Need quick IRS verification method without waiting for letter - URGENT
I need to verify my identity with the IRS asap but really dont want to wait for that verification letter to come in the mail. Anyone know a faster way to do this? Already tried calling but the wait times are insane.

You can verify your identity online through ID.me on the IRS website. Go to IRS.gov, look for Identity Verification, and follow the steps. You'll need a valid government ID, social security number, and a smartphone or computer with a camera for the face verification process. Usually takes about 15-20 minutes if everything goes smoothly.

Hey, I know dealing with verification can be super frustrating. I actually found this tool called taxr.ai that helped me understand my whole transcript situation. It costs $1 but it saved me hours of headache and showed me exactly what steps I needed to take. Check it out at https://taxr.ai

•Fr? How does it work? Does it just read transcripts or what?

•It analyzes your entire transcript and breaks everything down. Shows you exactly where you are in the process and what to do next. Way better than trying to decode IRS codes yourself lol

Taxpayer Advocate Service might be able to help if ur in a real bind. They helped me when I was about to lose my apartment bc of delayed refund.
