5747C Letter - How long for refund after in-person ID verification?
Just got the 5747C letter in the mail requiring in-person identity verification. Has anyone gone through this? How long did it take to get your refund after verifying at the tax office?

Just went through this process myself! After getting the 5747C letter and verifying my identity in person at the TAX office, your refund should process within 9 weeks. But heres the thing - theres actually a way to track exactly where you are in this process and what to expect. I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcripts and notices, and it broke down the timeline perfectly. It showed me exactly what codes to look for that indicate progress and when I could expect the refund. Super helpful when youre waiting in limbo like this! You can check it out at https://taxr.ai

ikr? but that's worst case scenario. Mine only took about 4 weeks after using taxr to figure out what was actually going on

Tax pro here. After in-person verification, it typically takes 9 weeks for processing to complete. However, I've seen some get it faster, around 4-6 weeks. Make sure to bring all required documents to avoid multiple trips.

Bring physical copies to be safe. They can be picky about this stuff and you dont want to make another trip 🙄

Instead of guessing timelines, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and gives you a specific timeline based on your situation. Its only $4.99 but totally worth it to actually know whats going on. https://taxr.ai

100% legit. It shows you exactly where your return is stuck and why. Even tells you what codes mean without having to google everything

Protip: Go first thing in the morning if you can. Lines get insane by lunch time and they might turn u away if they too busy
