Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it.

A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.

Note, it is not the IRS that is sending this out; they are in no way involved with this. But if you, or someone you know, gets an e-mail that looks like this, get rid of it!
