The Texas Taxpayer Assistance Project, part of the Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid Inc., says there are reasons for these delays.

Identity theft is another problem causing delays. The IRS might think someone else is using the taxpayer’s information, so they need to check the taxpayer’s identity. Also, if there are mistakes in the reported income or missing forms like the W-2, it can take longer to process. Torres says if you sent your tax return by email or paper, expect to wait because the IRS is still working on returns from last year. If you need help, you can call the Texas Taxpayer Assistance Project or check the IRS website for updates.
