@etorres_1 TurboTax receives no information after you file your tax return.  No one at TT knows why you are under review or how much longer the IRS will take.  Your only information will come from the IRS.  TurboTax cannot speed the IRS up for you or find out anything for you.   Watch the IRS refund site or call the IRS.

 TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:   

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

To  call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

All I can say is to everyone is GOOD LUCK!!!!! My return was submitted by accountant on April 11th - nothing has changed for us this year. Jobs are the same, dependents are the same, deductions are all the same, filing status the same. Literally EVERYTHING is the same as previous years (other than one child is no longer included as he is now an adult). I’ve made MULTIPLE calls to IRS and did manage to get a live agent on one occasion who said everything “looked OK, but it’s just taking a little bit longer to review.” Here I sit on December 25th - almost into the new tax season - and STILL NO TAX RETURN FOR THIS YEAR!!!!!   Absolutely insane!!!!

That is absolutely insane!   Almost a full year!   I’d be on the phone with those Cornpop fanatics every single day.

My refund has been in review for a year now. I've called all the phone #'s and can't get any info. I'm sure they aren't paying me any interest on he $2,800 they owe me. No idea what to do here. Can anyone help? I haven't gotten any notices, other than 9 months ago to say it is still in review.
