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

I got my code on Saturday on the 17th. So i am hoping it is a delay like it says but i will make a call Tuesday to double check. I have filed the same way the last 4 years and never been through this. Hopefully it is due to high volume delays. I will update.

I filed on 1/28 got the approval the next day 1/29. I checked the website and it had. No real information just the bar that said refund received. I checked again on Friday 2/16 and it had the delay code 1541. I called the IRS the same day and they said that the computer randomly picks refunds to be reviewed and that they don’t see an issue but I should receive a letter in the mail if there is a problem within 4-6 weeks and it could take up to 45 days to receive my refund. I have been checking the site daily since then and the code is still up that says my refund is delayed. I’m praying it is released as I also really needed my refund.

UPDATE: I called in this morning and was told that I had a debt from 2016 (federal debt). My refund was offset and basically satisfied the debt. I have a small difference that will be DD in about 4-6 weeks.
