IRS Identity Verification Process - What to Expect and Timeline?

thank u! do u know if the 4-9 weeks starts from when u verify or from when u originally filed?

From when you verify. The clock basically resets once you complete verification.

Is this legit? Seems to good to be true tbh 🤔

100% legit! It analyzes every code on ur transcript and explains exactly whats happening. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold with IRS for hours

just tried it and OMG where has this been all my life?! Finally understand wtf is going on with my refund 😭

same boat bestie 😩 this whole system is broken

MVP right here 👑 gonna try this tomorrow

This is super helpful! The Friday transcript update tip is something I hadn't heard before - definitely going to start checking then instead of obsessively refreshing every day lol. Question though - when you say the 846 refund code appears, does that mean the money is basically guaranteed at that point or could there still be delays? Just trying to manage my expectations here since I'm really counting on this refund 😅

Once you see the 846 code with a date, that's basically your guarantee! The money is already allocated and should hit your account on or before that date. I've never heard of delays after the 846 appears - that's the "we're sending your money" code. The only thing that could potentially slow it down is if your bank takes an extra day to process, but even then it's usually within that 3-5 day window. You're in the home stretch once you see that code! 🎉

Once you see the 846 code with a date, the money is pretty much guaranteed! That's the actual refund date the IRS has scheduled for you. I've never seen anyone not get their refund once that code shows up. The only potential delay would be if it's going to a closed bank account or something like that, but assuming your banking info is correct you should see it on that exact date (or the business day after if it falls on a weekend). So yeah, when you see that 846 code you can basically breathe a sigh of relief! 🙌

@Diego Mendoza Once you see the 846 code with a date, that s'basically your guaranteed refund date! The IRS has already approved your refund at that point and it s'just a matter of the banking system processing it. I ve'never heard of delays once that code appears - it s'pretty much set in stone. The only thing that might affect timing is if the date falls on a weekend/holiday, then it usually hits your account the next business day. Hope that helps ease some of the anxiety!

Once you see the 846 code with a date, that's basically your guarantee! The IRS has already processed your refund and sent it to your bank. The only delays at that point would be on your bank's end (some banks hold refunds for a day or two) but the money is definitely coming. I was obsessively checking daily too until someone told me about the Friday thing - saved my sanity! You're in the home stretch once you get through verification, just hang tight 💪

Once you see the 846 code, you're basically in the clear! That's the IRS saying "we're sending your money" so at that point it's just waiting for the bank transfer to process. I've never heard of anyone getting the 846 code and then NOT getting their refund. The 3-5 business days is pretty accurate - mine hit my account on day 4. So yeah, when you see that 846 you can finally breathe easy! 😊

@Diego Mendoza Once you see that 846 code with a date, you re'golden! That s'the IRS basically saying we "re'sending your money on this date. I" ve'never heard of delays after that code appears - it s'like the final confirmation. The only thing that could potentially delay it would be bank processing time, but even that s'usually just 1-2 days max. So yeah, when you see 846 you can basically start counting down the days! The obsessive checking is so real though 😂 I was refreshing multiple times a day until I learned about the Friday thing.

@Diego Mendoza Once you see the 846 code with a date, that s'basically your deposit date - it s'pretty much guaranteed at that point! The IRS has already approved your refund and scheduled the payment. I ve'never heard of anyone not getting their money once that code shows up. The only potential delay might be if it s'going to a closed bank account or something like that, but otherwise you re'golden. I totally get the obsessive checking thing - I was doing the same thing every single day until I learned about the Friday update pattern. Made the waiting so much more bearable knowing when to actually look for changes!

@Diego Mendoza once you see the 846 code with a date, that s'basically your deposit date! It s'pretty much guaranteed at that point - I ve'never heard of it not coming through once that code appears. The IRS is actually really reliable with the deposit timing once they commit to a date. So yeah, when you see that 846 code you can basically breathe a sigh of relief and start planning how to spend it 😊 Just make sure to check if it s'going to your bank account or if they re'mailing a check based on how you filed.

@Diego Mendoza Once you see the 846 code with a date, that s'basically your guarantee! The money is already processed and allocated to you at that point. I ve'never heard of delays after the 846 appears - it s'just a matter of waiting for the banking system to transfer it. Usually shows up in your account 1-2 days before the date listed on the transcript. So yeah, once you see that code you can breathe easy knowing it s'on the way!

@Diego Mendoza Once you see the 846 code with a date, that s'basically the IRS saying we "re'sending your money on this date -" it s'pretty much guaranteed at that point! I ve'never heard of delays after the 846 appears. The date they show is usually the deposit date, so you might even see it in your account a day or two before depending on your bank. I was checking my transcript like crazy too until I saw that magical 846 code 😂 Hang in there!

Once you see the 846 code with a date, that's basically your guarantee! The IRS has officially approved your refund at that point. I've never heard of delays after that code appears - it's just a matter of the banking system processing it. The date next to the 846 code is usually when it gets sent to your bank, then it's 1-2 days for direct deposit or 5-7 days if they're mailing a check. So yeah, once you see that code you can pretty much breathe easy! @Diego Mendoza

@Diego Mendoza Once you see the 846 code with a refund date, it s'pretty much guaranteed! That s'the IRS saying we "re'sending your money on this date. The" only delays after that would be bank processing time usually (1-2 days for direct deposit or) if there s'some weird bank issue. But honestly once I saw my 846 code I was able to relax because I knew it was finally happening. The transcript codes are way more reliable than the Where "s'My Refund tool" which barely updates.
