Just a heads up, changing your address with the IRS doesn't automatically update it for other gov agencies. Make sure you also update with Social Security, your state tax agency, etc.
idk if this helps but I found some good info on the taxpayer advocate service website. they have guides for stuff like this and can sometimes help if you run into issues with the IRS
The Taxpayer Advocate Service is legit. They helped me resolve an issue last year when I couldn't get anywhere with the regular IRS channels.
Did your Where's My Refund tool update at all? Mine's been stuck on "still processing" for weeks even though my transcript has all kinds of activity and codes.
Ive been in the same boat, OP. Took me weeks to finally get my identity verified. Just keep at it and don't give up. You'll get there eventually!
Has anyone tried using the IRS's online identity verification system? I heard they rolled out something new recently but idk if it actually works
I tried it but got stuck halfway through. Ended up having to call anyway š
Ugh, I feel your pain OP. I'm in the same boat rn. Been trying to get this sorted for weeks. The IRS is seriously understaffed and overworked. Patience is key... but it suuuucks š«
Quick question - are you sure it's actually from the IRS? There are a lot of scams out there. Make sure the letter is legit before you do anything else.
Check the IRS website, they have examples of their official letters. Also, legit IRS letters always come through USPS, never email. And they'll never ask for personal info over the phone or email.

Dunno if this helps but my transcripts were blank for 8 weeks and then suddenly updated with everything at once - acceptance, processing, approval, and refund date all on the same day. Sometimes they batch process returns and everything happens at once.

Did u change addresses, file status, or income level dramatically from last year? Any of those can trigger additional verification.

ā¢My income increased about 30% from last year but everything else is the same. Would that be enough to trigger a review?

ā¢Yep that could do it, especially if you're claiming refundable credits. Significant income changes sometimes flag for verification.
