.

Perhaps it is the complexity of the problem. For instance, most of the people reporting that their TA is a rockstar have small discrepancies or none at all and they can expedite a request to release the return. Seems like if it is more than a small/minor discrepancy, they aren’t improving turn around time too much. Minor not being dollar amount, rather an easy fix. For instance, someone had a typo, that amounted to a $3000 error, but that is an easy fix.

Then I called to check on my return they stated it was under review for 45 days. I then contacted an advocate because I am going through a hardship. She said she put in a request to release it on March 6 and that I needed to get back to her by April 12th I then called the iris and they said they received the request on the 9th and that they had 2 weeks (March 20th)to respond back to her. Well I counted the days from when I filed the return and it’s actually 45 days exactly. I called the iris today and they said my refund was released…Yayyyyy but they don’t have a date yet but keep looking………Anybody have any idea when the refund is released how long does it take to hit the account?????

They are no better than the IRS themselves! Dumber than a box of rocks.

And even at the end of that time, if I still hadn’t received my return, the TA could “recommend” the hold be lifted. That wouldn’t necessarily guarantee it would. They can’t actually do it themselves or force the IRS to do it, either.

This lady acted like it was NO big deal at all. She actually suggested that I finish waiting the rest of my review out, and that instead of worrying, I should “take it as a good sign” that I haven’t received any additional letters from the IRS in the meantime.

Now the Injured Spouse might be more of the delay for you, because those generally take a little more time to process.

About a week later, I got the 1541, processing delay message when checking WMR. It still says the same thing 30 days later, and we’ve received no notices or letters from the IRS. We do claim EIC and CTC, as well as file Injured Spouse; but nothing has changed from previous years, and we usually have our refund by now.

Have been on Ref # 1541 for 30 days now. The IRS just keeps giving me the run around. 45 days 60 days I mean even if you had to review it shouldn’t take longer than 2-3 weeks considering my taxes are the same as last year only difference is that I had another child, with the same last name so I don’t see why it should take so long. Really need this money as I just started back working and need to catch up on some bills and I also want to take my family on a vacation. Guess we will miss out on Spring Break! :-(

The lady told my husband that there’s no additional information required and that they don’t need anything from us. Pretty much said we’ve just gotta wait patiently until something happens. It has been almost 6 weeks for us.

I also got a 4464C letter. I have called about 6 times total since the beginning of Feb. I get different messages from different reps. The last 2 had told me to wait at least 45 days from 1/29. Then the person I spoke with yesterday tells me that I have to wait 45 days from March 5, because that is when my tax liability was done? It seems to be a run around. There are no flags on my account. The last rep said that he literally sees my refund and it is frozen. Waiting for the review to be done from the 4464c letter. This has never happened and I file my taxes the same way every year. Very disgruntled.

That really give me some hope. I filed on 2/5 wasn’t accepted until 2/7. Lost bars on 2/14 and woke up to take action on 2/24. Spoke to four different reps this week all told me it’s a hold due to an offset for the federal. And, that it should fall off within a week or two. Hopefully next Saturday I update with a DDD.

I got 1541 message on 2/16 and the letter on 2/17. I called on 2/16 after getting the 1541 message and they feed me the same bullshit about the path act blah blah blah and that nothing was wrong with my return, no letters, and nothing being flagged. Go figure the next day I get the 60 day review letter SMH.

I don’t think it has anything to do with turbo tax specifically because I know several people who also used them to efile and they have all received their refunds. Including EIC and Child Tax filers. The only trend I seem to be seeing is people who’ve filed during a certain time of the month. We filed 1/31..accepted same day. I’ve seen several people who’ve filed 1/29, 1/30, 1/31 and have either been stuck on 1541 or processing.

I don’t need to verify ID, fill out any paperwork, resubmit my return, or correct/amend anything. Nothing needs to be done. The review itself could take up to 4-6 weeks total before I see my refund, and it’s already been 3. She said there were no notes about any further letters being mailed out. If they did need me to do anything, they would notify me via mail — but because she saw nothing in the system indicating so, she said I should “take that as a good sign.” Yet again, I was advised to keep checking WMR daily for updates.

His debt is significantly more than our check was. So, according to all of that my refund should finally be here sometime next week. :) Yay!!

When I inquired as to WHY, no answer was given. THEN, I was told it could take up to 90 days to receive our refund. WTH??

Then she disconnected after I’d been on hold an additional 17 minutes!!

So aggravated and frustrated that I was in tears today trying to reach an available representative…once again to NO avail.

My husband called the IRS yesterday and he was immediately told it had nothing to do with our taxes and that it was because of the PATH Act. I still find it odd. They didn’t bother to look into our file at all, just heard 1541 and gave us that response and quickly got off the phone,

I decided to try my luck and call back and was told that I hadn’t filed my 2014 taxes and that my 2017 refund was on hold (they called it CP63) until I filed.They gave me this number 1-866-897-3315 and they are open from 8am-8pm est, I believe. Its the hold department. To this day I still haven’t received a letter to tell me what year, or why its a hold. However, I did the tax forms and sent them overnight and was told that once they look at them and update they will release my 2017 refund if I don’t owe any money, and then process the 2014 return.

I’ve done an obsessive amount of research and digging these past few days. People are saying everything from I’m under an Audit to I have debts owed. I started with debts because I do have student loans but are deferred. It’s the federal govt so you never know, right? I called the treasury offset phone number and found I had no debt. I waited until this morning, called the irs panicking, and they gave me the “because of the path act” speil. Yeah, okay, i get it, but that message is incredibly alarming and i wasnt convinced. The next thing I figured out was I needed to look at my transcripts. I saw that I had a tax transcript for 2017, so according to some people on this and other sites, that means nothing, but some say that it means the irs has processed it. I ended up ordering the account transcript, because I read that this updates with actions taken. I showed a 570 code with $0.00. I quickly gathered from various sites that this means a hold of some sort. Okay. But below that was code 896 with a positive amount listed next to it. This amount was identical to my penalty for not having healthcare. So, i was positive that this meant there was a hold of some sort because of the money owed for aca. I looked for hours and hours until I finally figured out that two years ago people had similar issues. What it amounted to was that the irs has to send this money from your account to the market place prior to releasing the 570 hold. The 570 will then be replaced with another code to indicate it’s release. There was a lot of speculation on sites about why some people had this code and why others didn’t, but the conclusion that was drawn on one page was that there wasn’t enough room in the batch to the marketplace, and that funds were delayed a week. If I understand correctly, the funds will be released on the next week’s cycle and from there, there is a 4 business day turnaround time to process and give a ddd.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I’m sure this isn’t the case for everyone on here, but it might apply to some. All the pieces add up in this scenario, for me at least, so I’m fairly confident I’ve gotten to the bottom of my issue. So, if anyone else with the 1541 code is able to order transcripts and shows the same information, this could be what’s going on. I apologize for so much info but I just wanted everyone to know how I figured all this out. Hopefully this helps someone.

I spoke with the IRS again, and he said he couldn’t see anything wrong with my return, just that I was under review and didn’t need to do anything.

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.

I filed on Jan 19. Called IRS last week (twice). Was told they were just reviewing info and it would take 60 days to complete. Said something along the lines that they could not verify my wages/withholdings as my employer had not sent it to them yet. Well, that can’t be true because my co-worker filed (with my problems) and has already received his refund back. (there’s only 3 of us that work here). On my 2nd call to the IRS, I was told that I shouldn’t have been told that about my verify my wages/withholdings. Said she reviewed my account in detail and they were just verifying my dependents. Which doesn’t make much sense either since I’ve been claiming the same two kids for the last 5 and 17 years. I had delays last year as well and didn’t get my refund until June!! I had a Tax Advocate as well. I called that same Tax Advocate last week just to see if she could help me again, but said I had to call the 877 # to be assigned to someone. However, she did look in her system and said the same thing that the IRS could not verify my wages/withholdings. I don’t know what to do at this point!

The 1541 code means there is a simple delay in processing your return. Both my husband, and 2 of his aunts work for the IRS. One in the computing division, and the other two in the Wage and Investment division. (Which handles the returns and refunds). In some cases when you call in to the IRS, you will get a temp worker who do not know how to cross reference the codes, or are too burned out and angry from prior calls to care about giving people the proper information. Your returns are simply delayed. There are no holds or reviews on them unless you receive a internal code that reference a review freeze. I hope this helps ease your minds. 😊

Just wondering when that’s going to go away. I’m tired of seeing it… When I called the IRS they told me it most likely wouldn’t update until the 22nd. I have been updating on Saturdays, so I am thinking I probably won’t see a change until Saturday. Then maybe a did for the 2nd of March is what she was telling me. I am planning on calling tomorrow to see if I can get more info. This is frustrating. I am in a very bad position. I need to get my money soon. I hate this whole PATH thing. I get not being able to receive refund until now, but do they really have to wait until the 15th to start processing? Geez why not process everyone as they come in and just hold the refund until the 15th?!

Same filing date and she was told the same thing when she called in. I hope the 570 drops this week and you all get a ddd. Let’s keep each other posted.

Mines been like that since 1/31/18. Says Take Action but then doesn’t say anything. Only when you click contact us does it list a reference #. I called and they said there’s no issues it’s because I’m an EITC filer and they will start processing on the 15th. Well it’s now the 18th and that message is still there. No letters, No other codes, No nothing. Turbo Tax doesn’t show any issues either. Anyone else in the same exact spot?

When I called the IRS this past Monday, I was told nothing was wrong and that I was just being delayed because of EITC and to expect an update 2/17. Imagine my surprise when here we are, the big day, and NOTHING. No update whatsoever. I’m heated.

I read that the delay could be a system glitch. Over load of returns which would make sense because my mom never updated to the path. She stayed at one bar and when she called they didn’t see anything wrong. No letters sent nothing. They told her to give it until the 27th

The person I spoke with said it could take anywhere to 45 days which would put me st April 1. He said if I received a letter it would be CP something. This has never happened to me. Will it take that long and what can I expect ? Will I see a update tonight or will they hold it until they’re finished reviewing me ?

My status was fine up until midnight. I only checked the where’s my refund site maybe three times after filing. I didn’t send mine in until the 27th of January. I’m positive I did everything correct I’ve been doing taxes since I was 19 years old I know the tax laws. This is a first for me and we can’t call and get any information until Tuesday go figure….

Rep said wait a week there just hasn’t been a refund release date yet. I asked then why would it say take action? Stumped her. She started in on the EITC/ACTC script that they give them, I was like oh no, that ended yesterday. All in all, she said wait a week. I figured that is the way she wan ted to get me off the phone.
