IRS Notices & Letters
“Why is my IRS refund being held after I got a letter?”
An IRS refund can be held for several reasons after a letter is issued, and the reason often depends on what the notice says, what return was filed, and whether the IRS needs more information to verify income, credits, identity, or prior balances. In some cases, the letter points to a mismatch between the return and IRS records, while in others it reflects a review tied to an amended return, offset, or identity check. The exact meaning usually depends on the notice number, the tax year involved, and whether any response was requested. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
