Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You could also ask "Why not me?" Anyone's return can be put under review. Sometimes the IRS puts a return under review because of something on the return that triggers the need for further scrutiny. And sometimes it is just random. The IRS is becoming more vigilant in watching for tax fraud, so more returns are being looked at closely. You say you have met with the IRS, and you know that they are processing your return, and they have already advised you that you have nothing else that you need to send to them or provide to them. Now all you can do is wait for the IRS. TurboTax cannot speed them up. You can call the IRS yourself or try a Tax Advocate if you are having a hardship because of the delay.
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.
