How long after IRS Identity Verification (ID Verify) until refund is released?

Just checked my transcripts and got hit with identity verification requirement. Never had to do this with previous returns. Anyone know the typical wait time after completing verification? Getting anxious since I was counting on this money.

Identity verification usually takes about 9 weeks to process after you complete it. Make sure you have all required documents ready before starting - you'll need ID, tax returns, and other personal info. The verification can be done online through ID.me or by calling the IRS verification hotline. Keep checking your transcript weekly for updates.

Hey! Instead of playing the guessing game, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - its this new 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. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It does wayyyy more than just read it! It looks at all your codes, dates, everything and explains it in plain english. Plus it gives you a timeline prediction based on your specific situation

PSA: if id.me doesnt work for u, call the verification hotline at 800-830-5084. Sometimes the online stuff can be glitchy
