Your tax return is in the error department? Although I have never heard of an 'error' department, the IRS may review your return if they find an error when processing. If you e-filed, you should receive your refund in 21 days. Some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:
- Includes errors
- Is incomplete
- Is affected by identity theft or fraud
- Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit. See Q&A below.
- Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which could take up to 14 weeks to process
- Needs further review in general
They will contact you by mail when we need more information to process your return. They will notify you by mail if they correct any errors on your tax return as well.
