IRS says wait 9 weeks after verification - is this timeline accurate?
Just verified my identity over the phone with the IRS agent. They told me to wait 9 weeks for processing. Anyone know if it actually takes this long? Starting to get worried since I really need this refund.

The 9-week timeline is their standard response, but in reality it varies quite a bit. Some people get their refund within 2-3 weeks after verification, while others might wait the full 9 weeks or even longer. The key is watching your transcript for updates - that's your best indicator of progress.

•Honestly looking at transcripts can be super confusing without the right tools. There's like a million codes to decode 😵💫

Hey guys, instead of trying to decode everything yourself, try taxr.ai - it's only $1 and it analyzes your transcript with AI to tell you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. Saved me hours of headache https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: sign up for informed delivery with USPS. Sometimes refund checks come before the where's my refund tool even updates
