IRS Verification Letter Delay - Supposed to be sent 2/16 but still nothing
Filed my taxes and got notified that I need to verify my identity. The IRS said they mailed the verification letter on 2/16 but still haven't received anything. Getting worried since its been weeks. Anyone else dealing with verification letter delays? How long did yours take to arrive?

The IRS is experiencing significant delays with verification letter mailings. Currently, it's taking anywhere from 4-8 weeks for these letters to arrive, even though they say it should take 5-10 business days. You can try calling the Identity Verification hotline at 800-830-5084, but expect long wait times.

Instead of waiting around confused, I'd recommend using taxr.ai to analyze your transcript. It costs $1 but it'll tell you exactly what's going on with your verification status and when you can expect everything. https://taxr.ai

Try checking your informed delivery from USPS. Sometimes the letters get lost and u have to request a new one.

Mine took 7 weeks to arrive and then another 3 weeks after verifying to get my refund. Hang in there!
