The review means that your return is pending because IRS is verifying information on your tax return (e.g., income items calculations, etc.). They may just have randomly chosen your return to review; no need to worry. They may contact you before processing your return.
The letter is a stall letter to delay it out there not actually processing anything there just not working on it and doing other things
We received the first letter in March Saying it would be completed on May 2. March 20th I received the 2nd letter stating they need an additional 60 days. Is that the time from when the letter was posted? It didn’t state a date on the second letter of when they would be finished. This is the first time we had issues. Have claimed the same for 5 yrs. Also,TurboTax went into my bank account and took the money out of what it was to file my return. How can they do that? It was suppose to come out of my return. What if I didn’t have that money in my account? It was $120 they took out without me knowing until I went in my account and seen. They should not be able to go into your account and take out the money when you choice to have it taken out of your return. They better not take it out of my return when I receive it, otherwise that will be a whole different issue.
I also was supposed to have it deducted from refund. In same boat as you with 60
Day letter. Appears as tho it is a TT issue with IRS. They also took the money out of my bank account I was told the 3rd party billing they have in place to deduct from refund is only in place for 30 days to when return is accepted. Anything after that they cannot take from your refund when it is dispersed since it is late. Supposedly in fine print you authorized that when you asked for it to be deducted from return. That is what TT told me when I called. Never again will I use them, lesson learned. Didn’t even stand by there clients. Clearly it’s in issue on their end it seems to be there software that caused this. Shame on them for not allowing people accurate time for it to be worked out.
And with response to 60 days it’s date of the letter. Your looking at May 20 as I am June 15- I am thinking this will be like a Christmas club at this point. Good luck all
I'm still waiting on my refund, I won't know anything until the 1st or 2nd week in May hopefully everything works out.

Filled mine in January and still being reviewed first time ever using turbo tax an it's taking longer then ever
I have been using turbotax for 11 years and this is the first time they have ever sent me this letter.
I just received my second notice as well saying it is going to need another 60 days.
So you have received this letter prior to this year, or do you mean this is the second letter you have received this year?
March 11th they sent me a letter saying I was under review for 45 days then just 2 days later on the 13th they sent another letter out saying they needed 60 days. Like What changed in 2 days that now you need 60 days. At this point I don't even think I'll be receiving my taxes they probably keeping all our money for the wall
That’s strange. One of my family members told me his girlfriend had this happen to her in two different years. The first year I guess the lady who did hers messed up on the credits and the IRS adjusted it to where she ended up receiving $400 less than what she was originally getting back. Then the second time was when apparently the Russians had hacked into the IRS system and were doing a review and double checking everyones refund to make sure it wasn’t a fake Russian account???Something I wasn’t even aware of. I can’t imagine what could change in just two days.
If you don’t mind me asking(just to see if maybe it’s just certain people), what is your filing status? Do u also have EIC? I have EIC and my filed was H.O.H.(head of household).
Have you tried calling them and getting as much info as possible? I keep forgetting to call???
I called them before I recieved the letter and the lady told me it wont be issued until the 25th of this month then I got that letter idk if its becuz I called but kinda messed people that work hard and have to wait a lot longer then those who fake their taxes to get more back an the irs is to stupid to realise that
Yeah. My friend just told me she got her second letter today stating she won’t get hers til May 2nd. I also received my second letter but haven’t been home to open it yet. I will update when i find out. I’m really just curious as to why they are being delayed, honestly.???
So, my letter says they will be done reviewing my account on May 2nd. From then, they said I will receive either a refund check or another letter from them. Smh.
@lawrencesj07 I have called and they keep referring me back to the letter telling me to just wait. Actually the first time I called they said my refund was already processed but I just had to wait the 45 days but then the second letter came and she just told me at this time I have to wait that it's because of the path act and everybody has to go through it. I know that is a lie because plenty of people have received refunds. Also I have eic and hoh. This is just beyond me.
@paynek2013 the same thing with me except mines dated for May 12 I went to the irs building and the lady was acting so clueless all she kept saying is I’m not sure how this happened why are they doing this to you then told me just wait I should get it by the 60 days
Wow. Yeah once I read my second letter I figured there was no point in calling because it says there is nothing I can do at this time. So waiting until May is the only option.
