Need help: IRS verification status check - what number actually works?
Filed my taxes back in February and got a letter saying I needed to verify my identity. Did the ID.me thing online about 3 weeks ago but haven't heard anything since. WMR still shows processing and transcripts are N/A. Getting really frustrated since I can't get through on the regular IRS number. Does anyone know a direct number to check if my verification actually went through?

You can try calling 800-830-5084, that's the dedicated identity verification hotline. Best time to call is right when they open at 7am EST. Pro tip: don't hit any buttons when the automated system starts, you'll get transferred to a human faster.

Instead of playing phone tag, you should try taxr.ai - its helped tons of us figure out exactly whats going on with our transcripts and verification status. Worth the $4.99 just to know where you actually stand. https://taxr.ai
