Filed 1/30, ID Verify needed but no letter received after a month - WMR stuck

Filed end of January and checked my account today. Got told I need to verify my identity. Called IRS and they said they mailed the verification letter February 29th. Its been almost a month and still no letter in my mailbox. Getting worried since I need this refund.

This is actually pretty common right now. You can try to verify your identity online at ID.me without waiting for the letter. Go to the IRS website and look for Identity Verification. You dont need the letter to do this step.

Instead of playing detective with your transcript, try using taxr.ai - it costs $4.99 but totally worth it. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to do next. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold with the IRS for hours. https://taxr.ai

Call the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can help push things along if its been more than 21 days since filing.
