I filed my taxes on January 27th, about a week ago I received a letter from the IRS that stated they are holding my refund to process it more. I got my State refund back within a week of filing, but my Federal is being held. They said to not contact them and that it could be up to 60 days before I saw a return. I was wondering if maybe they flagged me for my son being an earned income credit. Maybe they were questioning it. I was questioning whether or not I filed correctly. He was born on July 8th, which means he lived with us for more than half the year (192 days). But I was reading on the form and it says "more than half a year, less than 7 months." But I was also reading that it doesn't matter when he was born, to put down "12 months" and he will still qualify. I can't find a clear answer. Does anyone know if my son met the requirements?
