 According to the IRS website, there are sometimes delays in processing the returns they receive. They list the reasons for delays. See below.   

• Includes errors   

• Is incomplete   

• Is affected by identity theft or fraud   

• Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit.    

• Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which could take up to 14 weeks to process   

• Needs further review in general   

You can call the IRS, if it has been longer than 21 days, at 1-800-829-1040. 

When calling the IRS do NOT choose Option 1. 

Choose Option 2  

Then Press 1  

Then Press 4 

Then Press 2, it will then transfer you to an agent.
