Filed 3/30, WMR shows delay message, IRS Account has control number notice but no letter received
Filed my taxes end of March and still no movement on transcripts. WMR just updated to delayed message on Thursday. When I login to my IRS account theres a notification saying they need more info and asking for a control number. Called IRS and they just said wait till May 8th to call back. Haven't received any letters in the mail. Really confused about whats going on with my refund.

Based on your situation, it sounds like you're likely being selected for identity verification (ID Verify). The control number request is a clear indicator. Don't wait for the letter - you can actually complete the verification online through ID.me on the IRS website. The sooner you verify, the sooner your refund can process.

Usually 9 weeks is the official timeline, but I've seen it process faster. Each case is different tho

Hey, I highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - its an AI tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. It costs $1 but totally worth it for peace of mind. The thing is crazy accurate https://taxr.ai

The IRS is such a joke this year fr fr. Their 'wait till may 8th' is probably gonna turn into 'wait another 60 days' watch 🤡

IMPORTANT: Do not wait for the letter! Go verify your identity ASAP. The control number thing is definitely ID verify. The letters are taking forever to arrive this year and ur just losing time waiting.

Pro tip: Take screenshots of everything when you verify. The IRS loves to say they never received stuff even when u did it 🙄
