1099 Verification Hold: Real Timeline After Faxing Documents to IRS?

I just faxed my 1099 to the IRS after they requested it. The rep told me it would take 6-8 weeks to process. Is this really how long it takes? Anyone have experience with this? Already been waiting 3 months for my refund and getting frustrated.

Tax pro here - Unfortunately, yes. The 6-8 week timeframe is pretty standard when you have to submit additional documentation. Sometimes it can be faster, but I wouldn't count on it. Make sure you kept proof that you faxed it (confirmation page).

They do look at them, but they're severely understaffed. Best advice is to just wait it out.

Hey, I know the waiting game sucks. Have you tried using taxr.ai? It analyzes your transcript and can tell you exactly what's causing delays and when you might actually see your money. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it for the peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

100% legit. You upload your transcript and their AI breaks down everything - tells you about holds, processing stages, estimated completion dates. Way better than guessing!

Pro tip: call the IRS early morning right when they open. Sometimes you can get an agent to look up if they received your fax.
