I understand your frustration…but talking to someone usually doesn’t get any answers either…

I talked with someone last week who told me that mine was pulled because I claimed the education credit with no wages and that was one of the tactics used for fraud. I told him plenty of people attend school and don’t work…he agreed but states that is why it’s being held and I just have to wait till the agent who has been assigned my case gets to it and verifies it.

Hi Kris,
I’m sorry you have not received your tax refund, however everyone’s tax situation is different and there are different reasons that the IRS may choose to review some tax returns more closely than others. Here is an FAQ from the IRS that explains those reasons in more detail

I hope you get your tax refund soon!
Thank you,

I submitted my return mid-January. I was audited and had to confirm my identity and spoke with the I.R.S. mid-March, the lady said she re-entered it for processing. It will have been approximately three weeks as of tomorrow, yet there is still no update! What are the delays? I know a fellow student who took her taxes to Jackson Hewitt and received hers months ago which is why I will not be a returning Turbo-Tax customer and absolutely will not be paying for what has been a nightmare. You’re Welcome!

Got a notification my refund was received my the IRS on Feb. 19th. I still don’t have a date and where’s my refund has been saying it is still being processed and a date will be provided when available. It has been saying that for a few weeks now. I filed with the student credit. I know it is taking longer for students, but how long should it take? It is getting pretty ridiculous.

Hi…I filed in January and it kicked it out on the 31st. I refiled and it was accepted on 02/15 and pulled on 02/26. All I had was education credit, no wages, etc. I know someone else did the same and rec’d theirs back in 2 weeks. They don’t know why it’s being held and I haven’t rec’d any rejection codes..just still processing.

Hi Lisa, I am a full time college student who filed a 1098T form, on Feb. 17th with Turbo Tax online… it was accepted & I was notified it would arrive NO LATER than March 10th, well the 10th came & went & I have not received any updates of any kind since. I even went into a pro tax place to make sure I did everything correctly…I did & still nothing….Do you know why, or what happened or how long this maybe for? I really appreciate your time~Warm Regards,

I agree that is completely ridiclous and if it were the other way around we would be penalized.

Is there a number that you called, every time I call I only get the automated message and no matter what I do, I can’t get through to talk to a real person. Is so frustrating! I filed Feb 11, accepted Feb 14 and still no DD. refund states just shows it is still processing and refund date will be provided when available.
