If my refund on the IRS website says still processing does it mean I will be audited?

[hairky31]

I just called the irs and they told me my return was selected for random review. I filed my taxes February 1 and at first the website had bars and then they disappeared. Now it kept saying your tax return is still being processed and a date will be available soon. I called them and that's when they said I have to wait 45 days from February 14.

I'm tired of trying to get a straight answer. Just waiting it out until April. 9 weeks from Monday takes me past the deadline to file taxes....WOW UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I had EIC and CTC and we filed the 23rd of jan and ours was pulled for review as well and they will not give u any certain answers ive called multiple times and everyone always says something different. they have all said it can take up to 45 days and if I haven't received it then to call. that puts me at april 1st ! They also said at this time no letter has been sent and that there is nothing I can do. I have had the rudest people there even been hung up on 2 times . I just want answers . Its ridiculous

I totally understand they are so unprofessional and they lied to I will just keep trying to call and see if you can get someone to tell you someone different you know what I mean cuz I don't see why they can't tell you why you're under review especially when it's past 21 days I never did get my letter either what are they waiting for to me they paid out so much money on January 17th maybe they just trying to wait to pay other people that money it is ridiculous they can let people know what's going on with their refund

[kbowling0720]

What grinds my gears is they act like they can't see anything ?? Like really ? U are the IRS you have information to everything but you cant tell me why I'm being reviewed ? It's more frustrating because they won't give you any information and there is no way to speed the process up. I don't under why the WMR doesn't indicate anything either. After the 27th if they don't give me further  reasoning i'm going to contact a tax advocate or something. I've been waiting this long as it is a month today and now your telling me I'm going to have to wait another month ?!

[clarkbarbara10]

The things they do make people dread even filing their taxes every year I don't know what they call themselves doing they messed with the wrong people yes call after the 27th if it was me I'll be calling from now on until the 27th and whenever somebody need to tell you something

5 million returns under review!!  what they looking for??? The secret to beat the decepticons!! Geesh!!! My mom has filed last week, got her state and her federal will be deposited on the 26th!!! They want to stop fraud but already have 225,000 errounous returns been filed!! How did they slip through APRROVED!!! Really

[kbowling0720]

I still can't believe they can't give anyone more information. Like no one has received a letter , no one has received anything on the WMR stating what they are looking into so what if we never get a letter and we never know what they was looking at. I was also told today mine was assigned to the part of the IRS dealing with the income because apparently some numbers was off by like 3. Yet they couldn't give me any numbers or faxes or anything for the dept. and its not assigned to one person apparently it's a GROUP.

[kbowling0720]

I was also told that apparently all these refunds that done went our was referred to a " test batch" and the next round would go out starting the 27th . Don't know how true that was, and if any of us will be lucky enough to be in that batch but if I have to wait till April 1st I'm going to be extremely pissed off.

[clarkbarbara10]

You all right all those reviews but a lot of people are getting through the cracks and specially people as filing self employment most of those are bogus Texas and people do it every year and get their money why don't they have them on the review

[clarkbarbara10]

I don't know you just have to wait and see I'll called in mines was under review because of mnsure and I talked to somebody before hand and they told me something similar about their start giving refunds after the 27th but he was not truthful call the third time talk to a lady and she gave me my information I needed to fax an to them everybody is situation is different guess we have no choice but to wait but I'm not I'm just waiting for my stuff to come in the mail from mnsure and fax it to them and they said they will process my return

[hairky31]

That's exactly what im saying about the people filing fraudulent returns and get away with it. I have simple w2 and my same children i been claiming for years and get randomly pulled. Smh terrible. Waiting until April, is going to be 2 months.

[rinehartjennifer]

I am single parent, easy W2, same children for 18 years and I have been battling cancer for over a year now and I need my refund to continue my treatment.  This is really gonna be unfortunate if there is a delay.... I wish they cared about people as much as their stupid processes....

I filed my taxes Jan 25th, by Feb 15th it updated on WMR that it's been received and processing. Ive filed the same kids, EIC and CTC each year, martial status hasn't changed. The only change is I haven't filed in the same state as I normally do. I moved from VA to PA and been working in DE and just filed my 1st W-2 since moving. I knew something was wrong so I called IRS yesterday (got right through) was told because of EIC and CTC refunds will be issued the week of Feb 27th (which I knew). But I insisted she review my return status just to be sure. Was told my refund is under 45 day review she asked if I received a letter, I said no and she then confirmed one has not been sent and that's all the info she had. April 1st and the waiting begins. I will still call IRS each week until then.

It's really sad how they just take people's money out their paycheck every 2 weeks or maybe even weekly but can't seem to pay them when they're supposed to find some type of way to prolong it I really believe they find people to screw with every year to keep that job going and I can't stress this enough people doing self-employment all the biggest scammers and they don't mess with them at all I don't trust IRS and I never will
