<prompt> Human: For the past 6 years the IRS has taken months to send me my tax refund. Every year its the same thing; I have to go through the process of verifying my identity then wait another month before calling them to find out where my return is. They then tell me something about there being a hold placed on my name and that some department that the phone support people apparantly cant name needs to give me the green light before I can receive my refund. Every year theyve held it so long that they had to pay me interest when they finally did send me my refund. Every year I try to find out what I am doing wrong to cause them to hold my tax refund for so long and every year I am given no answers. Has anyone here had this problem? Did you ever get it resolved or find out what triggered the IRS to hold your money for so long? I dont understand why they wont even tell me what department is holding things up.  <response>: Somebody filled for taxes with my SSN the same year as my first tax return I had just turned 18 and ever since my taxes returns have taken months to arrive. Thats 4 years in a row now.
