IRS Notices & Letters

“What should I do about an IRS letter that says my refund is on hold?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

An IRS letter saying a refund is on hold often points to a review of the return, a mismatch in reported information, or an identity verification step. The exact reason typically depends on the notice type, the tax year involved, and whether the IRS needs documents such as wage statements, identity records, or proof of withholding. In some cases, the letter also reflects a delay while the return is being checked against third-party information. The wording and notice number usually help narrow down what the IRS is asking for and whether any response is expected. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.

In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
