I called and was told that my federal return was under review. Has anyone dealt with this and what should I expect?

I received a letter from the IRS stating that my returns are under review and the 60day and that was up may 6th and still nothing. I called them and the rep said that he would send a note but that could take another 60days. Anyone know of anything else I can do. I'm so over this

We called on the 60th day and they had to send a letter of release, but they said it can take another 60 days to come. Grrrr I'm so done and will NEVER use turbotax ever gain.

@jws0513 I am thinking it has to do with Turbo Tax also...

Sorry, but neither TT nor its competitors has any control over how fast the IRS processes tax returns. For 2018, you can change your withholding so that you do not have to wait for a refund at tax time.

The IRS does some processing after accepting an e-filed return but before they mail you the refund. There are a variety of things they check for - verification of identity being prominent now.

The IRS will either send you a letter asking you to clarify something on your return, a letter asking you to accept a change that they have made to your return, or (if they don't find anything), just send you your refund.

There is nothing you can do to speed this up - just be sure to watch your mail box (this is all done by US Mail) for a letter - or hope your notification is your refund.
