All of this is so bizarre to me. I am both relieved and frustrated to see that other people around the country is experiencing the same exact issue as me and my other co-workers. I have called the IRS numerous of times trying to get an understanding on exactly why my refund is being held and all I hear is, "the wages reported by your job didn't match the wages reported on your return, so your refund is under review." and the most recent excuse, "you filed before the new tax laws were implemented and now your return is under review." I have sent the IRS copies of my W-2 along with my last check stub and nothing has changed. I was also told about the interest BUT they said that interest is only given to the tax payer IF there was a mistake on the IRS side. I don't care about the interest at all I just want what's owed to me.
