I've tried 312. It does the same thing. Won't even let me hold for long.

I called the IRS on that code1541....

 

The representative I spoke with told me two things with my refund;  

1st: EIC will not be issued until the 27th

2nd: Mine has a 45 day review. A letter of explanation will follow and then you should receive your refund in this time.

Atleast you know what to expect. I was told that it’s under review until March 4. And if there is anything needed additional I would get a letter and It will be under review for 45 days. They won’t tell me if I will receive an letter or if I’m not

The way it sounded to me, if they are "reviewing", than you will receive a letter. It appears its a random review. Or could be if your taxes is significantly different than last year. I woulldnt worry, its just frustrating .

This is exactly what I was told so I’m assuming this is a common code this year and it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your return, they are just behind in processing.

They’re just behind due to the government shut down. They recently shutdown again (after Valentines Day) and only some of the federal government employees remained working to process returns

Ext 462

However if you don’t use the extension make sure you select options stating your trying to get a tax form, do not select “check the status of my refund” I had to call multiple times before getting in but I did get through

Avoid options that lead to checking the status of your refund. Select that you are trying to get a form or check an amended return and it’ll go through
