How Long Until "Need More Information" Notice Clears After ID Verification on IRS Account for 2024 Return

I just verified my identity for my 2024 tax return through sa.www4.irs.gov, and now I'm seeing a notification on my IRS account saying "We need more information about your 2024 tax return before it can be processed." When I log into my account at 9:38, I can see that I currently have 2 unread notifications in my account. The first notification says "Refund Status Now Available - Check your refund status for up to the three most recent tax years." The second notification, which concerns me, appears right under the "Verify Your Tax Return Information Now" section and states "We need more information about your 2024 tax return before it can be processed." On the left side of my account page, I can see sections for: - Payments - MAKE A PAYMENT - View Payment Options - View Payment Activity Under Records and Status, I have options for: - View Tax Records for: • Key information from your most recent tax return • Downloadable transcripts and Tax Compliance Report - View Status for: • Current or past audits I've already completed the identity verification process, but this notification about needing more information is still showing up. I'm specifically concerned about this verification notification and wondering if it will automatically clear or if I need to take additional steps. Has anyone gone through this process and knows how long it typically takes for this "need more information" notification to clear after completing the identity verification? Is this a normal part of the verification process, or do I need to provide additional documentation?

The IRS.gov account screenshot shows a pending verification status at 9:38, with 2 unread notifications. The key notification under "Verify Your Tax Return Information Now" indicates your 2024 return requires additional verification before processing can continue. This is a standard security measure, not necessarily indicating any issues with your return. The menu structure visible shows several important sections: - Payment management options - Tax record access - Transcript downloading capabilities - Audit status viewing The presence of this verification notice alongside normal account features indicates your account is active and functioning properly - this is just a routine verification checkpoint. Based on typical IRS processing patterns, this verification notice should clear within 48-72 hours after completing the identity verification steps, though during peak filing season (January-April) it may take up to 9 days. The mention of "three most recent tax years" for refund status checking is standard IRS functionality and not related to your current verification need. Once the verification notice disappears from your account homepage, your return will proceed to normal processing.
