IRS Verification Notice after acceptance - Rep says no letter sent yet. Should I keep calling?
My return was accepted on Jan 28th and got a Verify your tax return notification last week. Called IRS today and the rep said its still processing and they dont see any letter in the system yet. They just told me to wait 21 days but something feels off about that answer. Should I keep calling or what?

The verification notice typically means you need to verify your identity through ID.me or by visiting a local IRS office. Don't wait for a letter - if you received the notification, you should take action now. The 21-day standard processing time doesn't apply until after verification is complete.

Yep, unfortunately some reps just give generic answers. Go to irs.gov/identity-verification-letter and start there

Hey guys instead of playing detective with your transcript or waiting on hold forever with the IRS, try taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and what to do next. It costs $1 but its worth every penny https://taxr.ai

The IRS phone reps are basically reading from a script most of the time. Half of them dont even know what there talking about tbh

Verification usually means either identity or income verification. Did you start a new job in 2023? Or claim any credits like EIC?
