Why my refund is being held

Sorry for the delay. This does not mean there is anything wrong. The IRS has always and always will review a certain number of returns.  It does not mean there is a problem.

The acceptance of your return by the IRS does not mean your return has been error-checked or reviewed. Instead, it means the IRS acknowledges receipt of the return. The return then enters a processing or review stage in which IRS computers scan the return to check for errors and verify the inclusion of all forms and schedules needed. After the computer review is over, the return is either approved, flagged for errors or flagged for a personal review.  

Unless you have received a letter asking for additional information, then your return is probably in the error checking review stage.  This year, the IRS is reviewing more returns with EIC and Child tax credit.

Why my refund is being held

My taxes are being held because the turbo tax expert gave me the wrong info to put in for the market place insurance now they are telling me 128 days before I receive it I don't feel I should have to pay turbo tax if they were the cause of the delay
