How do you calculate MAGI? To calculate your modified adjusted gross income, take your AGI and "add-back" certain deductions. Many of these deductions can be rare, so it's possible your AGI and MAGI can be identical. Different credit and deductions can have differing add-backs for your MAGI calculation.
My refund status says my return is under "manual review." What does this mean? Certain returns must be reviewed by a tax examiner before the requested refund is issued. Manual review does not necessarily mean that something is wrong with your return or that additional information is needed from you.
If a return hits an edit, processing stops and the system assigns the return to a queue to be manually processed. At this time the ``manual review'' message will appear on the taxpayer's account. The ``manual review'' message means the return is in a queue and does not mean the return is actively being reviewed.
We're holding your refund until we receive the information requested from you to determine your reported income is correct. If the information supports your return, we'll release your refund.
If you file a complete and accurate paper tax return, your refund should be issued in about six to eight weeks from the date IRS receives your return. If you file your return electronically, your refund should be issued in less than three weeks, even faster when you choose direct deposit.
