      I had to id verify today and the lady was really really nice. She told me after I verified that I past the verification and she was removing the hold on my refund and that it can take up to 9 weeks for me to get a refund or letter. I asked her does this mean I am back in processing she said yes. Anyone who has id verified were you told the same info? I dont know what to believe anymore when it comes to the IRS. To top it off the lady told me this is what I am supposed to tell you..so she was going with the script the IRS tells her to say….smh. 9 weeks is a long time.

          @patti all you have to do is call that number given to you to verify you id. same thing happened to me. call the number, the lady will ask you some questions about u only u should know, once you answer them correctly she will take the hold off your refund. the whole thing is for your protection as well as their protection because its allot of frauds out there thats stealing peoples information to get their money. they want to make sure their giving it to the right person. once i verified, not even a week later i had a ddd. trust me its simple and fast. just call them and verify, you’ll have your refund in about a week. i promise

            I my refund was processed through Turbo Tax April 12, 2016. I received a text that is was approved the same day. I received my state with no problem. I finally received a letter to call them. I was told I needed to verify my ID, and then they could not approve it because I had moved (bought a house) and filed jointly last year and single this year (divorce- no name change). When I go to verify my refund it tells me processing, with no estimated date. When I call it does the same thing. When I try to very my ID again on line, it says I cannot do this on line and need to call. Help! It is the end of July!

              Being able to order your account and return transcript does NOT mean you will receive anything soon. That is not true I was able to order and revieved mine over 2 weeks ago- mine still says processing and a date will be provided. I filed early February. Verified early March- called back to find out if verified passed but they forgot to close the account- she closed it for me on April 4th and said it could take up to 9 weeks- the only code on my transcript I was worried about was the 570 so called again today and she informed me that everything was fine and it should change and my return should be here within the 9 weeks- it’s been 16 days since the id verify has been closed and I still have no updates…

                  This is Crazy!!!!

                  1/20 – Filed
                  2/10 – WMR (expected refund date)
                  2/15 (called IRS was told I have to wait 21 days)
                  2/19 recieved a letter basically stating your return is being processed there is nothing you need to do we will contact you or you will revieve a refund when we are done. (no number nothing)
                  2/22 Called No information giving just still processing told to call back in 14 business days
                  3/14 called and again told to call back after the March 22.

                  In the mean time did some research on whats going on found other going through the same thing and a few corners to cut that may help. I went to idverify.irs.gov stated you do not have to verify your identity at this time and

                  Also the Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (TPG) https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/ TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
                  It stated “Your expected IRS funding date of 2/10/2016 has passed, and the IRS has delayed the processing of your tax return. Check the status of your refund by calling the IRS at 800.829.1040. If we receive your refund, it will be processed according to your original instructions.”

                  The Treasury Offset Program at (800) 304-3107 to see if all or some of your refund is being collected through them. NONE

                  Still no letter in mail noting!

                  Today 4/5 I called and was told that I had to go in to verify my identity was giving the number 1-844-545-5640 and there is no available appointment with in 10 miles until May 29th 2016.

                  While on hold I went back to the Idverify website and was able to verify BUT STILL set the appointment just in case that does not work. This is frustrating and unfair on account of their systems kicking most of our filings out due to their error it has to be a better way!

                    I’ve been waiting since Feb 24th… The lady on the phone told me the website should be updated in 2 weeks and to wait 6-9 weeks for my refund…The website, till today…still says Your tax return is still being processed.

                    This is really annoying. No update or anything…Any suggestions?

Went to IRS office on 2/16 to verify. Was told 9 weeks to wait. Called several times since and I keep being told everything seems fine, I just need to wait. Its 3/4 and Im still processing. So frustrating!

                                  Expected DDD 2/10/16

                                  I filed and was accepted as stated above. After my 21 days i called irs said i needed to verify my id and they gave me the number. Called and couldnt get through due to high call vloume soo i called about 6:59 pm and finally got through still had 90 minute hold. Verified id and was told return was put back into processing. After reading others say they had issues with their verification being processed and not getting any updates on WMR, i called the verification line again. Told me i shouldnt have called bc it could take up to 9 weeks for return to go thru but she would check on it anyway. She tells me it shows my id had been verified but the representative didnt put my return back into processing. She was doing it then and was glad i called instead of waiting 9 weeks and would be upset if she was in my position. then says they only have to tell us 9 week wait but it more than likely be a 1-2 week wait. Stay on them and dont give up. I still havent gotten my return after filing in mid january but i do have more hope for a deposit next week. Good Luck everyone

                                    I had to go into an IRS office because I could not be verified via telephone…. I was told I would get my refund in 6 weeks or less; she told me that many times after the verify, as long as there isn’t another issue, you will get a DDD at the next update after the verify was completed and summited.

                                      Same here. I had verified on 2/19 and was told it will take 3 to 4 weeks. I still have the refund is still processing on their site along with tax topic 152. I was able to order return transcripts today but was told just 20 minutes ago that I am still processing. I don’t know what to think anymore.

                                        I verified identity on 2-19-16 passed and was told to wait 9 weeks but when I checked WMR got no information could be provided tax topic 152 reference 9001 when calling. Should I be worried?

                                            So frustrated! Uggh! I’ve never had to ID verify before. I filed on 2/2/16 excepted same day. Received a letter on 2/22/16 stating I had to ID verify. I tried the website said my identity could not be verified online so I called every hour on 2/22/16 and could not get through. I went down to the local IRS office on 2/23/16 but there was a 5 hour wait. Same day I called back to back and finally got through. ID verified 2/23/16 the lady told me they say 9 weeks but I’m sure it will be sooner told me more like 1 to 2 weeks. I’ve never had bars which is strange and now my status says received return and is being processed when before it always just said Still being processed. Idk this is ridiculous! Still no DDD hopefulling next week.

                                              I called them on 2/16. They gave me a 1800 number to call and I was told that I need to verify my identity. They asked me few questions over the phone and the lady told me that my identity has been verified. And I was told that it would take upto 9 weeks before I can receive my refund.

                                              On 2/19 my refund was approved and was sent to my bank account. It got reflected on my account on 2/24

                                                  fed up
                                                  I filed on 1/27 and was accepted within an hour. My bars disappeared and i got tax codes 152 and 9001. I was patient till the 10th when i should of received refund. Called and ID verified and also got a TA that day who gave me a case number. I was told the same ole Bs everyone else is getting.

                                                  TA called me on the 17th and hinted that i may have a return this week or at least a DDD. I was able to order return trans. on the 19th. The account trans the week before and she was surprised on the account order. so then why would she hint i may be near the end of waiting? she had me fax in my hardship proof by the 19th. she didnt ask for anything else.

                                                  Got the account transcript and it reads no return filed!!!

                                                  TA- called me today and said that now i was on hold for income verification and that filing early had caused my return to go through before the employer verification arrived at the IRS therefore my return was put in limbo. I suspect this has happened to alot of january filers. She said my income ver. had been sitting with the IRS since 2/11 and ive just been sitting on hold . she sent request over today to have it released and said they have 72 hours to work my return and she will call me on the 3/2. and then will call me again on 3/ 9! when i should have my refund. UGH.

                                                  She also said that if i hadnt been proactive it may have been months and months before i had seen a refund. I ve been stalking here and i just wanted to add my story , maybe it will help someone that needs their return like i do.

                                                          Lost bars on WMR on the 30th and received a letter on the 16th to verify my identity. Called and verified my identity on the 17th and I’m still without bars. I was able to order both transcripts last Friday so I’m hoping to get a DDD soon .I called IRS today and the agent said everything was fine and its looking like 10 or so days after you verify you should receive your DDD. I’m patiently waiting though

                                                              Called 2/10 and was told to verify
                                                              Called 2/10 and verified over the phone (they asked questions from my credit report)
                                                              I was told to wait 9 weeks but maybe call in 4
                                                              Received DDD of 2/24 on 2/19 and WMR had 2 bars
                                                              SBTPG showed it received the money on 2/22
                                                              US Bank posted the money early morning 2/14

                                                              I had moved, got divorced, and went back to school since last year.
                                                              I only verified ID once after 21 days. I’ve read MANY people having trouble verifying ID before their 21 days.

                                                              Cya next year everyone!

I went on the website and entered all of my information in. After clicking submit, it told me that I needed to call because it can’t verify me. I have been “non-stop” calling and EVERY TIME I get “Our hotlines are at high volume, call again later.” As if it’s not already inconvenient that we get our returns late (single parents ESPECIALLY!) I mean, it’s our money in the first place. I work hard all year to get this. But, anyways…. ON TOP OF GETTING RETURNS LATE, THEY CAN’T EVEN MAKE IT EASY TO ID VERIFY. Why does everything, involving the government, cause so many problems?!

Was told It would take 9 weeks for refund. I called again 02/19/16 just to be certain it was OK. Was told all was as it should be, and was being processed. I’ve heard of others getting refund via Direct Deposit, back by now, that have filed and verified on almost, or similar dates as myself. Hoping it will post in my account very soon, it’s just ridiculous. I also called on a Tax Advocate, and she was a bit snippy..said “whatever IRS says, that’s what I must accept”. All this makes everyone so mad, myself included. The IRS software apparently throws too many false positives, and causes many returns to be flagged for ID Verification, that otherwise, would not be suspect. So it is a wait and see game for many of us. So 35 days and counting for me.

                                                                            • #4143400

Yesterday, I received the letter from the IRS saying that I needed to verify my ID. The letter was dated 2/18. I called again and was told that I do not need to verify my ID again. Once they do it over the phone then I didn’t need to do anything else. Hopefully this will be over soon because I am tired of this.

                                                                                As for the questions that they had asked me, well, I was asked if I had efile last year and then a couple of questions that are based on my credit report such as with whom do I have my car loan and student loan through.

                                                                                Word of advice, if you can’t get through the number to call to verify your ID then just keep hitting the redial button. I couldn’t get through at first but hung up and hit the redial button and I got through. It seems to work that way.

                                                                              • #4143399

I have not gotten any codes up until this point indicating that I needed to call about any issues. Called 800-829-0582 x652 just now. The lady I spoke with was super helpful. She said since I had been on hold for so long & that since I was only 2 days away from my 21 day mark she’d go ahead & pull up my account. She told me that I did in fact have to ID Verify & gave me the # to call. She said that @ some point this week I should have seen an update with the 4 digit code to call to verify.

                                                                                  So I’ve been calling this 800-830-5084 for the last 30 minutes. It keeps telling me that due to high call volume my call can not be completed @ this time. Anybody else having this issue? Seems like I saw on a post somewhere that some people were about to ID Verify online. Is this an option?

Called on the 8th to verify ID, everything went through I passed. Called at least 4 times during 2 weeks window and was told that it was still processing. No change for 2 weeks. Yesterday I get a letter in the mail which is dated February 18 to ID verify online…Verified yesterday again….Thursday I am going to TA office to clear this up….Did anyone cad the same issue???

Received transcript already but still no ddd. Called and was told there is a freeze on my refund. I lost my bars on wmr on 2/2 and have had the same message since then and no bars. Message is return still being processed. A refund date will beb provided when available and had topic 152. The agent I spoke with couldn’t tell me why there was a freeze on my refund just that it could be several weeks til it is released

I was told by a rep at the irs that inched closed it is finished. And you should be receiving your refund soon. I was told mine was closed on 2/19 and I have a DDD for 2/24 and its at SBTPG now. So good thing I hope and I hope this helps.

Called and asked if I needed to verify a week ago since I went through this LAST year, was told it was pulled for review. Called Friday, (20 days, how sneaky of me) and the lady was super pissy and gave me the 21 days speech. God forbid they tell you anything a day early when the IRS is closed on day 21 :/ Anyways FINALLY got through today and the girl told me I did indeed need to ID verify, surprise surprise since I did last year also for the same reason.
                                                                                                                Verified ID today, man I spoke with was very nice and told me to expect to ID verify next year also because of a fraud indicator on my account because of a security breach with a previous employer. He said allow up to 9 weeks, but he heard it hasn’t been taking anywhere near 9 weeks after the verification is done. Hopefully this guy was right!

Verified my id on 2/9 and was able to order return transcript on 2/12, which from my understanding means my refund was processed. However I still have tax topic 152 reference number 9001. Has this has happened to anyone else? Has anyone been able to order 2015 return transcript and not received DDD?

Saturday morning had to be the day your transcript was available to order and you didn’t know it until today. its no way possible this morning could of been the day it was made available, they don’t update on Sundays. they have to be in the office the day before in order to send a hard update. the 24th is on Wednesday, i doubt you’ll be on that cycle because i don’t think i seen yet where they give a ddd 2 days before the ddd. im curious to find out tho, and i hope you prove me wrong with a update. if im right, then you’ll catch the next ride after the 24th. whatever date that will be

I’m hoping to wake up to a DDD of 2/24… Please!!!!!!! By the way, I never received a letter but from what I gathered reading everyone’s posts, you can’t order transcripts unless everything has been finalized and the money is being released. If I’m wrong, will someone please tell me? If hate to get my hopes up for no reason!

Waited, called bank, called hr block, nothing. 21 days came and went. Called IRS on 2/16. Was told I would receive a letter in the mail or my refund within 60 days because my taxes were pulled for review. No letter ever came. I called IRS again on 2/19 to check status. No letter had been mailed yet. The young lady I spoke to called me back 15 minutes later and told me I needed to verify my ID. Gave me a number to call. I called and after trying 7 times got thru, then held for an hour. Was not able to verify my id on the phone. Guess I couldn’t remember a phone number from 9 years ago! Went on ID verify and successfully verified my ID. Now hoping and praying I get a new DDD soon because I need a car!!!!!!!!

I verified my ID on 2/12(roughly), so looking at only a few weeks, not the 9 weeks they seem to tell you once you verify your ID, unless there is more to it. I’m obviously just going based on what it seems everyone else is saying, plus my own experience.

I called the IRS to check on my refund since it was 21 days. I had to verify my identity (after calling for hours straight trying to get threw) the lady I spoke to said up to 9 weeks. But as I’m reading threw these after people verified there ID it looks like 3 days and people are getting a DDD. Hoping I get mine soon!

I also verified before my 21 days was up over the phone, next year I will do the same, but I’ll trying calling if it’s been over 2 weeks, that way I do actually get my refund in 21 days.

Yay! Even though they told me 9 weeks! It’s almost over good luck to everyone!!!

Thank you to everyone who posted your experiences. Reading that others were dealing with the same issues kept me sane. To those who haven’t received their refund, it’s coming. To those who are being told lies by the IRS keep calling but remember to try to be calm and nice and you’ll get the same in return. Good luck everyone.

Fast forward three weeks I lost my bars but I still had Topic 152. I called ID verify because I figured it was past my 21 days but come to find out I wasn’t accepted until 1/22. The agent that helped me was very nice and told me I had a hold on my account and that I was going to have to verify my ID. I answered a couple of questions and I was told I would have it within 9 weeks. Earlier tonight I tried to order my return transcript and it went through. About 10 mins ago I checked WMR and I have a DDD of 2/24. Finally my money is on its way.
                                                                                                                                                                    Oh and I verified my ID on 2/10. Just a couple days shy of my 21 days.
                                                                                                                                                                    Good luck to those waiting. I was dreading that nine week wait but it’s finally here.

Long story short IRS directed me to call ID verify again because the first time they verify my ID it had not been 21 days. So I called today provide my information and the first thing the lady tells me is that she does not see anything in the system. I was livid because this has been an ongoing situation and I knew she had not even pulled up my account. So after about eight minutes of me ranting she decides to pull up the account lo and behold she needed to verify my ID !! I just don’t get it, why do they lie to us!? It’s my refund that is owed to me I’m not asking them to do me any favors so I just don’t get why they don’t just do their damn job. All the different things I read on this website plus the interaction I had today lets me know that they just say whatever they want to whomever they want. Anyway she gave me the nine week speech so now I’m just waiting …

                                                                                                                                                                              i verified my id on the 16th of feb over the phone. at 6am this morning, which is feb 18th i was able to finally order my return transcript. about 4 hours later while at work i get a unknown call from my tax advocate. she told me after looking at my file again this morning they are done processing it. she said it says my ddd is weds the 24th. she said they wont be updating the next cycle on the irs gov site until tomorrow morning, so i wont see it until then. so to all of you that were able to finally order your return transcript this morning like me, that means your on the next cycle and its done processing. and lesson learned, dont ever, ever, ever, ever verify online before your 21 days is up. i verified online 2 weeks before my 21 days was up. passed and all, but never saw a change for 2 weeks after i verified. i kept saying to my self something aint right, because i saw people who verified after me over the phone get ddd’s 4 and 5 days later. im like no way is that possible. so im sitting up waiting for something that was never coming for 2 whole weeks. 2 weeks after i verified i got a letter from the irs saying i had to verify my id, and if i didnt they was not going to release my refund. the letter was dated a week after i verified. thats when i knew i had to do something, cause it just didnt seem right. i called and they told me my review case was still open. she said for me to have verified and 2 weeks gone by it should of been closed by now. so i was like hell naw lol, i need a tax advocate right now. she requested me one, my advocate contacted me a week later. the day before she contacted me i verified over the phone to the protection hot line. 2 days later i was able to order my return transcript, then hours later she called me and said my return was scheduled to be direct deposited in my account weds feb 24th.

                                                                                                                                                                                Called last night and was informed that I needed to verify my ID since it had been 21 days.

                                                                                                                                                                                Verified my ID first thing this morning since it was so close to 7pm last night when I found out I had to verify my ID. Passed with flying colors. The guy told me it will be 3 to 4 weeks, which is weird since I am reading posts from people who were told 9 weeks.

What does this mean I wonder

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  (The ID issue is fixed, anyway…as I have seen some clear up ID flag and return flagged again when put back in processing…this is very rare, tho, I think…only 2 occurrences about which I read).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I opted to verify again with her, she closed and sent return on its merry way (((SO, YES, CALL NUMBER ON THAT LETTER EVEN IF YOU VERIFIED ONLINE)))!!!!!!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  However, status on WMR has not changed, still has no info available, no bars, tt 152 ref code 9001 (refund amount and all on the left side is and has been the same entire time)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I now do not know what to think! Return transcript means your stuff is done, but why is my WMR status not gone back to processing message??? I am hopeful I get a DDD in morning tomorrow (I’m a weekly) but message on WMR not changing has me worried even though I can do return transcript…..ANYONE ELSE LIKE ME OR HAVE ANY IDEA??

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Good luck to us all, hopefully this will be over for us very soon. I will not believe anything until I am actually purchasing something with the card my funds are to be deposited on.

So, that means my return is completed and I am guessing I will see movement tomorrow morning and hopefully a DDD for next week.

I had called twice asking them if I needed to since I had to verify my ID with the state of Ohio 2 years in a row, and each time I was told no but that there was error message from 1/28 but they didn’t know what it was and that a letter was sent to me then. Well, no letter was ever received.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      So today was the 21st day and when I called the nice lady told me that it needed to be verified and gave me the phone number to get it verified. The only problem is I can’t find my tax return from last year because she said I may need it. The lady told me she would make a note on their end and send me another copy, but since I am in a payment plan for back taxes that it should be ok because I get the letters. I don’t know about that but I will find out. I just don’t understand why they simply couldn’t tell me that I needed to verify my identity when I called previously out of concern.

I chose to verify online as soon as the call was done. I verified and got the congratulations message and read that it would take 6-8 wks. I called them right back to see if they saw it in the system and was told to call back in about two days to see if it updated. So, from then until now i was no longer able to get through. I had been consistently checking WMR seeing the same generic message with no update. I continued checking this thread to get more ideas on what to do based on what others were doing. I was able to order an account transcript but still not the return transcript. I was afraid that my verification never went through so i went online and tried to redo it but it wouldnt let me so I called the TPA about two hours ago to see what they could tell me. They said that the initial verification that i submitted online (way before i even got a letter mailed) did in fact go through and that everything was looking good im just in the waiting process. They said that if there is a financial hardship and i need the money before 9 weeks that they could assist me so i went ahead with it. Not sure if they can speed it up or not, but we shall see…I will update here as soon as anything changes. Thanks to everyone that has been sharing because it helps…hopefully i have helped someone.

Person was very aggressive. Very rude. When asking questions he didn’t want me to stutter. I’ve never done this, so, I guess I’m mumbling to my self in Spanish. He said I had someone there with me, I said I’m just thinking, he said if he talking english why I’m taking Spanish. Said I have to go in person to verify. Hung up on me. What do I ake to them?…..my tax person been ignoring me last 2 weeks. Very worried.

I called to verify today 2/17. A representative told me that everything was okay. She stated that if I have not received a letter by April 20th to call back, and I guess that’s another 9 weeks. I have never had this happen. The is straight BS!!! Some are the representatives can come off very rude. I am so upset with the IRS ughhhhhh

I verified today with that 800.830.5084 number and now we wait. This is what I will say for people who are unaware of the process of verifying online vs live person.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The way to verify online is if you recieved a letter. If you verify without recieving a letter, yiur verifucation will not go through even if it says Congratulations at the end, trust me. You ha e to call the 800 number. Also, the 800 number may say * sorry, due to high volume calls we are not taking calls…* hang up call bk to bk to bk. I called three times in a row and finally got thru. The lines are tied but keep calling aggressively. Once u get through, I waited 45 min. Be ready to answer questions from 15 yrs ago bc the questions are random and honestly a bit…. forgetful. So..be ready. Once you pass they will let you know the ridiculous wait of 9 wks which isnt true but its the process.

He also said that 9 weeks is the time frame they tell everyone he said some have gotten it within days of verification some within weeks, I guess it just depends on how quickly they are working through them..

So I called a tax advocate who expressed that I needed to go verify in person at the local irs office.

NO CHANGE, nothing in bank, WMR is a bust, and still can’t order return transcript but I was able to order account transcript on 2/5. Waiting game is going to give me grey hair.

Maybe this means things are moving?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                If you can order your return transcriptsit means your refund has been processed. It literally what the return transcript is. A record of what happened during the process of your refund. Account transcript is just your tax payer profile in carbon copy. You want to be able to order that return transcript then you know your money is on its way:) I am getting the same message so it’s simply means my return isn’t finished being processed yet even though I was able to order my account tranny.

If you can order either then ur good, its just a waiting game now….

But they did send a letter out on the 10th as well hopefully that was before I verified because why would they let me do so by phone

I filed 01/19. Lost bars AND tax topic on 01/30. No codes either. Did ID verify myself because it happened to me last year. Did that on 02/04. Got a letter today stating to verify dated on 02/10. I tried to redo it online and it won’t let me which leads me to believe it in fact went through. I refuse to call because they do nothing but piss me off. So I know for a fact I’m a weekly cycle of 05 so praying I get an update this Sat.

Was unable to get through via phone all day bc they were not accepting calls due to high vol (bullshyt).

Tomorrow I am calling the irs again to verify they got the verification and the hold is removed. I used H&R so those that used TT its really no diff. I would advise to those who filed at least two wks ago and have not recieved a letter or DDD to verify anyway dont wait 21 days. Also talk nice even if u have smoke coming from your ears bc it helps.

You do not need the letter to call. The verif id just asks basic stuff that u would know.

Good luck to all of us in this 9001 hell !!!

I called before the 21st day to see why the wheres my refund site only showed a topic 152 notice, and all she said was that they couldn’t give me any information until it had been at least 21 days. My ex has a clearance and without my permission gave his clearance auditor my information, which I received a letter was hacked and could be used fraudulently. Now I called IRS today and was told i need to verify my identity I assume this is why. I went online to try to verify was asked questions about myself which I know the answers to, but apparently got wrong!!! so it locked me out. I called the number and their system is down so they cant verify me right now. This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!! And now even after I am finally able to verify i have to wait an additional 6-9 weeks to receive the refund. I was told that people are picked at random for identity verification, but it seems to me like a load of bull as so many other people are having this same problem. And their system is always “down” sounds to me like they dont know what the heck they are doing and hide behind ignorance, and codes. Also sounds like they are being hacked and dont want the public to know.

Who knows but I have been trying to do things on thief website and it’s telling me technical issues.

I had one bar till 01/29.

Called 02/02 spoke to a really nice gentleman who verified me and released my return who said it would take up to 9 weeks. I also got a tax payer advocate involved. I spoke to the TPA Friday 02/05, she did tell me that she saw that it was verified and released 02/02 and to give it a couple of weeks. She also pointed out that the ref# codes on my transcript show her that is its processing. The TPA stated that it does not take 9 weeks they just have to tell you that. I check the WMR website every morning but still no change. My TPA said I should have an update after 2 weeks. She’s going to call me back 02/17. I’ll keep you all dated.

Yet im still waiting for wmr to update. It says the same nonsense. Finally got my letter 2/13/16 which was dated the tenth so i re-verified on 2/13 online and still nothing can’t even order transcripts. It’s hard not to get mad watching people who filed and verified after me get their refunds.

But they told me I didn’t need to verify my ID and that i should receive my refund by March 28th. Not being satisfied with the that answer I called the IRS 2/13 and spoke with a very nice gentleman and he informed me that I needed to verify my ID again and gave me the number. After calling the number he provided me with I spoke to another very helpful woman that asked me some questions and I passed and she told me it could take 6-8 weeks But from what I am seeing people are receiving DDD a week to 10 days later so fingers crossed

So she finally viewed my account saying I had to wait 9 weeks and that I verified successfully. So I decided to contact a tax advocate since things did not seem right. The tax advocate advised me to ID verify before I would be considered for help. I advised her that I had done so a few days prior. She reviewed my account and said I needed to go to the local IRS office to verify. Called the local office to see what the hours of operation were and received a pre-recorded message stating that I had to setup an appointment to verify my identity.

He said I had to wait for the letter because the online version would ask me something specific to that letter.

It asked a few questions about my past info (address, registered vehicles) and a dollar amount from the current tax paperwork.

It just asked me a few questions about my past information on my returns (verify an address I’ve lived at previously, name a car that I had previously registered, a number from my 2015 tax form I submitted this year)

Does anyone know what kind of questions they ask? Are they pretty basic or should you have your taxes from 14 and 15 with you when you call? Also, w-2″s?

Completed the verification and said that he was releasing the hold on my return and that it would be up to 9 weeks (April 13) before I would receive a letter or my refund. I called the tax advocate office they said it could be up to June 5 before I see a refund if they cannot help. From what I read this is because many, if not all, of us self-prepared our taxes. Lesson learned. I will let my credit union prepare my taxes next year. To say I need this money is an understatement.

Passed that & was told the “wait 9 weeks” bull crap. Was able to order both acct & return transcripts on 2/13 but MY bars are STILL missing hopefully tomorrow morning I hear something if not I’m calling an advocate this is all nonsense seriously. ALL these years I’ve never had a problem.

I didn’t download the WMR nor did I ever check the status because for the last two years it has not been accurate. However, I based my dates on the 21 days from acceptance. When my refund did not show in my bank on the 21st day, I contacted the IRS. I was told that I needed ID verify. I called and the first lady I talked to said I was not able to do it online or over the phone I had to go into a local office(this was Tuesday the 9th). So on Thursday the 11th I was able to get off a little early and went into the office. When I got there the representative told me that I would have to wait until I actually got a letter and to bring it with me. So on my hour drive home I called the ID verification number again and they were able to do the verification over the phone. Of course, now I had questions. I asked about how long would the hold up be and I was told 9 weeks but generally 2 to 4 weeks. I asked why was I chosen, the representative informed me that the IRS had been hacked a month ago and those who were affected by the hack (in other words those whose information was compromised ) were asked to ID verify. She also informed me that one of two things could happen. Either I would get another letter in the mail asking me to bring in my W2s or the refund would get accepted and I would recieve it. She also informed me that the IRS would send a letter if I was compromised.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Yesterday the 13th, I recieved two letters, one asking me to ID verify (done), one telling me my information has been compromised during the hack. I plan to follow up Tuesday.

I had to call today as it’s my 21st day. Accepted on the 23rd and found out today I had to ID verify, called the number answered all questions and the hold was taken off. I called the IRS back after the lady told me the hold was off and it should be 9 weeks, the man I spoke to at the IRS did see the hold had been taken off so she did it correctly now just the waiting game hopefully it will only take about 10 days that’s what I’ve been seeing on quite a few different searches.

Unfortunately I am still on that message we received your return and are processing it. I was able to order return transcript yesterday but I did not get an update… (bangs head on wall). Hopefully WMR still hasnt finished updating.

It’s like you have a DDD.. They can’t take it back now.. Or can they ?.. No that’s crazy.. Or is it??.. I should screen cap it.. How would that help?.. I think the nightmare of last year and it started this year has officially cracked me.. I’ll forever be slightly crazier..

Was told to do an income verification. I just got finished. She said 9 weeks. I was hoping for a DDD tomorrow. But if you were able to order transcripts you should update tonight during the big update. I wish if I would have known sooner. I never lost any bars still 152 and 21 days. Blah. This sucks. I have a car needing inspected and my vacation next month.

I verified 2/10 and passed and the lady I talked to today said as soon as you are able to order transcripts then a day or two should have a DDD. Good luck

On 2/2 I lost my bars. Called the IRS on 2/9 and was told I had to verify my identity. I did and I passed. Then today, 2/12, I was finally able to order my transcript

Bars disappeared 2/8 with tax topic 152. Spoke to my tax preparer yesterday and she assured me all was good and it’s a waiting game. Did some research and decided on my own to go online and verify my id. It was successful and the message said 6 weeks. I’m hoping it doesn’t take that long. Has anyone had this experience before and actually received their return in a week or so?

I verified my identity on Tuesday and I am finally able to request a return transcript. From everything I have read being able to print a return transcript means they have signed off on your return and that you should have your money in the next round of DD. If so then it looks like they can get a ID verification done in a week. I will post once I have my cash.

Because I was supposed to get mine too but I just spoke with the IRS and she says they do not have any ddd in the system for me yet. My return is still being reviewed. So now I’m confused, WMR says money sent. She specifically told me it hasn’t been sent yet. I’m pissed right now. I was told to call if I don’t get it within 9 weeks. WMR is fraudulent

I got my taxes last year on the 13th hopefully this year too another thing my cousin verified last Friday or Thursday and got an Ddd 2/10

Bars and tax topic missing on 2/6. I don’t message on here but I read through a lot of the post. I read where someone went to the verify website and input their info, so after not getting a return transcript today I did it and it successfully went through. It wouldn’t allow you to unless it is needed by the irs. I tried my significant other’s info and it wouldn’t allow it. I was able to get my account transfer on 2/5. It told me to allow six weeks but everyone else is saying it told them 9 weeks. I wish I have known when my bars became missing. I never talked to a irs rep. but will today to let them know that I did do it. I am a 05er so maybe they will put my bars back today lol.

I called to see if there was anything else holding my return. The irs rep said no, and that it could take anywhere up to 9 weeks from 2/2. She said some people get it in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, that everyone is different. I think it’s all bull$hit..if you do an identity verification you should get yours faster than someone who filed and didn’t do the verification. Makes no damn sense

I filed 1/25 my progress bars disappeared 2/2 had tax code 152… did the verification thing yesterday 2/9/16 told me she would put it back in processing mode and I had to wait the 9 weeks.. I hope not :( I really needed that money so me and my kids can finally get out of my moms house and we can get a decent vehicle that works. And pay off bills :/

I felt anxious so I called they then told me after 40 mins on hold to verify and told me to call another number. I did and the lady I spoke with was super nice once she verified it was me. She then told me the same. I passed and should receive a letter or refund by 9 weeks. I thought that is a long time but I have seen people said they received their within a week so I’m not so disappointed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I tried going to idverify.irs.gov and it cannot verify her online using any address in any way that we have ever lived at. But i can order account transcripts under that old address, but when i call the IRS they have my new address on file.. Can anyone gimme a lil help here?

Why are there so many people who have identity verification problems this year? My address, dependent and job have been the same for years. I call bull$hit on them.

Now I should’ve already got my refund had I not been id verified..and it’s been a week since verification. I keep checking to see if I can get a return transcript..nothing changing. I’m curious if anyone else that has been if verified has got a DDD yet? I mean, if I was put back into the processing, shouldn’t I have at least a DDD a week later?

Iwas like oh hell no so I called the Identity theft line by mistake and they gave me the ID verify line and that is when the lady told me ok lets do it. I cannot stress enough how polite she was and when we finished she said well what counts is that you passed so your good to go. I was relieved!! imagine if I waited for some dumb letter….lol never again am I filing early.

I didn’t even have a code. I found out bc today was my 21 days and I called to c wth was going on. First lady I talked to on the verification line told me I had to wait till tomorrow so I called back and the second lady did the id verification for me. They’re a joke

The IRS agent I talked to today said it was just a security measure so I asked if nothing was wrong my account why do I have to even wait up to 9 wks. Like the person told u thats what they have to say and they know we want our money but we just have to wait.

He said initially the thing was ppl had to wait 180 days minimum before. Depends on if you had a Schedule C as well.

He told me next yr I shouldnt have this problem.

My up to 9 weeks started from the day I was cleared which was 2/4 not when I filed 1/21. All he would tell me is that it can take up to 9 weeks and that whoever got flag with the 9001 code it’s going to be flagged for the next 3 years. Everyone who got the 9001 code was flagged 1/30 for identity theft or any other issue with their/family members identity. I really hope it doesn’t take 9 weeks. Some of us already got their money.
