Why does refund get delayed?

I was supposed to get an IRS refund on Jan 28, now it says delayed until Feb 8? Anyone else have this happen?

  • It is e-file with direct deposit.

  • Answer:

    Last year it happened to me, and I swear 80% of the Answerers in the US Taxes category. I'd wager it was the #1 question of the start of tax season last year. Most likely, your return went to the error correction department over a computer glitch or other small error, and hopefully, you'll only be delayed just by this one week. We weren't so lucky. Ours got held up through 2 batches before finally being released in the 3rd cut right before Mid-February. Good luck, I hope it runs smoothly for everyone affected!

A direct deposit to your personal checking account or did you pay the high fees to a company and the funds are being deposited to the account that they chose to use so they could collect the charges and fees and then they will deposit the remaining amount of your refund to your account card or bank account as that process adds days to your refund processing time and it it NOT caused by the IRS. Hope that you find the above enclosed information useful and good luck to you.

I, too, should have received my refund on January 28 but then got a message alerting me there had been a processing delay. I called the IRS and was told that they found a small error on my return and it was sent to the "errors and resolutions department" where it was corrected and sent back to processing. Actually, my return was correct but the Social Security Administration has my new son's birth date wrong.

I'm in the same boat! I used turbo tax, same program I've used for years. Imported all my info from last year. No significant changes and mine was delayed too. I'm hoping and praying that ours will be there by the 8th.
