I got a letter from the irs asking for form 8962. I filled it out and mailed it back to the IRS. Will this delay my refund and if so how long will it be delayed?

They will finish processing your return as soon as they get the 8962 back and entered into their system.  They say it takes 6 weeks, but I find they process those much more quickly than that.

When did you mail it and have you received your refund yet? I'm having the same problem. I mailed mine 2/22...

I’m having he same problem and it pissed me off. I filed my taxes January 24th and got approved he same day. They sent a letter and I filled it out and faxed it back in February 12th the same day I got it. Yesterday made 6 weeks business days. And they still processing it

So when did you end up getting it? I'm going through that this year.

Any update? My refund got approved January 28th. February 23rd I got the letter requesting these forms. Mailed them next day shipping February 25th. Curious how long this is going to take

@Esquivelang1205 It looks like it is taking approximately 6-8 weeks if you mailed the 8962 form. Please see this discussion on this topic.

I got my DDD today. So it took about 3 weeks after I mailed the form back in.

just wondering how long it will take?

[AkinaLO]

It could take a few weeks from the time you submit the form for the IRS to issue your refund. Please keep tracking your refund through Where's My Refund?.

i check wehres my refund everyday and it says the same thing, when will is ee a change, also why was i not informed by anyone that i needed this form filled out??? turbo tax took my money but i didnt  get my refund, thats sorry!

[thebellefemme7]

why would they wait so long to mail us these forms???? it only adds more days or weeks or months for us to wait for our refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaraLO]

Once your return is accepted by the IRS, they take over all updates.  Therefore, we cannot say for certain when your refund status will change in Where's My Refund.

If it's been more than 21 days since your return was accepted, we suggest contacting the IRS directly to inquire about your refund. Go here for tips on reaching a live IRS agent when you call.
