If a correction is made to any RRC, EITC or ACTC claimed on the return, the IRS will send taxpayers an explanation. The IRS is having to correct significantly more errors on tax returns than in previous years. This work does not require us to correspond with taxpayers but does require special handling by an IRS employee so, in these instances, it is taking the IRS more than 21 days to issue any related refund and in some cases this work could take 90 to 120 days.
