Verified without Control Number? Can't wait for IRS verification letter anymore!
Is there anyway to verify my identity without waiting for this control number letter? Been waiting for weeks now and this is getting ridiculous. The IRS has my money and I seriously need it. Starting to get desperate here.

Unfortunately, the verification letter with the control number is required for ID.me verification. This is a security measure to prevent identity theft. Your best option is to call the IRS Identity Verification hotline at 800-830-5084 to possibly expedite the letter.

•Keep trying early morning, right when they open. Usually shorter wait times then.

Hey, I was in the same boat last month. I actually found this tool called taxr.ai that helped me understand exactly what was causing my verification delay and what to do about it. It costs $1 but totally worth it - gave me a clear timeline and everything. https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: Go to your local IRS office in person. Sometimes they can verify you right there without the letter. Just bring multiple forms of ID.
