Where's my refund says there is a delay with a reference number 1541. What does that mean?

@dennisray84 I had a debt that was owed to the IRS from 2016 and honestly, I’m glad it’s paid! Lol

Where's my refund says there is a delay with a reference number 1541. What does that mean?

I filed 1/31 and received delayed reference 1541, take action. I called and they said wait until the 27th. Another said could be an offset. Called and there are no offsets. So I guess I’m waiting for the 27th to see if anything changes. I haven’t received a letter or anything. Hope everything checks out!

If I got topic 1541 and 1242 "We received... it's being reviewed" no letter, got refund not associated with eic and actc could they still release that portion the 27th?

I received my portion not including eic and actc this morning.   I'm assuming they want to verify something but I haven't gotten a letter yet.  When reading I see things that say don't expect your eic/actc related refunds to be deposited before the 27th.  Is it likely they would do separate deposits?

Update: Just got off the phone with IRS they say i was marked with a Two week delay & that i should know something by March 5 either an update in status online or a letter in the mail if something’s wrong so it’s the waiting process now...from what it sounds like it was just a random selection ....at least  have a possible date to know something....I’ll keep y’all updated

I got a portion of my federal,  just not the eic or actc I claimed.  I'm assuming they'll need some info but haven't got nothing yet asking.  I'll be surprised if they just deposit it next week.  I've claimed the same 3 kids for the last few years they're all mine but 2 have diff last names
