IRS Notices & Letters
“What is the reason my IRS refund was held up in a letter?”
An IRS letter about a delayed refund often points to a processing issue rather than a final denial, and the reason can depend on what the return showed, whether any information needs verification, and whether the refund was selected for review. In many cases, the notice may relate to identity checks, mismatched income records, filing status questions, or a math or entry discrepancy on the return. The exact explanation usually comes from the notice number, the wording in the letter, and whether the IRS is requesting documents or simply explaining that the return is still under review. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
