ID Verify Letter Finally Arrived - How Long After Verification Until Refund Movement?

Finally got my ID verify letter in the mail after waiting almost a month. Anyone know what to expect for timeline once I complete the verification? Getting anxious about my refund and need some real world experiences.

ID verification processing typically takes 9 weeks from the date you complete the verification. However, I've seen some accounts update within 2-3 weeks. Make sure to keep checking your transcript for the 971 code to change to 290, which indicates successful verification.

9 weeks?! 😭 I was hoping it would be faster since they already made me wait so long for the letter

sometimes its faster! Don't lose hope. I've seen some get updated in 2 weeks

Hey instead of playing the waiting game, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect movement. Its only $1 and saved me weeks of anxiety. https://taxr.ai

That's awesome! Did you have to call them or did it just update automatically on your transcript? Trying to figure out if I should be proactive or just wait it out

I just went through this exact same process! Completed my ID verification about 6 weeks ago and my refund finally processed last Friday. The key is to keep checking your transcript weekly rather than daily (I know it's hard lol). Look for the 971 notice code to disappear and be replaced with 846 refund issued code. Also make sure you have direct deposit set up because that speeds things up by about a week compared to paper checks. Hang in there - the waiting is the worst part but it will come through!
