How long after I received a letter from the IRS that my return being further reviewed will I see an update?

No one can predict that from this forum.  Only the IRS is in control.   TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.   No one at TT knows that your return is being reviewed or why.  Some reviews are random; some reviews are triggered by something on your return or by something the IRS thinks is missing on your return.  If the IRS wants more information from you they will ask for it in a letter.   Until then, you can  continue to watch for information on the IRS refund site or call the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:   

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
