Many tax refunds are delayed each year due to simple but avoidable mistakes. That’s why it’s important to have a tax professional do your taxes and make sure all your information is correct and up to date. Understanding these errors can help you receive your refund faster.
Incorrect Personal Information
Misspelled names, incorrect Social Security numbers, or outdated addresses are among the most common errors that cause IRS delays.
Missing Income
Failing to report all income, including side jobs or freelance work, can trigger IRS reviews and refund holds.
Math Errors
Simple calculation mistakes can cause processing delays. Even small math errors may result in manual IRS reviews.
Choosing the Wrong Filing Status
