Kinda same situation. All mine is same as yours and havent received letter so i called. First thing that stopped return was IRS fault. Receive my w2 at the time of my filing. Accepted Feb3, IRS received last two w2s feb 4, scanned in as 1 w2 so return is stopped processing until they receive all w2s. No more filing with last paycheck of year. So when i called and talked to IRS employee, best one ever,he spent 30min with me reviewing my return because the 30 day review letter was vague. I answered a couple questions and he said no reason why I am being reviewed or audited. Perfect tax return and perfect tax history. IRS is making me prove my 2 sons are mine and that im hoh. Mind you that I've claimed my son's the last 12 and 14 years as head of household as they are 12 and 14. It just seems like a total crock to mess with a small-time taxpayer like me with a perfect return.

No i have not received any letter yet, but I called irs last week, spoke to someone and I was told I had a debt with state of NM, I called the state and I was told that they will be receiving their money soon

[Flaco1]

Yes I owe money to state of New Mexico that’s why my refund is on hold

@Mjg207426  Hello, what did u have to confirm? I guess my question is one everybody wondering do we need to get information together to prove hoh and child credit? 

[Holdingfaith]

@Guido Hello, so their going to release your refund until you send documents? Besides birth certificate what other of documents do they accept?

[dewilson2023]

@Holdingfaith Yes

I faxed over my debit card statement, hotel receipt for your, school release letter on nephews with same address as hotel. One nephew's went to dentist Last year so that paperwork. W2 print out because has hotel address on it.

We shall see what they say. Praying it's enough.

[Flaco1]

Well everything changed here, I spoke to a male at the irs last Monday, was told that my hold up was 329 dlls that I owed to the state of New Mexico, I received a notice today and what they are asking is proof of earned income, American opportunity credit form it doesn’t say a word pertaining the offset, are they all in the same page, what is going on!😡
