Timeline after Congressman helps with IRS refund delay? Need experiences

Filed my taxes back in February and still no refund. Getting desperate so I reached out to my congressman's office last week. Anyone go this route before? How long did it take to see movement on your transcript after congressional inquiry?

Chloe Mitchell

Tax advocate here - Congressional inquiries typically speed things up significantly. Usually see movement within 2-4 weeks after congressman's office submits the inquiry. Make sure you signed the privacy release form they sent you.

Every case is different. Depends on the specific hold codes and which department needs to review it.

Hey instead of playing the waiting game, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and estimated timeframes. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it. Check it out: https://taxr.ai
