Does Code 1541 Mean I’m Not Getting My Refund?
This code can indicate that you owe more federal taxes than you reported on your tax return, and as a result, you may no longer be eligible for a refund. The IRS will add Code 1514 to your WMR account to inform you that they’ve adjusted your tax liability and put the processing of your return on hold until the debt is collected. If you claimed a child tax credit or EITC on your return, this C-Freeze code only indicates that the IRS cannot issue your refund before February 15.
