Though it will probably increase your anxiety level, you can

requires further review.
Here's an extract from the IRS Internal Revenue Manual:

The CP 05 notice advises the taxpayer that the return is being
reviewed and the refund held to ensure the accuracy of:

Income reported on the return
Income tax withholding amounts reported on the return
Claims for tax credits made on the return and/or
Business income reported on the return

The CP 05 notice advises the taxpayer:

Not to send any additional information at this time
The refund will be received or another contact initiated
within three weeks of the notice date

Call (800) 829–1040, if the taxpayer has not received the
refund or an additional contact within 3 weeks of the notice date

Call the Taxpayer Advocate Service for assistance with
financial burdens or hardships

Once the review is complete the taxpayer will:

Receive the refund
Be asked for additional information or clarification of
items on the return, or
Receive notification the refund was denied. Appeal rights
will be included.

For the first time ever, I e-filed this year (via TurboTax). According to
the IRS web site I was to receive
my refund (deposited electronically) on Feb 15th.
But, instead, I received another notice that there is a delay and that if I
don't receive the refund within 4 weeks
to call and mention reference # 1221.

So, I called early, since I was a little nervous about this delay and having
my first problem ever with the IRS. (I am retired.)
The customer service rep at the IRS was very pleasant and said that I was to
receive a CP 05 in the mail (within 4 weeks).
She wasn't sure what the problem was with my return.

What does all this mean? What should I do, if anything at this point?

Thanks in advance.
