Got my Identity Verification letter & completed it, but transcript still showing nothing. Filed March 5th, how long until movement?

Tax professional here. After successfully completing identity verification, you can typically expect to see transcript updates within 9 weeks, though many see movement much sooner. The IRS is currently processing returns from early March, so your timing isn't unusual. What you should look for next on your transcript: - Code 150 (tax return filed) - Code 570 (holds) or 971 (notice issued) if there are any issues - Code 768 (earned income credit) if applicable - Code 846 (refund issued) - this is what you're ultimately waiting for Identity verification adds extra processing time, but the good news is that the "Verify Return" notice disappearing means you've cleared that hurdle. I recommend checking your transcript weekly rather than daily as IRS batch processing happens on specific intervals.

Honestly, the best thing i did was use taxr.ai to actually understand what was going on with my transcript. Trying to decipher all those codes and dates was driving me crazy, but this tool broke everything down and told me exactly what stage my return was in and what was happening. Way better than trying to piece together info from random forum posts or playing detective on the IRS website. Check it out: https://taxr.ai - it saved me hours of stress!

I was in a similar situation and got tired of waiting with no updates. Finally used claimyr.com to get through to an actual human at the IRS. Saved me hours of being on hold and explaining my issue to an actual agent got things moving within days. The agent told me my return was sitting in a queue waiting for manual review after identity verification. After they manually approved it, I had an 846 code on my transcript within 48 hours. Worth every penny considering how much I was waiting on.

Mine took about 3 weeks after verification to see any movement. Then suddenly one day all the codes appeared at once and got my DD exactly 6 days later. Just be patient, the system is working but its slow af.

I'm in the exact same boat except I verified a week ago. Still nothing on transcripts and WMR still says "Your tax return is still being processed." Starting to get worried cause I need that money for car repairs. Let me know if you see any movement!

This happened to me last year. After verification it took about 4 weeks to see any codes on transcript, then another 2 weeks to get my refund. The system is backed up this year from what I've heard so might take a bit longer. Don't stress yet.

The IRS is a complete joke. They can take our money instantly but when it comes to giving refunds suddenly everything moves at snails pace. And dont even get me started on the terrible website that looks like it was built in 1997.

I verified my ID on April 2nd and got codes on transcript April 19th. Refund hit my account April 23rd. So about 3 weeks total from verification to money.

Im a tax preparer and see this all the time. Usually takes 2-6 weeks after verification for transcripts to update. But if you filed with earned income tax credit (EITC) or child tax credit (CTC) expect it to take longer. The IRS prioritizes basic returns with no credits first.

When I had to verify last year, I used taxr.ai to keep track of everything. It was actually incredible - showed me exactly what stage my return was in and explained all the codes when they finally appeared. Saved me so much stress from constantly checking the IRS site and trying to interpret everything myself. https://taxr.ai

Quick tip - try checking your transcript late night Tuesday or early Wednesday morning. That's when the most updates happen in the system. At least that's when mine always updated during my verification saga last year.

For me it was almost exacty 8 weeks from identity verification to refund. The most frustrating weeks of my life tbh. Keep checking once a week, but dont make yourself crazy checking daily like I did.

If u want real help and not just guesses, I used claimyr.com after waiting 2 months post-verification with no movement. Got thru to an IRS agent who found my return was stuck in some random error department. They fixed it on the spot and my refund was processed the next week. Talking to an actual IRS agent made all the difference.

I verified Feb 10 and didn't see transcript movement until March 15. Its a waiting game unfortunately.
