ID verification complete with IRS - how long for refund after verification?
Finally got through the ID verification process with the IRS yesterday. Has anyone gone through this recently? How long did it take to get your refund after verifying? Really need this money and hoping it won't take months.

Tax professional here - typically after ID verification, it takes about 9 weeks for the IRS to process and release your refund. However, I've seen some get it faster, around 4-5 weeks. Make sure to keep checking your transcript for updates.

Unfortunately no shortcuts with the IRS. They move at their own pace 🐌

Hey! The best way to track this is actually using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly where you are in the process and estimated timeframe. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it. https://taxr.ai
