I received a LTR 4883C letter from the IRS, and now after proving my identity, my refund according to the IRS, is going to be delayed by 9 weeks. What the heck?

I got the same thing and paid extra to TT. I know I shouldn't have been but I was counting on my tax refund this month!! I'm angry

Happened to me too. Got the letter today and was told same tbing...up to 9 weeks. Will NOT use turbotax again

will it really take 9 weeks ? I verified yesterday night & my bars still have no reappeared

I verified yesterday (2/20) - has anyone received their refund before 9 weeks?

i got the same letter

I'm on the line Waiting for the IRS NOW

Same here. On hold

What a joke

Same here!!!!

no problem last year with taxact now i use turbo tax and get this  stupid letter.

On hold now

Maybe it's because we paid extra

I was told I was getting a letter over 2 weeks and still ain't got the letter.

Just waited an hour for them to ask a couple questions an tell me to wait up to nine weeks for return

Well hopefully I will receive my letter before to much longer.

I'll keep everyone updated. I called in again today to make sure they had everything they need and they do...time to start praying.

I got this today too. I think ut may be because I claimed our Baby that was born in December. It might also be due to some moving expenses I claimed? Im not sure. But I was really counting on getting that Money New Borns are expensive!

Well I have a new baby that I claimed too. But we shall see.

I received the same letter and called today.  They told me 9 weeks

Leivakevy what all did they ask you? It seems like TONS of people got this letter in the past couple weeks.

They asked last year's employers and income and all my kids names,  dates of birth,  and ss#'s and for my bank info and how much my refund is.

My rep told me it doesn't take that long but it can take UP to 9weeks my boyfriend said it happened to him before an after verifying he got his refund shortly after. Like 14days later

That is great news! The rep told me I should be able to check status in 6 weeks.  Only time will tell.  Thanks for the info!
