Reply To: Navigating IRS Verification and Letter Receipt: Share Your Experience

[Kwilson]

Hello everyone,

This forum thread is dedicated to discussing and sharing experiences related to IRS verification letters and the process of verifying oneself with the IRS. Whether you’re still waiting to be verified, have received your letter, or have successfully completed the verification process, we invite you to share your story.

Please comment below with:
– The date you filed your taxes,
– The date your filing was accepted,
– When the IRS stated they sent out the verification letter,
– Whether you’ve received the letter, including the posted date on the letter and your location,
– If you’ve verified (online or in person), and how long after verification you received your refund.

This information is incredibly valuable as it can help all of us gauge the timelines for verification and refund receipt, especially for those of us who are still waiting for our letters or refunds.

**My Experience:**
I’ll kick things off with my own experience. I filed my taxes on 01/26/2024 and was accepted on 01/29/2024. The message to verify appeared on 01/31/2024 and remained until 02/08/2024, when it changed to “return received.” It then reverted back to a verification prompt on 02/09/2024 and has stayed that way since. I reside in PA. On 02/20/2024, I logged into my IRS account and requested a new letter be sent out. I’m currently awaiting this letter. I also called the taxpayer protection line on the same day and was advised to call back on 02/26/2024 if the letter hasn’t arrived. Furthermore, I’ve scheduled an appointment for March 8th, 2024.

Your contributions can greatly assist those in similar situations by setting expectations and providing reassurance. Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping to build a supportive community here.

Praying my next update is to let you guys know i got the 811 release code and 846…. Fingers crossed but rep said 180 from the call i made today but then tells me to call back in 4 weeks no update .. that makes no sense, are you just saying 180 but yet tell me to call back in 4 weeks. She said the 180 days to verify wages but i faxed that 2/14 and also checked SS acc and all my 2023 information is there.
