IRS says 60 day review but wait 120 days? Anyone get refund sooner?
Just got off the phone with IRS. They said my refund is under 60 day review but told me to wait 120 days just in case. Getting a letter on the 10th. Nothing to do but wait they say. Anyone else been through this and got their money faster? This waiting is killing me 😭

Unfortunately, the IRS often quotes longer timeframes as a buffer. The 60-day review is standard but they say 120 to cover themselves. Keep checking your transcript weekly - sometimes these clear up faster than they say. Many of my clients have gotten their refunds within 45-50 days despite being quoted longer times.

•Usually its random selection, large refund amounts, or mismatched information between your return and IRS records.

Hey, instead of checking transcripts manually and trying to decode them, try taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a specific timeline prediction based on your actual transcript data. Way better than playing detective with codes and dates. https://taxr.ai

•Not a scam at all! It analyzes everything - codes, dates, amounts - and gives you a super detailed breakdown. Even tells you if theres anything you can do to speed things up.
