Question

Letter 4464 C and PATHer

We file with earned income credit and child tax credit and we got a letter 4464 C stating that it could take up to 60 days for them to start looking over our return. I did everything I was supposed to do I filed all of our documents nothing has changed as far as address banking info or dependents but our income was significantly less than last year and our jobs have changed. My husband is the only one that works because I have medical issues and we are barely making it at the moment we were really counting on that money. Is there anyway that it could be processed before the 60 days? Does the IRS just need more time because of staffing issues? I'm so confused and feel so defeated right now.

    What date was your return accepted this yr? And when did you receive this 4464 C form?

    February 18, 2022

    It was accepted 1/28/2022 and I got the letter today but it’s dated 02/14/2022.

    That is not an audit, someone may tell you it is but it isn’t. It is a process where they send it to a team called Integrity Verification Operations to match up everything with your financial institution, education accounts etc. It’s basically a thorough review of your complete return. They’ll still give you a date but if they find anything then they would reach out again. 9 times out of 10 I wouldn’t worry I had that before and I still received my return. The IRS loves to be extra. You’re good! And congrats my 2021 transcript isn’t even up yet, still says “N/A”

    Accepted on the 25th letter dated Feb14, spoke to them 19, they staged it will be 60 days, or after, told me there was nothing I could do or submit they wouldn't tell me what's wrong

    Anyone have an update today on their refund?

    March 4, 2022

    Still in the same boat. Received my letter on 2/14 and still nothing. IRS website says "Taking longer than normal for processing".  I was really hoping this didn't get drug out and still get a deposit but I'm losing hope.

    Just reading this conversation. I received my letter on 2/11/22 and still waiting with the “processing is taking longer then expected” phrase. Just curious on the status of everyone who responded with receiving their letter this year? Has anyone received their refund? 

    March 12, 2022

    Nope I still have a 570 code on my transcript as well. Hopefully something changes soon I can’t take much more of the struggle.

    Has anyone that gotten this letter been approved and got their refund yet?

    March 24, 2022

    I got the same letter, on a simple tax refund. Has anyone gotten their refund yet after getting the letter?

    Tax expert advice is always “be patient” but is the IRS “patient” when you owe them? No, they’ll literally confiscate the sh*t you own to get their money. 
    OR you get someone who replies to 4464C questions by copying & pasting what’s on the IRS website. Gee thanks that’s a big help! Like we’ve not all read that a hundred times! 
    I’m p*ssed. It’s a Joke. It takes minutes for the government to find out any information they want to know about anyone! So 60 days on ANY refund is outrageous unless you’re a multimillionaire! I’ve read at least a hundred post online, from a dozen different forums, left by people  (AMERICAN CITIZENS-TAXPAYERS!) who waited up to 8 months to a year on their refund after the 4464C letter. After weeks researching I’ve only found 2 people who got their refund reasonably quick after this letter,  (one was on this forum.) Good luck calling the IRS or a Tax Advocate because they won’t help you AT ALL until the 60 days is up, in other words that big SCREW YOU the IRS attached to the letter. Complete Bullsh*t.
