We wouldn't have information on the status of your return once it is accepted by the IRS.  If they have advised it is Under Review, you will need to wait until they advise of the resolution.  If you need to reach back out to the IRS, please see the below details on how to get in contact with them:

IRS: 800-829-1040  

Hours: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM (local time zone)

Monday-Friday

• 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.

Or, you can visit your local IRS Office.
