Integrity and Verification Review — Refund Hold
The IRS is holding your tax refund while they verify your identity and the accuracy of your return. This is not a penalty and you do not owe money. The IRS selected your return for routine verification. Your refund is not cancelled — it is delayed.
Nothing negative — your refund will eventually be released or the IRS will contact you if they need more information.
Do not call the IRS for at least 60 days from the date of this letter — they do not have additional information to share until the review is complete
Make sure your identity documents are accessible in case the IRS asks you to verify your identity online or by mail
