@JJeditor Just got off the phone with IRS. After going through two different IRS Agents, I was told that my return was just one of the many returns 'Selected for Review'! When I got off the phone (two hours later), I checked my Refund Status again. Under my SSN, I still get the 'We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed.....' message; but under my husband's SSN, the message is:
Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.
I was told that on 02/01, a one week delay was put on the processing of my return. On 02/19 (the 19th day after the IRS accepted my return), my return was Processed and a 'Refund delay' was placed on my return. The Agent eventually told me that my return is "one of the many returns that has been Selected for Review". Now I'm supposed to allow 45 days from 02/19 for the Review process, and I will possibly receive a letter IN THE MAIL from the IRS that may request additional information.🤬
