What is IRS code 1181?

Per the IRS code 1181 means that there was an issue with EIC. The IRS will sent a letter in the mail, that will tell you whether or not they are going to be asking me for more information or whether they just need some more time.

That is written for the Accounts Mangement person at IRS. It just means that your refund is delayed because your return was pulled for review (may be random or due to a credit you claimed or just an error with how the data was received or entered). Your refund was not issued within 7 cycles of when the return was filed so it advices the AM rep to conduct an analysis of your account.

Meaning: Call IRS at 800-829-1040 to find out what the status is and if they can do anything to expedite the process. They may require more information and calling can sometimes clear it up so you don't need to wait for a letter.
