ID Verified Online Last Saturday - Still No DDD Update

Per IRS Publication 1345, identity verification processing typically takes 9-21 business days. The current backlog has extended this to approximately 4 weeks for many filers. Your military status doesn't expedite the ID verification process unfortunately, though you can request a hardship exception if your PCS creates financial difficulty. Don't worry though - the verification step means they've accepted your return and are just confirming identity before releasing funds.

I was in the exact same boat last month. Verified on February 11th and was checking WMR obsessively. I started using https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript once it updated - it explained that my 570 code was just part of the verification process, not an actual hold. It predicted my DDD would be March 6th based on my cycle code, and sure enough, that's exactly when it came through. Saved me so much anxiety knowing what was actually happening instead of guessing.

Just a heads up - the timeline after verification seems to depend on what day of the week you verified. I verified on a Tuesday and got my DDD exactly 9 days later, but my sister verified on a Saturday (like you) and it took 16 days. Something about how their processing cycles work. 😅 I've noticed weekend verifications seem to take longer to process for some reason. Have you checked if your transcript shows any updates at all?

Have you tried calling the IRS directly? Have you spent hours on hold only to get disconnected? Wouldn't it be nice to actually speak with a live agent who can tell you exactly what's happening with your return after verification? I discovered Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) last week when I was in the same situation - they got me connected to an IRS agent in about 30 minutes. The agent confirmed my verification was complete and my refund was scheduled for the following week, even though WMR hadn't updated yet.

I verified on March 2nd and received my DDD on March 20th. Here's the exact timeline: - March 2nd: Completed ID.me verification - March 13th: Transcript updated with 571 code (resolved additional account action) - March 15th: Transcript showed 846 code with DDD of March 20th - March 20th: Refund deposited You should see movement by this weekend if you verified on March 16th. If nothing by April 5th, you need to call them ASAP before your PCS.

Weekly processing cycles matter. Verified returns get batched. Most process Thursday nights. Check transcript Friday mornings. WMR updates Saturday. Patience is key. System works but slowly.

FINALLY got my refund yesterday after verifying on February 28th! It took 24 freaking days with zero updates until suddenly my transcript changed and money appeared the next day! I was so angry checking every day and seeing nothing change. The stress was unreal especially since I needed that money for car repairs. Hang in there - it WILL come but the waiting is absolutely maddening!

Be careful about counting on a specific timeline. My verification seemed to go through fine, but then I got a letter requesting additional documentation two weeks later. Have you checked your mail carefully? Sometimes they need more than just the ID verification, especially if you claimed certain credits. Did you claim any education credits or anything unusual on your return?
