Why is my tax return still delayed?

I have received 2 letters from the irs telling me to wait 60 days.  The second letter says they are waiting for my tax account information to be available in their computer system. Please help!

Why is my tax return still delayed?

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your return and the IRS accepts it for processing.  TT cannot help or speed up the IRS for you.   This is between you and the IRS.  Only the IRS can tell you what they are doing.

 

 

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.

Why is my tax return still delayed?

TurboTax receives no information about your return once it is filed. You just have to wait for a response from the IRS.
