@Twyshay how long after contacting them did it take for them to finish it up? I did the same and they told me that they sent in a refund release but due to Covid-19 their out of the office currently in that department.

I filed early, it was received around 1/22/20. February 15th my status says I’m under review. I should receive a letter within 30 calendar days… Tomorrow would be 60 calendar days and I still have not received any and only partial refund. I have not been able to get a hold of anyone and now with the coronavirus virus, offices are either closed or impossible to get through when calling the IRS. What an I supposed to do?

@Ash so your 151 was only for state taxes owe? And you have to wait 45 days does the 45 days start from the date you receive the tax topic 151? And did you also have take action? Thank you your response in advance
-
March 16, 2020 at 8:47 pm #4394725Ash
I filed on jan 17th. Said accepted then bar dissapeared. I called they said they randomly selected people for further review. I’ve always
Claimed head of house hold and claimed my 1 child. Nothing different in 10 years. I got a letter they applied my state towards something. But IRs said nothing is holding my refund except the review.. does it really take 45 days?? -
March 16, 2020 at 2:11 am #4394354Sarah
Why is all this happening everyone’s seems to be under review my fiences is under review and they already released his state for a offset so how are they under review ?
-
March 15, 2020 at 9:49 pm #4394322
@patientviv41, unfortunately, I don’t have enough familiarity with IRS processing practices to flesh out why you’re experiencing a delay. Did you receive a refund? Maybe the IRS is questioning your eligibility for the credits. The only thing I can think of to suggest is contacting your tax preparer.

March 8, 2020 at 7:20 pm #4390679
@patientviv41, what does your WMR say? You may need to confirm that your routing and account #s were correct. Contact your bank.
The only other thing I can think of, since you say the amount is only for your withholding, is that while that has been cleared, the IRS is still reviewing the credits you have claimed.
-
March 8, 2020 at 7:18 pm #4390677
*you’re…sorry.
-
March 8, 2020 at 7:17 pm #4390675
@patientviv41 At the risk of redundancy, have you received any letters? Have you called the IRS or reached out to a tax advocate? The tax code 420 means ‘Examination of tax return’. You can definitely call in and get more info about your missing refund. Looks like either your refund was applied to a debt, held up for another reason or your really missing your refund.
-
March 8, 2020 at 6:38 pm #4390659
@tryingtopatientlywait And @thicks
The date on the 846 code is 2/26 for which has passed and the amount was only for my withholding… that I still haven’t received. Smdh I don’t know what’s going on.
-
March 8, 2020 at 5:50 pm #4390650
@patientviv41, I believe 846 means your refund has been approved. Is there a date behind “846”?
-
March 8, 2020 at 5:49 pm #4390648
@patientviv41 You’re good to go! 846 is the refund issued code. What date is beside 846? That’s your direct deposit date (DDD).

I know some has been waiting longer. For me its 19 Days, No State or Fed return yet! Filed/Accepted on Feb 18.. Fed still says accepted with 152 code, State just says no record? Idk, just gets frustrating!!
-
March 8, 2020 at 12:59 pm #4390582
@Pissedviv Do you have any of the problematic codes: 570, 871, etc? If so, those have to be resolved first and it’s supposed to be done before your AOD. Also, keep in mind that if you’re a Daily, the info can change/update on Tuesday. If you’re a Weekly, the info will only update once a week (Friday). If your AOD has passed, call the IRS and be referred to a Tax Adocate ASAP!

Both my as of date and processing date have been for 3/2/20 since the first time I checked my transcripts…I have a 570 for 3-2 and a 971 for 3-9 that is holding me up. Seen on here where other people have had similar codes and still received their ddd so I’m hoping I get that lucky.
-
March 8, 2020 at 12:25 pm #4390570
I have a “as of date” for 3/16/2020. Does this mean I will see by refund before this date??
-
March 6, 2020 at 2:24 pm #4389694
(Cont’d) If you see that the AOD has changed, that means that they need more time. I found this out through my own experience, multiple calls to the IRS and a tax advocate, plus researching the IRS TC Manuel. I really hope this tidbit helps someone with their wait.
-
March 6, 2020 at 2:24 pm #4389693
I hope that this info proves to be helpful: once your return is processed (processing date will be available when your transcript is complete), the AS OF DATE is what’s important. Everything must be complete, including TC 846, before the AS OF DATE.

Like I’ve been saying, these reviews are stall tactics in most cases to give IRS more time. They had computer issues. Many 4464c letter receivers including myself, got an update today for DDD of 3/4.
From what I can see, we were all in batch of letters sent 2/20. I called an asked to expedite review due to hardship, but others did not and have update. I bet many of you will have update for DDD of 3/9, that’s next deposit after 3/4

That’s so weird to be audited just because we claimed EITC. Not every person that claims EITC is suspicious. I’ve claimed it since 2013.

They told me I was under a 60 day review for accuracy the first time and then when I called them again I purposely asked if I had an offset they said no I was being audited for eic. That I had no offset. Now I did through state they took that already could that affect my fed?

Did anyone wake up this morning with a change on their transcripts with a 151 on wmr? Alot of people are getting the 571 code resolved on their transcripts. I can’t see mine so was wondering If 151 is a real review or audit or we have hope too.

I was under random review last year. no major changes in my return for the previous 8 years. It’s random, they give no answers, mail shit tons of letters, etc. In fact, I got my refund after speaking with a tax advocate and mailing in pay stubs on 3/27, yet on 5/29 I got a letter saying they needed more time and where the amount of days was supposed to be, it was blank! lol
Has nothing to do with filing early, turbotax or anything.
This year I filed 1/31 and got my DDD 2/26.

The guy we talked to said we were under random review. We also have TT 152 on WMR. We have a 971 code but have received no letter yet. Not sure exactly what’s going on but this isn’t the first battle we’ve dealt with with the irs. Hope it works out for all of you!

February 27, 2020 at 5:06 pm #4384830TaxCane10
I filed on 28th and was accepted
Last Saturday I got the tax topic 151
I received half of my refund yesterday.For those of you who just filed and received the Take action review on WMR: They will release half of your refund but will hold on to the credits on your original DDD.
I didn’t claim kids, just education credits which they are holding onto. 🙄
I am waiting for a letter, if any. If I dont receive anything within two weeks, I will make a phone call. -

February 25, 2020 at 10:12 am #4376428
Does everyone that is under review or have a 570 code show an amount on your account transcript as an account balance (negative number)? I have 570 code, but my account transcript shows a negative number (which is an account balance) which is the same as my return amount.A negative number is a good thing, just wondering if this means my return was processed just waiting for the hold to be lifted.

Same here @The Bomar
told me I hadnt been classified and that it may not be audit or exam. Said a letter was since Feb 21. I filed in January. they released withholdings in Jan and not my school credit yet..still no letter yet and no notice 971 code yet either. sounds like some people got caught in this by error? turbotax maybe.. -

Spent about two hours on the phone this morning, two different calls, one trying to make an appointment with the local office just to meet with someone face to face to go over all the things they are “auditing”. All the worry, the confusion, the stress, and all of that just to be told that I might not even be getting audited..that I have to wait the next 30 days to simply find out if I’m going to be audited, but currently I’m not and no clue if I will be. Glorious freaking time.

@Missy, occasionally, the IRS randomly select. In yrs past, you never had an issue, this yr you are one of the choosen! Honestly the idverify isn’t always a taxing (pun intended), ordeal. Some cases are as simple as confirming some info on return.

@Missy
I had id verify a few yrs ago. As soon as I got the still processing screen I scheduled an app at the local it’s office. I didn’t get the letter from irs until 3 weeks after I id verified. If that’s a possibility for you I would just do that. They didnt need a letter and it was really quick -
February 23, 2020 at 8:34 am #4369589Missy
@ Brett. Thank you very much for this info. Then it must just be I need to ID verify. I dont get it I never have had any issues and nothing on my end has changed in years. I wish I would just get my letter already. Cant read my transcripts cuz student loans dont Match for some stupid reason. I tell ya just another way of holding on to our hard earned money. I’m going to work and changing my dependents now. I work hard for my money to just keep getting screwed by the gov.

@missy
If you got an advance you dont have offsets you wouldnt be approved because the govt needs there koney before they ship your refund to you I had an offset the past 2 tear and since 2012 when they started the RAL TO RA now I was denied those 2 years I had an offset every other year was approved for one including this year

Did anyone else on here being reviewed get a tax advance? I dont know If that could be the reason. Went through tt and it seems if I owe the irs I wouldnt get it cuz they wouldnt get their money back. Still so confusing.
