No need to worry. According to the IRS website What to expect for Refunds This Year more than 9 out of 10 refunds are issued in less than 21 days after the IRS accepts the tax return when you e-file and choose direct deposit as your refund choice. Your return may take this full time period or a little longer this year.
Where’s My Refund? has the most up to date information available about your refund. The tool is updated daily (usually overnight) so you will just usually need to check once a day.
For more on the timing of your refund please see this TurboTax FAQ.
If you are anticipating a state tax return refund those processing times vary from state to state. To check on a state refund please visit your state Department of Revenue website.
What would prevent the IRS from processing the return and potential initiating an audit?
Only the IRS knows why a audit would be triggered, having a processing time that goes beyond 21 days does not automatically mean you will be audited.
Why do you indicate this year it will take the full time if not a little longer?
This response is based on some returns are taking the full 21 days or longer, this comment was not based on your tax return specifically.
Thank you.
Can you comment on the reasons why a return would be audited immediately upon review there fore preventing a refund from being paid?
Just from what you have experienced?
I am really getting concerned and just trying to plan for whether I am actually not going to get my refund as it is needed very very badly.
Can you look at my return and determine how much of a chance there is it will get audited?
Like I said this time frame is the longest I have seen in several years.
I am sorry to harass you and I appreciate any help you can provide
Thank you.
