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.
According to the IRS, 1201 is a “catch all” code when no other code applies. It is 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 a very 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.Everything in life that is delayed is a 1201, a life lesson
