The Real Reasons Your Tax Refund Might Be Delayed Next Year

Inaccurate Filing

In the off chances that the IRS decides to not give you your refund, they may have a reason to believe that you have submitted inaccurate information when filing your tax return. Whether it be an error you made when filing, inaccurate claims for deductions and credits, or if you’re in the audit process, the IRS will withhold your tax return until their criteria is fulfilled.

Back Taxes

Another culprit for why you might not receive your refund this year is because of back taxes. You still owe them! Another deciding factor that will restrict you from your refunds are if you’re on a payment plan with the IRS due to your back taxes. You will not get your tax refund until all of your back taxes are paid off and up to date.

Unfiled Years

Lastly, if you have multiple years of unfiled taxes, the IRS will also be withholding your refund this year. In this instance, instead of missing payments towards the IRS, you will need to also have filed every single year and be current with your filings. All refunds will be frozen until then.
