Filed/Accepted: 1/26
Verification notice date: NEVER
Letter received: 02/15
Letter dated: 02/02
What changed: I used a different tax prep program, had a new W2.
Purpose of this message: Information and Complaint lol

Finally got the stupid letter. It’s dated 02/02 but none of the reps I talked to could ever tell me when or if it was sent out. Nor did my IRS account ever say I had a notice mailed. There was no indication I needed to verify on WMR, and I only found out about the hold up because I logged into my IRS account and saw the notification.

I already completed the verification online last night but based on the many reports of others who verified online only to have it not register, I will also be calling the verification helpline on Tuesday to complete over the phone. I did get the “Verification Complete – processing may take up to 9 weeks” message. Still don’t trust it.

With any luck I hope I’m one of those people whose refund is released a few days after the verification is complete. Good luck to everyone in the same boat.

The lack of notification and information about this process sucks. When I called the reps all said I could wait as long as 21 days for the letter to be mailed out. And that if it didn’t come it could be another 21 days for the next letter. After that, I would then be eligible to verify in person. So glad this thing finally came. Ugh.

Lmao @ like normal people. I usually do sleep at night but sometimes I don’t need to get up very early so I hang out. In other news I just got my refund deposit a few minutes ago, so the 3/9 was not accurate for me at all. Good luck!!
