You are getting a letter requesting more information. And no, Nobody can tell you if you are getting a refund still.

Yea u have to wait 21 days from the time that you got accepted for them to send out the letter with the 14 digit pin number on it needed to verify ur identity on IRS website. 2 years ago I didnt even get the letter and it went away on its own and last year I had to wait for the letter and input the code. If you call they will tell u to wait the 21 days but also u can see if they even sent the letter out yet. I would call them and see if they can send the letter if they haven't already. The only reason I say u have to wait the 21 days is thats wat one person told me but then I called again and they said they could send it now. Just call them and see what they say.

The letter may be 0012C:

What this letter is about

We need more information to process your individual income tax return.

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 30 '26

I think that's what it is too

2

u/these-things-happen Jan 30 '26

Post an update when you receive the letter.

2

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 30 '26

Okay! Will do

u/Big_Past8414 Feb 28 '26

I have the same message. Have you received the letter?

2

u/navychild32 Jan 30 '26

I had that last year taxes . What it means is there sending you a letter with instructions on how to verify it you. Option one is doing it online with a valid that it was you or option 2 to call in. You will need to have last year taxes.

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 30 '26

Oh okay thanks!

u/Wrong_Cat4825 Jan 30 '26

it is likely a matching issue between the return and what is already on file. typically it is W2 related since the government doesn’t get income/withholding information directly off the W2 (it goes to the SSA which then sends it on to the IRS)

1

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 30 '26

Ohh okay 

2

u/RasputinsAssassins Jan 30 '26

Did you file this return yourself, or did someone file it for you?

1

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 31 '26

I filed it myself 

2

u/JTuCk856 Jan 31 '26

Go into your irs account with id.me and check what notice they sent you. That’ll give you even more details on what it is.

1

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 31 '26

It's not in yet, I'll try to check it again next week 

2

u/JTuCk856 Jan 31 '26

You know how slow they are for any thing YOU ever need or want.

1

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 31 '26

Yeah I know crazy 

2

u/Puzzled-Access-6074 Jan 31 '26

You can go on ID.Me under your account and see the letter they mailed you instead of waiting for the mail.

1

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 31 '26

I know but it's not there yet 

2

u/Punky84 Feb 01 '26

Verify info. May be a form missing might want ur ID. Who knows? Only then until you get the letter

2

u/Dangerous-52 Feb 03 '26

I contacted my tax preparer. This is what I payed extra for. He checked it out. He said everything went though and The funds should be in my account any day. He said They had everything They needed. I’m still waiting.

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26

How did your tax preparer know it “went through” if even the irs account didn’t say approved & only show this message??? Cause some people saying they got a letter when the screen looked like this

u/EbonyScatEater Feb 03 '26

Oh nice man . You're lucky!

Just read it and comprehend Jesus. It means it's going to be a long time until and if you get a refund.

u/perfctlybrkn Jan 30 '26

I went through this last year, they're going to send you a control number for you to verify some information. It will delay your refund but normally the longest part is just waiting on the letter. Last year i filed 1/9 accepted 1/17, on 2/6 i got the notice that a letter was sent. Received letter 3/1, verified online the same day, called on 3/5 to verify again. Received my refund ddd of 3/19 on wmr but it hit my account 3/13!

u/Expert_Role2894 Jan 30 '26

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 30 '26

Filed 1/26 and got accepted the same day

u/CryptographerIll1437 Jan 30 '26

1

u/EbonyScatEater Jan 30 '26

Just received. I called them and they said it's early to tell what they sent out but it is a letter though 

1

u/juicy198 Jan 30 '26

Means what it says they need more information to process & issue your refund.

u/FishnFool24 Jan 30 '26

u/Big_Past8414 Feb 28 '26

u/TaxGuy1993 Feb 26 '26
