I received the message Take Action: Your refund is delayed Reference code 1541. Never seen that in the history of filing my taxes ! Anybody else seen this?

[jmelbing]

I just got off the phone with an agent (after trying several times) and she advised me that the 1541 code is having to do with the credits that people are claiming on taxes this year..... she advised that she also filed on 1/28 and has the same 1541 Delayed message that we all have gotten.... i advised her that other peoples taxes (that i done this year) that also claimed kids and the EIC has not gotten the 1541 delayed message and some even got an DDD of 2/22.... she said every ones situation is different and should expect a refund the week of 2/27...... fingers crossed

[robynm1991]

Well let's hope... cause I cant even get through !

[Deao1234]

I called and she told me the same thing as well

[Deao1234]

All due to the path act no issue with my return
and still processing

[sarabblair70]

I can't get thru! :(  But I am keeping up with everyone's responses, hoping for the same.......27th

[mbanton6]

Will keep my fingers cross that we all get out DDD by 2/27

So free her looking more into it. She is saying it’s under further review and 45 days from March 4th. To watch for a letter. That’s all she could tell me

Can’t get through either. So for some people it’s further review, but there are some who have the same message who have nothing wrong? This tax season seems like such a mess.

So finally i spoke with someone. Anyone that did not file their taxes for any previous years, they are holding your 2018 tax until you file those previous years.

Last week I spoke with HR and block tax guy and he said that IRS is doing a fine tooth comb through returns this year due to the fact that there's I'd theft and fruad in past years

I called the IRS to inquire about the TAKE ACTION on wmr. The customer service agent told me to look for a refund the week of the 27th of February due to certain credits. I dont believe she actually looked up anything and she was reading off a script. She didnt ask me for any personal information( not even to verify my address)  

[sarabblair70]

Ok....... just got off the phone with IRS. For my situation, it's  just the PATH ACT holding up my return. Should see deposit by 27th.  I have been filing the same job, same children, same address, same everything for years now, so I guess for those of us that do not have any changes, then maybe it's just the PATH delay. I hope so. He said he did not see a letter going out or anything. Will update if anything changes though. I wish everyone the best and GOOD LUCK!!

[mbanton6]

They ask me to verify my ss#, my kids, my address, when I filed, my w2’s and my expected  refund amount then said look for refund by 2/27, if not to call them back

[sarabblair70]

Oooooohhh shayna_ken..... that does sound like she was just saying whatever, cuz the guy I spoke with ask me like 10 different questions!

[goodkal]

1541 is a delay because of 21 days or they are reviewing your EIC. I just got off the phone and the lady is telling me to watch for a letter on or before 3/4 and there is 45 days wait to check our EIC. And this is all she can provide at this time.
