"Is the 'Return Under Review' Message on IRS2Go App Normal or Should I Be Concerned?"

Just checked IRS2Go at 9:55 and got this concerning message about my refund status: "We received your tax return and are reviewing it. If we need additional information, we'll mail a notice with further instructions. If you've already received a notice, please follow the instructions. If we determine no additional information is needed, we'll continue to process your refund." I'm using a 5GUC connection when I checked the app, and this is literally what it shows word for word on my screen: "We received your tax return and are reviewing it. If we need additional information, we'll mail a notice with further instructions. If you've already received a notice, please follow the instructions. If we determine no additional information is needed, we'll continue to process your refund." Not sure if this is normal or if I should be concerned. The message specifically mentions they might need more info and will send a notice in the mail if they do. There's no indication of when I might receive this potential notice or how long the review process could take. I was expecting my refund to be processed normally, and this message makes me nervous that something might be wrong with my filing. Has anyone else gotten this exact status message in IRS2Go? Should I just wait for a potential notice or is there something I should do now? I'm wondering if I should be proactive and call the IRS or if this is just a standard message everyone gets during processing.

The IRS2Go app is showing a standard processing status message at 9:55, which indicates your return is in the review phase. This message appears in the "Refund Status" section of the official IRS mobile app and is one of several standardized status updates taxpayers might see. The key parts of this message indicate three potential scenarios: 1. Normal processing continues if no issues are found 2. You may receive a notice if they need more information 3. If you've already received a notice, follow those specific instructions This status is actually quite common during tax processing and doesn't automatically mean there's a problem. It's part of the IRS's standard review procedure that many returns go through. The message appears in black text on the standard IRS2Go interface, which is their official mobile app for checking refund status. The time stamp (9:55) shows this is a current status check. While waiting, continue monitoring your mail for any potential notices, but there's no need for immediate concern as many returns display this message during normal processing without requiring additional information.
