OK guys so I am here with you placed under the 45 day random review. I talked to an IRS agent for quite a while today. I was told that the 45 days from February 14 or 15 is incorrect. Your 45 days starts from the date on your letter. A letter is sent out whether something is wrong or it is just under review. Even if there is no errors. I told them I have not received a letter yet and I filed on February 1. She looked in my account and she said I should receive a letter by March 12 so those of you who have not received the letter yet don't worry it is coming. I told her I am almost 100% positive I made no errors on my return. She said it was not flag for any errors just randomly picked out of "a hat" to do the 45 day review. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong guys. Unfortunately you do have to wait the 45 days from the date on your letter.. she stated if they find something wrong with in your return they will send you another letter telling you what you need to do to fix it. If you do not receive a second letter your return should be sent to you with in the 45 days...but like I said I called them today and it is March 6th mind you I filed on February 1 and I still told them I didn't have a letter but she said it is coming. I know this is stressful! But once you receive that letter be sure the process has started. You can call the IRS as many times as you want just be mindful they do take down your phone number every single time you call and they put notes in the computer. This was my second time calling and I told her the first time a lady told me it was 45 days from the 14th. And she said oh no that is incorrect it is 45 days from the date on the letter.
I ask that specific question because I read that there was so much confusion.
So long story short you will receive a letter if you have not received it yet just be patient. Continue to check on where's my refund once you receive the letter. It did feel good however for her to tell me that she looked through my return and it was not flag for any errors... she said she is receiving this call a lot it is only because of the new law that was recently passed it has nothing to do with it being processed through TurboTax I asked that question as well. It is with any e-file or even H&R Block. If you just so happen to be one of the lucky ones pulled out of the hat we are in the situation we are in..
