I got the same thing exactly. Ive read around and the 151 means its being reviewed still and that you may owe something weather it be a student loan a traffic ticket etc.... The 1242 means they are going to need something from you like proof of a birth certificate on a dependent or foster care papers etc... They should send you a letter explaining. I havnt gotten a letter yet. Im hoping this can be fixed because i dont owe anything never have i believe its because i claimed my two foster children for the first time.
I have the same code but with no reference number. I received partial of my federal refund last night. I havent received no letters & i dont owe any offsets so idk if j should call at this point or what
You can call. They IRS may have made adjustments because you might of owed more taxes or a penalty for health insurance.
What day did you file and what day did the irs accepted you refund?
We also got the 1242 status code, we received a letter telling us to send in more proof of head of household, birth certificates for the kids, etc. We received back a tiny amount of money so we called to see why and was told to just wait for another letter in the mail. I don't know why either they never really said, so we're just waiting for that letter.
tax code 151 1242 i spoke to someone she said cant give me any information then why irs made you call if they cant tell you any thing
I sent in all the info requested then get a letter saying by 7/3/18 they should be done i got a tax advocate well see if we can speed it up
I have the same message but i received $41 of my refund have yet to receive a letter from the IRS
When i called to weeks ago they said i needed to fax my insurance info. this is kind of rediculous
Very I've been through the ringer this year with this insurance BS. Sad thing about it is that I had insurance from both of my employers the entire year and they still haven't sent my letter on what else they could possibly need. I'm done paying taxes
I sent in the requested information regarding my foster children (in April) and I received a letter stating that I should hear a response by October 24, 2018...smh
So i have my friends kids and i claimed themst yr because she sent them to live with me because she doesn't have an apartment or a job and said i can claim them. I didnt have this issue last year and now all of a sudden they need this and that. We didn't go to court for me to have them so what documents can i possibly give them, seeing how i live in one state and they were born in another. Trumo is fuckimg everything up for everybody. Asshole
Did you all at least receive partial refund? Have any of you talked to its
Nothing yet got an tax advocate to speed things up even fax all paper work over
In 2017 i got what was owed to me without the children but this time i havent recieved anything. Just audited right off the bat for the same foster children as 2017. Its rediculious. Yesterday i faxed over everything they asked for so we shall see. I did the same for 2017 and they never fixed it and im still fighting that year as well. So honestly i dont even know what to do. Only so much paperwork to prove foster kids. The foster agreement is supposed to be all that is needed seeing as it is a legal document from this county placing these two kids at my address.
Anyone else have this problem with claiming foster children? Anyone get it resolved? And how?
