How long after ID.me verification until refund release? Still waiting after online verification
Finally got through the ID verification on the IRS website last week. Anyone know the timeline for getting the refund released after completing verification? Been waiting since February and getting worried.

Tax pro here - typically it takes 9 weeks after successful verification, but I've seen some get it faster. The system is really backed up this year though, so don't be surprised if it takes the full 9 weeks.

•Honestly calling rarely helps. They'll just tell you to wait the 9 weeks. Save yourself the 2 hour hold time

Hey guys, if you want to actually understand whats going on with your refund, check out taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your money. Its $4.99 but totally worth it vs trying to decode everything yourself.

•Not a scam at all! It saved me weeks of stress. You upload your transcript and it explains everything in plain english + gives you a timeline

I'm going through the same thing right now! Just verified through ID.me about 10 days ago and the waiting is killing me. From what I've read on here and other forums, it seems like most people are getting their refunds between 4-9 weeks after verification. The IRS website says up to 9 weeks but some folks are getting lucky with faster processing. I've been checking my transcript obsessively but no updates yet. Hang in there - we're almost at the finish line! 🤞
