I have this thing set up with the USPS called informed mail, I can actually see what's being delivered before I get it. I see not 1 but 2 letters from the IRS, I'll update you guys when ever the mailman runs.

I am talking to a tax advocate since the irs wasn’t much help. He is working on seeing why my account is under review.

[robynm1991]

Talk to the IRS saying that my tax return is under review . And of course they dont know why yet . The said they have 45 days from March 4th to either sent me a letter or my refund  somehow I dont see myself getting it any time soon .

No, a tax transcript will not help you determine when you will get your refund. This is among the common myths and misconceptions that are often repeated in social media. The codes listed on tax transcripts do not provide any early insight into when a refund will be issued. The best way to check on your refund is by visiting Where’s My Refund?

"While transcripts include a lot of detailed information regarding actions taken on your account, the codes do not mean the same thing for everyone and they do not necessarily reflect how any of these actions do or do not impact the amount or timing of your refund. IRS transcripts are best and most often used to validate past income and tax filing status for mortgage, student and small business loan applications and to help with tax preparation."

The 2 letters I received was transcripts not what I was hoping for ugh. The IRS really needs to get it together and real fast.
