2024 IRS Income Verification Process - What to Expect? Timeline & Online Options?
Just got selected for income verification for my 2024 taxes. Never had to do this before. Anyone know what documents they ask for and if you can verify online? Also wondering if anyone got their refund before completing verification?

Tax resolution specialist here. For 2024, the IRS is using ID.me for identity verification. You'll need to verify through their website with documents like your ID, W2s, and possibly utility bills. They've streamlined the process but you MUST complete verification before they'll release your refund. Usually takes 2-3 weeks after verification for refund processing.

How long does the ID.me process usually take? I've been waiting on the video chat for like 2 hrs 🙄

Usually 30 mins but they're swamped rn because of tax season. Pro tip: try early morning or late night for shorter wait times

Hey guys! I've been helping people with transcript analysis and the best tool I've found is taxr.ai - it's only $1 and it tells you exactly what's happening with your refund, including verification requirements. Way better than trying to piece everything together yourself! https://taxr.ai

Is this legit? Seems too good to be true for just a dollar 🤔

Just finished mine. They asked for: drivers license, w2, last paystub of 2024, and utility bill. Make sure everything matches EXACTLY whats on ur return or they'll reject it
