After you file

Getting this message means your return is under review, and that can be for many different reasons. You can't assume it is a serious problem, it just means it is going to take a little longer to receive your refund.

 

The most common cause of this message is filing early and claiming Earned Income Credit and/ or Child Tax Credit. By law, the IRS can't issue these refunds prior to mid-February.
