OK after looking at all the yahoo answers from last year I found several helpful sites and once you find out what TC gave you the delay code you can read them. Bare in mind that tracing the maze of TC codes can give you a migraine. Reference 8002 is a bs code that they put up when the computer spits out a batch of returns. 1121 is a code that translates to because of computer spitting it out, a person has to go in and tell computer to do it, if not they have to enter it just like a paper return. If that happens either you will get a notice saying about when to get your paper check or you will get a DD in about a month. The only people who have to worry about delay codes are the people who got the code because of TC codes like 844-845. That will result in a possible audit or big delay in your refund.
The 1st site is from IRS and they omitted several pages of stuff they don’t want us to see
http://books.google.com/books?id=6hGBJBo7Jv0C&pg=PT487&lpg=PT487&dq=Transaction+Code+TC+720,+TC+841+or+TC+842&source=web&ots=aC72auhzsr&sig=w-1UZolhUZM2ikX1L1R1QdSqnnQ&hl=en&ei=yCiLSbz8KqS8Mdn_6c8H&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPT488,M1
The 2nd site is just from searching nonstop for an explanation.

Like I said go to IRS site and search for your delay reference number, that will give you TC codes, then go the the 2 sites I posted to find out what caused the delay.
Hope this helps someone.
