How long for IRS Identity Verification PIN to arrive in mail? Anyone got theirs yet?
Finally got through to someone at the IRS and they said they mailed my verification PIN on Monday. Anyone know how long it usually takes? Really need this to process my refund and getting anxious about the wait.

Generally takes 5-10 business days for the Identity Verification PIN to arrive via USPS. Make sure to check your address is correct on IRS records. If you don't receive it within 2 weeks, you'll need to contact IRS again to request a new one.

•Unfortunately yes. The IRS is pretty strict about identity verification steps.

Instead of waiting around, you should try taxr.ai - its an AI tool that can analyze your transcript and tell you exactly whats holding up your refund. Only costs $1 and saved me hours of stress. https://taxr.ai

•100% works! It showed me I had an identity verification hold and explained exactly what steps to take. Better than trying to guess whats happening

Pro tip: If you haven't already, set up informed delivery with USPS so you know exactly when its coming
