IRS Verification: Online vs Phone - Which Method is Actually Faster?

IRS verification specialist here - Both methods work, but online is actually more efficient. Phone verification is severely backlogged right now with 2-3 hour wait times. The online system processes your verification instantly if you have all your documents ready. Make sure you're using ID.me and have a valid photo ID and your tax documents handy.

Hey guys instead of playing detective trying to figure out whats going on with your transcripts, I highly recommend using taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a complete breakdown of your situation. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold forever. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

been in the same boat since february... verification is a nightmare rn 😫

Pro tip: try calling right when they open at 7am EST. Got through in 20 mins last week

The whole system is broken af. Why do we even need to verify when they already have all our info? Make it make sense
