Hey all--thought I'd contribute here because my situation has been the same as most of you. We received a letter in Feb that our return was under review (for 60 days)---however, by the time June came, we still hadn't gotten our refund. In addition to that, our stimulus check hasn't been deposited. Here is what I did that solved it:
1. I called the local Tax Advocate Service and left a voicemail.
2. I then emailed my local congressman and asked for his help--he got one of his staffers on it right away.
Two weeks later, the Tax Advocate Service called me, explained why my return was under review, and we were able to solve the issue together. Then, a couple weeks later, our refund was deposited into our bank account. And, I'm assuming the stimulus check will come this weekend or next--I don't believe they release the stimulus check if your return is under review.
SO--if you are in that situation, do two things right now:
1. Call your local Tax Advocate Service.
2. Email your congressperson.
This will get things moving for you
