Received letter advising my federal refund is under review

phill11 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:21:55 GMT

I received a letter that my federal refund is under review for accuracy verification. When I filed I was sure I filed everything accurately and correctly. Is it smarter for me to amend and retry in case I missed something or should I wait for the review to complete? Which would be faster?!

I should also add that my refund was accepted Feb 11th and I have already received my state refund as well.

Do not file an amended return if your federal refund is under review. You don't know what, if anything, is wrong, so there is no way to know what to amend.

The IRS says:

We select some returns to examine so we can determine whether income, expenses, and credits are reported correctly. This doesn’t mean you made an error or were dishonest.

We’re verifying your income, income tax withholding, tax credits and/or business income.

See Understanding Your CP05 Notice

If the IRS does make any changes, then you may have to file an amended state return.

IRS already "fixed" your tax return for you.
