Filed 1/29, WMR delayed, transcript N/A - Do I need to verify by phone after online verification?

Filed and got accepted January 29th but Where's My Refund is showing delayed beyond normal timeframe. My transcript is still showing N/A. Already did the ID verify online but wondering if I need to call and verify too? Anyone know the best time to call and typical hold times?

If you've already completed ID verification online successfully, you typically don't need to call unless you receive a specific notice requesting additional verification. The processing time after online verification is usually 9 weeks. Keep checking your transcript daily - once it switches from N/A, that's when you'll see movement.

Hey there! I was in the exact same boat last month. I ended up using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript (it only cost $1) and it showed me exactly what was causing my delay and when to expect movement. Saved me hours of research and detective work tbh https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It basically reads your transcript and uses AI to break down exactly whats happening with your return. Shows you all the important dates and codes in plain english

Best time to call is right when they open at 7am EST. I had to call last week and still waited 2 hrs tho lol

Check your tax transcript every Tuesday morning. Thats when they do the weekly updates. If its still N/A after online verification for more than 2 weeks, then maybe think about calling.

actually its Thursday night/Friday morning for transcript updates. Tuesday is just for WMR

I struck out trying to call 6 times last week. Gave up and used taxr.ai instead - showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it. Saved me so much time and stress!
