Try ext 312

I've tried 312. It does the same thing. Won't even let me hold for long.

I called the IRS on that code1541....

The representative I spoke with told me two things with my refund;

1st: EIC will not be issued until the 27th

2nd: Mine has a 45 day review. A letter of explanation will follow and then you should receive your refund in this time.

ginamann69 · ‎February 19, 2019

I was told the exact same thing

Ss4911 · ‎February 19, 2019

Atleast you know what to expect. I was told that it’s under review until March 4. And if there is anything needed additional I would get a letter and It will be under review for 45 days. They won’t tell me if I will receive an letter or if I’m not

ginamann69 · ‎February 19, 2019

The way it sounded to me, if they are "reviewing", than you will receive a letter. It appears its a random review. Or could be if your taxes is significantly different than last year. I woulldnt worry, its just frustrating .

ginamann69 · ‎February 19, 2019

I believe until March 4th, means you will get it around then. Chin up!!

Ss4911 · ‎February 19, 2019

That’s what I’m thinking. It is frustrating. But I’m no longer going to worry right now.

its not saying using extension 712...it worked for me. I was on hold a bit. But it worked.

Lsmith0722 · ‎February 19, 2019

I was told the same thing today, but I’m not understanding the delay

Lsmith0722 · ‎February 19, 2019

They told me the same, they are not giving us much to go on

This is exactly what I was told so I’m assuming this is a common code this year and it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your return, they are just behind in processing.

Visitor · ‎February 20, 2019

They’re just behind due to the government shut down. They recently shutdown again (after Valentines Day) and only some of the federal government employees remained working to process returns

Ext 462

However if you don’t use the extension make sure you select options stating your trying to get a tax form, do not select “check the status of my refund” I had to call multiple times before getting in but I did get through

Avoid options that lead to checking the status of your refund. Select that you are trying to get a form or check an amended return and it’ll go through
