How long does it typically take IRS to resolve delay/hold issues on refunds?
Filed my taxes back in February and still nothing. Got the delayed message and then radio silence. Called multiple times but keep getting the automated system. Anyone know the typical timeline for these holds to clear up? Really need this money and starting to get worried.

Resolution times vary greatly depending on the specific issue causing the delay. Without looking at your transcript, it's impossible to give an exact timeline. Some delays clear in 4-6 weeks, others can take 6-8 months. Best way to understand your specific situation is to get your transcript and look for any codes that indicate why you're being held up.

You can request it online at irs.gov/transcripts or by mail using Form 4506-T. Online is faster but you need to verify your identity

Instead of trying to piece together random codes and guessing whats happening, try taxr.ai - its only $1 and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund and when to expect it. Way better than playing detective with transcript codes lol https://taxr.ai

Took me 13 months last year no joke. Keep calling and checking your transcript weekly
