Alright for anyone that's going through this [profanity removed] storm... I filed February 2, accepted on February 3, got a letter saying I was under review on March 15, I waited my 60 days called the irs reps on May 15 and they told me that they still hadnt worked on my filing status and that they would send a referral to get it pushed forward but that it may take another 60 days for them to even confirm it, just like alot of folks on here I was relying on that money for my bills and  my family, I completely just gave up on the idea of receiving my refund, I stopped checking the irs websites because it didn't update at all this entire time I was waiting, long story short I checked the irs website yesterday night and guess what... I'm finally receiving my refund, I got a status update saying it would be in my account on june 20!!!. It only took 4 1/2 months of [profanity removed].. And no I did not get a tax advocate or anything like that, I know how stressful this can be. Good luck people...

that's good ines541 did the irs pay you interest added it to your refund if not they should after the 60days are up and each day after that its 4% well i am glad you got your refund date, we all  still waiting for our refund date to come in hopefully very soon i have faith  

[ines541]

No i did not recieve interest, im just relieved I'm finally recieving my refund. So far i have my state return, still waiting on my federal which should be in my account by wendsday. Yeah, i hope everyone on this feed recieves there money soon. This years tax season was the most stressful. Don't lose hope, it may not come when we expect it, but that does not mean its not coming.

[longhorns082179]

i just checked my transcript and it shows code 424 examination request has anybody got this code and so how long did it take to get a refund date i hope everything clears up quickly please let me know

[longhorns082179]

ines541 did you get a code 424 on your transcript and then you got your refund date after that code

[sedonacanyons]

I filed my taxes on Jan 31, finally 5 months later I got a refund date for next week, Good luck people.

[longhorns082179]

that's good sedonacanyons im glad you got your refund theirs a lot people waiting on this refund,last week i checked my transcript it showed TC424 code and the next day it went too 420 code i heard a lot of people that code means refund its all the way its getting close to a date, some people say its a audit some say its not but if i had a audit i would've gotten a letter by now the code dated almost 2 weeks ago so if i was audit i would've gotten a letter that same week of the code date issued so what do you think about this please give me any answers it would be helpful thank you

420 =  Indicates that return has been referred to the Examination or Appeals Division

[sedonacanyons]

@longhorns082179 I believe that means  the return has been referred to the examination dept  for extra examination.

@longhorns082179 My account is currently on that 420 examination step. I just called tax advocate since I know where my mistake was when I filled

[longhorns082179]

thank you guys for your info well anyways i know i made a mistake as well ppr87 but the irs told me not too amend the tax return till they finished whatever they have found a mistake and then they will correct the issue and if not they will send me a letter too amend the tax return i know code 420 is not a audit i know for sure

[Ppre87]

@longhorns082179 that’s what the irs would tell me every time I called. So I called tax advocate and they were able to transfer me to the examination department. Once I talked to someone in that department they told me exactly what I already knew that was wrong and sent me My IRS letter asking for employment verification since the mistake was in my withholding amount. So I sent everything they asked for and when I called to see if they received it they said I would have to wait till they get to it. They go by the date they received my mail which was June 4. And they were opening mail from December 2017 so can you imagine how long it will take to get to June’s mail. So I decided to get tax advocate which has been a big help and now I’m just waiting. Tax advocate said I should see a status change this week either a refund date or if they need further paperwork. I’m just glad someone look closer than just the the “status” on my return.

OMG reading these comments are very messed up. I am also in the same boat waiting 60 days after I already paid my taxes, my 60 days is coming up on 7/8 and im scared do anyone have the number on the bottom of the letter they can give me because the regular number is not helping at all
