IRS Reference Code 1121 indicates your account has been selected for further review. If you call the IRS and ask them if your account is frozen,…they have to tell you yes or no. If it is, you can expect a delay. If you are experiencing a hardship due to the delay you can request a taxpayer advocate to assist you in getting your refund released. 

If you think you might have a possible refund offset for a delinquent debt you can use the information below to verify.

 Bureau of the Fiscal Service 

Contact the BFS's Treasury Offset Program (TOP) call center at 800-304-3107 or TDD 866-297-0517, Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. Contact the IRS only if your original refund amount shown on the BFS offset notice differs from the refund amount shown on your tax return.
