A compliance issue could potentially delay the timing of your refund.
A compliance issue usually means there is an issue with meeting your tax obligations. You've met all your tax obligations if you have filed all of your tax returns, and paid all taxes on time. You don't have an overdue tax return or unpaid tax debt.
Compliance issues:
You have one or more of these issues:
- Are paying a balance due through an installment agreement
- Have a history of filing or paying taxes late
- Received a civil fraud penalty, even if it’s fully paid
- Have a balance due that’s under administrative or judicial review
Your compliance status summarizes your compliance status as: compliant, non-compliant or compliance issue.
