On a cp12 notice, does my refund come 4-6 weeks from the date on the notice?

[jillrd77]

I received a CP12 letter stating I am due a refund for the refundable child tax credit, recovery rebate credit.  The letter said I should contact the IRS by June 24, 2022. if I disagree.  If I agree, I should do nothing and wait for the refund, which should take 4-6 weeks.  I  do not owe any taxes and I am still waiting for the check. 

Is there someone I can contact to check the status of the refund check?

@jillrd77 Only the IRS can tell you.  TurboTax does not receive any information after you file your tax return.

The IRS is severely backlogged, so many things are taking much longer than normal.

To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

Have you gotten your refund yet and how did it take?

I would suggest you keep your mailing address up to date and create an account so that you can see your transcripts.  They may have sent you a letter in regard to any delays.  I have yet to receive a return.  I messed up somewhere possibly.

Hello. I received a cp12 letter back in March of 2022 (I filed taxes in February). My taxes were changed but they owed me more money not less. I was told I had the 60 days to contest it and as of May 27th within 4 to 6 weeks I would receive my return. I have not received anything no paper check not a direct deposit. I have used TurboTax for years but last year I used Tax firm USA. No one will respond from the company. I have tried to reach out to the IRS for months and cannot get an appointment. I am fearful that if I file my taxes this year that I may not get them either. Can somebody please tell me what's going on and why I never got my tax return? I don't owe any other outside organizations. All I know is that my CP 12 letter again stated that I was actually owed back more money and I never received any of it
