Ok. So I just got off the phone with the IRS and after talking to a really nice younger female. I asked about the status of my refund with out giving her the 1541 refereence number. Just to see what I was told. She looked up my acct and said that it was just going through the regular review process that they are really behind and apologized. She said the refund tool does update everyday but from what shes noticed is that the big updates have been on Saturday. This however I was not told to wait 45 days and a letter was being sent. She never placed me on hold but said theres nothing indicating anything was wrong with my refund. I then asked her about the 1541 and she said that its more of a generic code for being delayed, So just to be patient and keep checking the refund tool. Thanked her for being honest about why alot of people have the code. So I guess its just a waiting game. Will prolly call back next week if i dont receive my refund.
