Why Your Refund May Be Taking Longer Than Expected

"At LMN Tax Inc, the most common refund delay we see involves identity verification — the IRS or state agency sends a letter asking taxpayers to confirm their identity, but it goes unread or gets buried in mail. If your refund has been pending for more than 6 weeks after e-filing, check both your email and physical mail for a verification notice. Responding quickly is the single most effective action you can take. For help responding to an IRS notice, contact our team or call (571) 326-7900."
