IRS Notices & Letters
“Why would the IRS stop my refund after sending me a notice?”
An IRS notice can sometimes mean a refund is being held while the return is reviewed, matched against IRS records, or checked for an issue such as identity verification, a math mismatch, or information reported by a third party. In many cases, the type of notice, the account history, and whether the return includes items like credits, dependents, or withholding can affect what happens next. The wording of the letter and any response requested often shape whether the refund is delayed, adjusted, or released after the IRS finishes its review. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
