On the IRS website. It says my refund is still processing and being reviewed. At the top of the page it says TAKE ACTION! It states topic 151 and appeal rights. The information provided says the IRS is reviewing my return and if they need any further information I will receive a letter. A lot of other people said theirs said the same thing and they ended up having to prove their identity or their was a small error that had to be changed. The expected refund amount matches what my tax return stated. Even if there is an error there is no way I only would get $400 tax refund. I'm mind blown. Also every year my return comes from IRS it never came from Santa Barbara bank and I always use turbo tax. I am sooooo confused!
You can call the IRS and speak to an agent to find out why you received the amount far less than what is shown on the IRS federal tax refund status website.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
Or you can contact your local IRS office. See this IRS website for local IRS offices - http://www.irs.gov/uac/Contact-Your-Local-IRS-Office-1 or call 1-844-545-5640 to set up an appointment
