IRS Notices & Letters
“I received an IRS letter saying my refund is delayed, why?”
An IRS letter about a delayed refund can reflect several different issues, and the reason often depends on what the notice says, whether the return was selected for review, and whether there were mismatches with income or withholding records. In some cases, the delay is tied to identity verification, missing information, or a processing backlog rather than a problem with the return itself. The wording, notice number, and any requested response usually help narrow down whether the delay is temporary or connected to a specific item on the filing. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
