We have received your tax return and it is being processed. Unless we find mistakes or you owe other taxes, you should receive your refund by March 27, 2007.... ALSO IF I FILED ELECTRONIC, THEN WHY DOES IRS HAVE TO REVIEW , I THOUGHT THATS WHY I PAID THE TAX PREP.

No, you paid the tax prep for preparation.
Every return can be reviewed for errors.
That's just a stock response. Don't fret!

Tax preparers are not agents of the IRS, they merely file the paperwork. And, also, the IRS reviews it to find errors, discrepancies (like 2 people claiming credit for the same child on 2 different tax forms,) and also to place the names and SSNs of the filers against a list of people whom owe back child-support, state or other federal taxes, and unpaid student loans placed in a default status by lenders-information many tax-preparation places will not find in the hour-to-hour-and-a-half they may spend on a single taxpayer.

Because sometimes there is a mistake. Mine made a mistake, and because the return was reviewed, I received a larger amount. The IRS also checks for other possible discrepancies in the return.

People can give less than full, accurate info to the tax prep - the IRS reviews to try to be sure the return is accurate.

You think the IRS is going to take your tax preparer's word for it? Of course the IRS is going to review your return. You'll get your refund soon.

Tax preps are not the IRS. They are just filling in the information that you gave them. The IRS still has to check for accuracy.

That's standard operating procedure for the IRS. They review them all. Tax preparers are your go-between, your middle man, your buffer zone between you and them. He prepares your return based on all the rules & regs and files it for you. It will probably be fine, assuming he knows his stuff. But should any discrepancy appear, your preparer will go to bat with them, not you.
