So my refund falls into this criteria and I have no way to contact the IRS. What should I do?
My e-file was done by TurboTax late January. I received a letter from the IRS about needing to file the 8960 form and an updated 1040. I did all of that and mailed everything as of February 27th. Check my refund says Your return is still being processed.
Also the amount of the refund changed after the 8960 form was added. The amount that I have to use to get this info is the original amount, not the updated.
When to Call: Taxpayers should call the IRS to check on a refund only when:
- it has been 21 days or more since they e-filed,
- more than six weeks since the return was mailed,
- the “Where’s My Refund?” tool directs them to contact IRS
