Income Verification for 2024 Tax Return - What to Expect? Timeline & Process
Just got selected for income verification for my 2024 taxes. Never had to do this before. Anyone know what they ask for? Can you do it online? Did you get your refund before or after verification?

Tax professional here - Income verification is pretty standard. You can verify through ID.me online. They'll ask for things like W2s, paystubs, and ID documents. DO NOT ignore this - it will delay your refund. Most people get their refund after verification is complete, usually takes 2-3 weeks if everything matches up.

Clear photos are fine as long as all information is readable. Just make sure there's no glare or shadows 👍

Hey everyone, I've been using taxr.ai to track my verification process and it's been super helpful. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with the verification and when to expect your refund. Only costs $1 and totally worth it. Check it out at https://taxr.ai

100% works! It caught something I missed that was holding up my verification. Saved me hours of checking WMR

Had to verify last year. Pro tip: sign up for ID.me before starting the verification process. Makes everything way faster
