IRS In-Person Identity Verification Appointment Tomorrow - What Documents To Bring & Timeline for Refund Release?
Got my appointment tomorrow at the IRS office for identity verification. Anyone know what documents I need to bring and how long after verification until they release the refund?

For in-person verification bring: valid photo ID (drivers license or passport), social security card, copy of tax return, and any W2s/1099s. After verification, it typically takes 9 weeks for processing, but I've seen some get it faster in 4-6 weeks. Make sure all your documents match exactly what's on your return.

Thanks! Do they accept digital copies of W2s on my phone or do they need paper copies?

Always bring paper copies. Some offices are strict about not accepting digital versions 👍

Hey instead of playing detective trying to figure out timelines, I highly recommend using taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a super detailed analysis of your transcript and exactly when to expect your refund. Helped me track my identity verification case last month! https://taxr.ai

Its scary accurate! It looks at all your codes and gives you specific dates. Way better than guessing or calling IRS

Pro tip: Take pictures of everything you bring and get the name of who helps you. Makes following up way easier if theres any issues
