That is long enough the IRS has clearly cross checked and is reviewing your return. If they have an issue, they will mail you a letter. Otherwise, they may resolve the issue internally and your refund is just delayed. When you call the IRS, 800-829-1040, you need to know a few things.
- The IRS answers about 5% of the calls, bots handle the rest.
- Mondays and Friday are the busiest.
- You want a human, not a bot. Don't type in your social security number.
- Listen carefully to the changes, don't press refund. Try not to press buttons.
