Is this a 5071C letter verification notice? What's the next step?
Got this message from the IRS today and not sure what it means. The IRS webpage mentions verification but I don't see any specifics about what I need to verify. Anyone know if this is good or bad? Starting to worry since I need this refund soon.

That looks like a verification notice. The IRS needs to confirm your identity before they can process your refund. You'll need to either call them or verify online through ID.me. Pro tip: the online route is usually faster than waiting on hold for hours.

Usually 9 weeks is what they say, but I've seen it go faster. Just make sure you have all your docs ready when you verify!

Instead of guessing, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that reads your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when you'll get paid. Only costs a buck and saved me hours of research. https://taxr.ai

100% legit. It analyzed my transcript in like 2 mins and showed me exactly why I was delayed and when I'd get paid. Best dollar I ever spent no cap 💯
