IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a notice from the IRS about my refund, why is it held?”
An IRS notice about a held refund often points to a mismatch, an identity check, or a review of items on the return that need verification. The reason can depend on the information reported, whether the return was filed electronically or on paper, and whether the IRS needs to confirm income, credits, or banking details. In some cases, the notice also reflects a separate balance, prior-year issue, or offset from another federal obligation. The exact wording on the letter usually matters, since different notice types can signal different follow-up steps. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
