Refund Delayed over 8 months

I filed my taxes in February in hopes of getting my return to take care of overdue bills. No such luck. At the end of April I went online to find I needed to verify my identity. Ok. No problem, done. In June I get a letter stating that the irs needs an additional 60 days to process my refund, but note nothing is wrong. I called the entire month of august to see what was going on and finally got an actual person around 8/30/24. At which time I was told that they can hold it up to 120 days bc they froze my account after the I’d verification and it probably wouldn’t be until October 4 bc I was also picked for review. What does that mean, not audit, a review?

Refund Delayed over 8 months

The IRS reviews some federal tax returns to determine if income, expenses, and credits are reported accurately.

Refund Delayed over 8 months

I've been doing taxes for 15 years and this is not uncommon for IRS to do a review. But I would recommend a few things - if you are filing as self employed I would make sure you have your records in order - the other suggestion would be to get a notarized letter from a tax professional stating any changes on this tax return that are different from last year and send it to your IRS local office.
