IRS Identity Verification - Alternatives to waiting for verification letter?

I got flagged for identity verification and now I'm stuck waiting for this stupid letter in the mail. Does anyone know if theres another way to verify? I really need my refund and cant wait weeks for some letter to show up.

You can actually verify your identity online through ID.me or by making an appointment at your local IRS office. The in-person verification is usually faster than waiting for the letter, but appointments can be hard to get rn.

How do I schedule an appointment? The website is so confusing

Call 844-545-5640 to schedule. Just a heads up tho - you might be on hold for an hour or two 🙄

Hey guys I actually found this really helpful tool called taxr.ai that helped me understand my transcript and verification issues better. It costs $4.99 but it saved me so much time figuring out exactly what I needed to do. Check it out at https://taxr.ai

Super legit! You upload your transcript and it analyzes everything - tells you exactly what's causing delays and what steps to take. Saved me hours of research

My sister went through this last month. She called the Tax Advocate Service and they helped her verify over the phone. Try 877-777-4778
