IRS Notices & Letters
“Why is my tax refund delayed because of an IRS letter?”
An IRS letter can delay a refund when the return needs extra review, verification, or a response before processing can continue. The reason often depends on the type of notice, whether the IRS is checking identity, income reporting, or a credit claimed on the return, and whether any documents were requested. In some cases, a refund is held while the agency compares information from employers, banks, or other third parties. The exact impact usually varies with the notice number and the specific issue raised in the letter. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
