What is tax topic 1541

[bluedeb · Accepted solution]

The code 1541 is a generic internal code used by the IRS to identify returns that have been "Delayed". There are different reasons accounting for the 1541 reference number; so not everyone's reason will be the same. ... The most general reason is typically that they have a backlog of returns and are behind on processing. Or, You claimed Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax credit (those were held til mid-Feb before they begin processing)

The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or debit cards starting February 27, 2019, if these taxpayers chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.
