Error Department Hold - Day 39 of 45 Day Review - Filed 2/3 - Anyone Else?

Filed my taxes on February 3rd and got stuck in the error department. Called the IRS on Monday and they said im on day 39 of a 45 day review period. Double checked everything and im certain my return is correct. Starting to get really frustrated with this wait. Anyone else dealing with the error department right now?

Tax pro here. The Error Resolution Department is swamped right now. The 45-day review is pretty standard when they need to verify information. Even if you filed correctly, certain combinations of credits or deductions can trigger an automatic review. Best thing to do is wait it out - calling won't speed up the process.

Hey! Have you tried using taxr.ai? It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's causing the hold and when you'll likely get your refund. Saved me hours of stress trying to figure out what was going on with my return. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it imo. https://taxr.ai

Yeah its legit! You just upload your transcript and it breaks everything down in plain english. Shows all the holds, codes, and gives you a timeline. Even tells you what to do to fix issues
