1541 is an an internal code that the IRS uses to identify returns that have been "Delayed". Typically saying that they are holding your refund until you resolve past filling issues aka didnt file, filed incorrectly, filed and you owe, back taxes owed from federal or state, Back due child support ,Even eic , or earned income credit. You should receive a letter within 30 days requesting information from the IRS.

I would recommend to contact the IRS directly mention the reference the code 1541 to them. You can reach them at +1(800) 829-1040
