Identity Verified by Phone on Monday - Any Transcript Updates?

I went through ID verification over the phone last month. In my experience, it took about 5-7 business days to see the first transcript update after verification. The system doesn't update instantly - there's a processing queue they have to work through. Last year was even worse... took almost 3 weeks after verification. Don't panic if you don't see anything tomorrow, though that would be nice! Just keep checking your transcript every morning (they typically update overnight between 3-5am). You should see a 971 notice code first, followed by other movement.

If you need to speak with an actual IRS agent again to check your status, I highly recommend using Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com). After my ID verification, I had some concerns about a missing W-2, and I spent approximately 3.5 hours on hold using the standard IRS telephone queue. Ultimately, I utilized Claimyr's service and was connected to an IRS representative in under 20 minutes. The representative confirmed that my verification was properly recorded in their system and provided an Estimated Deposit Date (EDD). The service fee was nominal compared to the peace of mind I received knowing exactly where my return stood in the processing pipeline.

I verified over the phone on April 17th and just saw my transcript update today! The 570 hold code disappeared and got replaced with an 846 DDD for next Wed. Hang in there! I was literally checking WMR and transcripts like 3x a day bc I'm so broke rn and needed to know when $ was coming. The waiting is the WORST part esp when u need the $$ for something important. Hope u see movement soon!

After my ID verification, I had difficulty interpreting the transcript codes that appeared. Used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript and it correctly identified that my 570 freeze code was specifically related to the identity verification process rather than an audit or other issue. The analysis showed that based on my cycle code and processing pattern, I should expect resolution within 7-10 days post-verification. The prediction was accurate as my DDD appeared exactly 8 days after verification. The transcript codes can be cryptic but having them properly interpreted helps manage expectations.

Be careful about expectations after verification! I've tracked post-verification timelines for the past two tax seasons, and here's what I've observed: • Standard processing: 5-9 business days for transcript updates • Returns with credits (CTC/EITC): 7-12 business days • Returns with amended information: 12-21 business days • Returns flagged for additional review: 14-30+ business days The most common issue is that verification only solves the identity problem. If there are other issues with your return, they'll start working on those AFTER verification completes. About 22% of verified returns end up with secondary holds, so don't assume verification is the only hurdle.

You might want to consider checking your Account Transcript rather than just the Return Transcript, if you haven't already. Sometimes, the Account Transcript will show processing updates that aren't yet reflected in the Return Transcript. Also, it's possibly worth checking the Where's My Refund tool, though in my experience, it tends to update somewhat later than the transcripts do. I believe many people get transcript updates before WMR shows any change.

Don't get your hopes up too much. I verified on March 15th and didn't see ANY updates for 3 weeks. Called again and found out they had a "secondary review" that wasn't disclosed during verification. Had to wait another 2 weeks after that. They never tell you the full story on the first call. Just prepare yourself for a longer wait than they promise.

I think I may have had a similar situation to yours. I verified my identity on April 10th, and my transcript updated exactly 6 business days later. First I saw code 971 appear (notice issued), then the next day I got code 846 with a direct deposit date. My verification was specifically for the tax advocate PIN issue though, so your timeline might be slightly different if your verification was for something else.

Did they tell you exactly what triggered the verification requirement in the first place? Sometimes knowing that helps predict how long the rest of the process will take.
