Saturday morning wmr updated with take action code 1541 extension 312? What does that mean? I have not gotten any letters or anything and was expecting the PATH message.

I have take action code 1541 and it says to call with an extension 312. I am not sure what it means or what could be wrong. I did try to call the IRS but it said they are closed. 

This feature is pending. Thanks for your patience.

1541 is a code used by the IRS that means a delay in issuing your refund.  It could be various reasons as to why you are under this particular code.  Please see below on how to reach the IRS via phone:

1-800-829-1954 Monday - Friday 7AM-7PM local time.  To get to a live agent quicker: Choose Option 2, then Option 1, then Option 3, then Option 2. When it asks for a social security number or EIN, don't enter anything.  After asking twice, it should send you to another menu.  Then press Option 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
