IRS Examination Department - 108 day wait for movement + 180 days for letter?!
Called IRS today about my refund and got hit with some rough news. They said my return is sitting in examination department. Rep said it could take 108 days before ANY movement happens and I should expect a letter within 180 days. Anyone else stuck in examination? Starting to feel like this money is never coming.

The examination department typically handles returns that need additional review. While the timeframes they gave you are frustrating, they're actually standard for examination cases. Make sure you keep all your supporting documents ready. If they request additional information, respond quickly to avoid further delays.

Thanks for explaining. Do you know if I should wait for the letter or try calling again in a few weeks?

Wait for the letter. Calling again won't speed things up and the reps won't have any new info until something changes in the system.

Instead of playing the waiting game, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and what to expect. It costs $1 but saved me weeks of stress. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Yeah it's legit! It found issues in my transcript I didn't even know about and gave me specific dates to expect updates.

Pro tip: Set up an online account and check your transcript. Sometimes you can see movement there before getting any letters
