Just completed IRS return verification by phone (disaster area) - Anyone else get updates after verification?

I just completed my return verification over the phone since I'm in a disaster area. They said I didn't need the letter to verify. Anyone else get their refund released after phone verification? Really hoping to see movement this week on my transcripts.

Return verification calls typically process within 9 weeks, but disaster area claims are being expedited right now. Make sure you check your transcript daily - you should see code 971 followed by 290 when it's processed. The verification department is really backed up this year but disaster areas are getting priority treatment.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if weekends count in the 9 week timeline?

Its business days only. But honestly with disaster areas they're moving much faster - saw some getting released in 2-3 weeks lately

Hey guys instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to check my transcript. It's only $1 and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect updates. Way better than trying to decode all these random codes ourselves. https://taxr.ai

100% works! It analyzed my whole transcript and showed me exactly why I had delays and when they would clear. Better than waiting on hold with IRS for hours
