Reply To: Still have not received verifying letter….

[Still Waiting]

My return was accepted on 2/4 and I started to get worried when towards the end of February, I hadn’t received my refund yet. I am PATH but have always got it around 2/21. Then I started reading about the new verifying letter and after calling the IRS on 2/25, realized that my return is one that they’re holding until it’s verified. I had not received any letters prior to me calling on 2/25 and the agent I talked to said it would be mailed that day. It is now March 7th and I still haven’t received anything. WMR still shows processing with no bars and my transcripts are not available, so nothing has changed. How long after requesting the letter from the IRS to be able to verify you return, did you get it? I don’t want to call back if I don’t have to so I thought I would check here first.

Thank you!!

I just called again this afternoon, to see if they could tell me anymore. The lady I talked to this time said that it could take up to 13 days after requesting the letter, for you to receive it. So they cannot put another request in to have it re-mailed, until after 13 calendar days pass. So she said if I do not receive mine by Monday, March 13th, to call again and they will request another one. I just hope I receive it before then as if I didn’t get the first two, why would I get the third?
