No, that will not hold up your refund.

Thank you! I was wondering because people who filed after me have already gotten their returns and I have not. So it will not be held up,

There are no guarantees on what will trigger an IRS computer.  The two general rules are:

1. You don't get in trouble for taking a smaller deduction than you are allowed.

2. The initial filing is just checked for  correctness of the forms (and you refund processed).   Any income or deduction matching comes later.

@Hal_Al  Ok I’m sorry so maybe I’m not understanding that last comment. Refund being processed means I’ll get the refund. Then they check the numbers? Thank you for the help
