What is Code Section 1201

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

IRS Statistics for 2010

Electronically filed tax returns are on track with last year and overall refunds are running nearly 10 percent higher so far in 2010, according to statistics issued today by the Internal Revenue Service.
The statistics issued today, covering the period through March 12, show that while the overall number of tax returns filed this year is down slightly, the percentage of returns using e-file remains strong. More than 82 percent of the 69 million returns received this year have come in via e-file. Home usage of e-file is up almost 7 percent compared to this time last year.
Additionally, the average federal refund totaled $3,036, an increase of $266 compared with the same period a year ago.
The refund increase follows a number of federal tax incentives enacted last year as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, such as the home buyer credit and the American Opportunity Credit.
?There are several new credits and deductions this year, so we encourage taxpayers to see if they qualify when they fill out their tax return,? said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. ?To get their refunds quicker, the IRS reminds taxpayers that the fastest, easiest way is to e-file and use direct deposit.?
Taxpayers can check their eligibility for these credits and deductions on the IRS Web site at IRS.gov/recovery. This special section also contains instructions on how to claim the available tax incentives and provides answers to frequently asked questions. Detailed information is available on the:
