Here is what to do to get your tax refund!!!
Taxpayers have two options for receiving their individual federal income tax refund: a paper check or direct deposit (electronic funds transfer) into a checking or savings account. Taxpayers may request that refunds be directly deposited in up to three separate accounts. The refund must be $1.00 or more. Form 8888, Direct Deposit of Refund to More Than One Account, will give taxpayers a choice of selecting up to three accounts such as checking, savings and retirement accounts. Note: You cannot have your refund deposited into more than one account if you file Form 8379 (PDF), Injured Spouse Allocation.
If you file a complete accurate tax return, your refund will be issued within six weeks from the received date. If you filed electronically, refund checks will be issued within three weeks after the acknowledgment date. Refunds from amended returns will be issued within 8–12 weeks. Injured spouse claims can take longer, depending on the circumstances. Refer to Topic 203 for more information concerning Injured Spouse Claims.
To check on your refund, go to “Where’s My Refund” or call the Refund Hotline at 800–829–1954. Please allow 72 hours after you electronically file or 3 weeks after you mail your return before using the automated systems. When you call, you will need to provide your Social Security number, your filing status, and the exact whole dollar amount of the refund shown on your return. There are several reasons for delayed refunds. Refer to Topic 303 for a checklist of common errors when preparing your tax return, and for additional items that may delay the processing of your return.
If you receive a refund to which you are not entitled, or one for an amount that is more than you expected, do not cash the check until you receive a notice explaining the difference. Follow the instructions on the notice.
On the other hand, if you receive a refund for a smaller amount than you expected, you may cash the check, and, if it is determined that you should have received more, you will later receive a check for the difference. If you did not receive a notice and you have questions about the amount of your refund, wait two weeks after receiving the refund, then call 800–829–1040.
The IRS will assist you in obtaining a replacement check for a refund check that is verified as lost or stolen.

If you are looking for an IRS abatement of penalties and interest, call us today. Listed below is the criteria used by IRS from the IRS site.
Requesting Penalty Relief ( the IRS Process)
The initial request for relief may occur either during or after an examination (but before a penalty is actually assessed), with a return that is either filed or paid late, or after assessment of the penalty(s) and notification issued to the taxpayer.
When the request is received, carefully analyze the taxpayer’s reasons to determine if penalty relief is warranted. The burden of proving entitlement to relief is generally upon the taxpayer.
Each request must be evaluated on its own merit, including:
The events or parties involved, and
If the taxpayer exercised ordinary business care and prudence, but due to circumstances or events beyond the taxpayer’s control the taxpayer was unable to meet the tax requirement, or
If other penalty relief criteria apply (such as a Statutory or Regulatory Exception or an Administrative Waiver).
The taxpayer’s obligation to meet the requirement is ongoing. Ordinary business care and prudence requires that the taxpayer continue to attempt to meet the requirements, even though late.
Determine if the taxpayer’s explanation addresses the penalty imposed.
The dates and explanations should clearly correspond with events on which the penalties are based to show that the taxpayer is entitled to relief from the penalty.
Request additional information from the taxpayer to clarify any explanations if the dates and explanations do not correspond with the events on which the penalty is based.
Review available IRS information in determining whether or not the taxpayer exercised ordinary business care and prudence. Check the preceding tax years (go back at least three years or twelve quarters) for payment patterns and the taxpayer’s overall compliance history.
Assertion of the same penalty(s) in the taxpayer’s history may indicate that the taxpayer is not exercising ordinary business care.
If this is the taxpayer’s first incident of noncompliant behavior, weigh this factor with other reasons the taxpayer gives for relief, since a first time failure to comply does not by itself establish reasonable cause. See IRM 20.1.1.3.6.1 for First-Time Abate.
Consider the length of time between the event cited as a reason for the noncompliance and subsequent compliance. The length of time between events may serve to cancel or reduce the event’s effect. Penalty relief may not be appropriate if, after considering all facts and circumstances, the taxpayer failed to correct their noncompliant behavior within a reasonable period of time.
The following are examples where penalty relief may not be appropriate:
The taxpayers claim that they were unable to comply with the filing requirement due to a death in the family. The death occurred several months prior to the due date of the return. The return was not filed until a year after the due date of the return.
Taxpayers claim that they were unable to comply with the filing requirement because the records necessary for filing were in the control of a third party, i.e., a bankruptcy trustee or an accountant. The records were returned to the taxpayer well in advance of time the return was required to be filed. The return was not filed until several months after the records were returned.
In both of the examples, the timing of the event may prevent the taxpayer from receiving penalty relief unless other factors justify the delay in filing.

Refund Statute Expiration Date
Time for Filing a Claim for Credit or Refund — Generally, a claim for a credit or refund must be filed within 3 years from the filing of the return or 2 years from the payment of tax, whichever is later.
An original delinquent return claiming an overpayment is a claim for refund. A taxpayer is entitled to a credit/refund for any payment paid within three years from the received date of an original delinquent return, including extensions.
Taxes withheld from wages during the calendar year are deemed paid on the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the tax year. In addition, estimated income tax is deemed paid on the due date for filing the return (not including any extension of time for filing).
Expired credits are not to be used to offset liabilities for other tax periods.
Certified notice of Claim Disallowed, Letter 105C must be issued when delinquent returns are received with refunds barred by the statute of limitations. If a notice of claim dis-allowance is not sent by registered or certified mail to the taxpayer, the refund claim on the original return is not properly disallowed in accordance with IRC § 6532, and the statute of limitations for filing a refund suit has not expired.
