I'm in the same boat. My return was filed on 1/28. They sent me a notice on March 7 saying it could take up to 60 days because they're reviewing my return. I wait until March 16 and call the IRS and they tell me they sent a referral to the committee. I continue to hear nothing so I call the IRS again after 2 weeks. I get a different person and the guy sounds angry with me because he knows that I called 2 weeks before. He says theres nothing he can do for me and it's a waste of time because the person I talked to 2 weeks beforehand already sent a referral to the committee and that's all they have the power to do. He tells me if I still don't hear anything after July 17 then I can call back and they can take further action. On June 24 I receive a letter saying that they need an ADDITIONAL 60 DAYS to send me a complete response on what action they are taking on my account. So here it is, July 9th 2019.
