I got this code on the "where is my refund" on IRS.GOV when I checked to see what date I should expect my return. I had already had my refund "Accepted" according to Turbo Tax but when I checked this am it said there has been a delay and to call the IRS and give reference code 1541.

I called IRS and they are saying I am having my refund looked into for alleged unreported income from 2011. They didn't say much else except they will be in touch. I would assume if you get this code you are being looked into for one reason or another. Hope this helps.

What does IRS reference 1201 mean?

Code 1201 is an administrative code that means there is a delay in processing your return. While your return was selected, something triggered a desk audit, and is an IRS agent will review it. In most situations it causes one-two weeks of an additional processing time to get your refund. According to the IRS, 1201 is a "catch all" code when no other code applies. It was generated by the computer so if you call IRS - the agent might not know what exactly triggered the review. It may be random selection as well. This is not an error and not an audit - this is normal IRS process - the assigned IRS agent will review your return and in most situation it will be processed without any problem. I do not think that you need to worry at this moment - just wait couple weeks and see if the problem resolved.

What does IRS reference 1541 mean?

I also got this reference number and called yesterday. I was told the code just stands for delay, no specific reason. The IRS rep stated if there was a serious issue, you would receive a rejection or a specific code stating the action. She stated many are receiving this code because of the late approval of certain tax forms this year. Thats why you cant find the definition of the code anywhere. The IRS rep also told me that as long as you receive an accepted confirmation, you should be ok. The take action will usually follow with an exact code and explanation as to why you need to take the action, so if it states there is a delay in processing your return, thats pretty much all it means. Theres just a delay and you can call if you have questions. Theres nothing you can really do. She instructed me just to wait the 21days and to check daily because the message can change from one day to another.
