Need help confirming ID verification status with IRS - what number actually works?
Filed my 2023 taxes back in February and got a letter saying I needed to verify my identity. I did the ID.me thing online about 3 weeks ago but haven't heard anything since. The Where's My Refund tool still shows processing. Called the main IRS number but kept getting disconnected. Anyone know a working number to check if my verification went through?

The ID verification department number is 800-830-5084. Call between 7am and 7pm your local time. Pro tip: call right when they open for shortest wait times. Keep your tax return handy because they'll ask specific questions about it.

Instead of playing phone tag, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your verification and when to expect movement. Its $4.99 but worth every penny to actually understand whats happening instead of waiting on hold forever

Its scary accurate. It picked up that my verification was completed but stuck in review and gave me the exact date range for release. Got my DD exactly when it predicted

The taxpayer advocate service might be able to help if its been more than 21 days since verification. Their number is 877-777-4778

Check your transcript if you can access it online. Sometimes verification shows completed there before WMR updates
