I successfully submitted documentation to the IRS on March 12th, 2024 after receiving a CP2000 Notice of Underreported Income. The key is to follow the Notice Instructions precisely. There is no general email submission process, but depending on your specific notice type, you may have access to the Documentation Upload Tool through your online account at IRS.gov. This is only available for certain notice types, however.
Just to clarify what others have said - the IRS doesn't have public email addresses for document submission. Each department has specific mailing addresses, and your notice will indicate exactly where to send your documents. The reason they don't use email is primarily for security and verification purposes. If your notice doesn't specifically mention an electronic submission option (which some newer notices do), then mail is your only official channel.
Thank you for explaining this so clearly! I was hoping for a quicker solution but at least now I know exactly what I need to do.
According to IRS Publication 5027, when a third-party processor like TPG is involved, the standard timeframe for complete processing is 1-3 business days after the official Direct Deposit Date. The National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) regulations allow financial institutions up to 24 hours to process incoming ACH transfers. Your timeline is currently within normal parameters and doesn't indicate any issues with your refund processing.
I checked the TPG Facebook page and Twitter yesterday because I was in the exact same situation. Lots of people reporting 24-48 hour delays between TPG showing funded and money actually hitting their Credit Karma cards. Mine finally showed up this morning, about 36 hours after TPG said funded. The Credit Karma subreddit has a whole thread about this too - apparently it's totally normal even though it's super annoying!
I had nearly identical timing last year after verification. Back in 2023, I verified on February 22nd and received my 846 code on February 28th. The IRS seems to be maintaining similar timeframes this year for post-verification processing. In my experience, returns that require verification but have no other issues tend to move quickly once your identity is confirmed. The system is designed to fast-track these returns since they've already been delayed by the verification step.
According to Internal Revenue Manual section 21.5.6.4.35, identity verification cases should be resolved within 9 weeks after successful verification. However, IRS Publication 5027 indicates expedited processing for returns with no other issues beyond identity verification. In fiscal year 2023, 87.3% of post-verification returns were processed within 14 days. Your 6-day timeline falls within the expected range for a return with no additional complications per IRM 21.5.6.4.35(2)(c).
I'm not convinced this verification process is even legitimate sometimes. Consider these points: ⢠The IRS never clearly explains WHY you were selected ⢠The timing is suspiciously inconsistent ⢠Some people get letters, others get prompted online ⢠There's no transparency about what triggers the verification ⢠The technical documentation about their selection algorithm is nonexistent It feels like they're just randomly delaying refunds to manage cash flow.
While I understand the frustration, the verification process is actually quite important in the broader context. It's possible, though not certain, that your status as a recent immigrant might have triggered additional verification steps. The IRS systems are generally designed to flag returns that deviate from established patterns, which may include first-time filers in the US system. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it helps protect both taxpayers and the treasury from potential fraud.

Def normal. Happens every yr. WMR and transcripts = different systems. My timeline this yr: - Filed: 2/12 - WMR: "Processing" 2/13 - Transcript: N/A until 2/28 - Transcript updated w/ 570 hold + 971 notice - Notice arrived 3/7 (minor math correction) - 571 release code 3/15 - DDD 3/20 - $$ in account 3/20 Pro tip: once transcript appears, look for cycle code. Last two digits tell u which day of week your acct updates. Mine was 05 = Thursday night updates.

ā¢Thank you for sharing your timeline! This is super helpful. I just got my transcript yesterday after weeks of N/A, and I have a cycle code ending in 05 too!

Have you checked if your return included any credits that might trigger additional review? The Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Credit can sometimes cause your return to be held for additional verification, which might explain the delay between systems.
