      So, how many 1541ers out there still stuck in limbo? This is week 3 for me being stuck in 1541 limbo. I have no letters, no withholding, had to ID verify.

      Anyone else out there stuck in this with me?

          I filed 2/11, Updated to 1541 on 2/17. Got a TA last Friday 3/3, sent her income verification documents this past Monday 3/6. My transcripts updated this morning to having my refund issued so I should update on WMR tomorrow.

              Update that to 3/15. This past month has been a blur.

                Ok I was shocked to wake up to a DDD for 2/15. This 48 hours after being told it looks like a second return was filed in my name so it would be an additional 180 days ( it had to be my return reprocessing after it was kicked out of the system on 2/8, proving these people on the other end of the phone know nothing) and less than 24 hours after receiving a letter to ID verify ( even though I did so on 2/15 to get my return out of error dept) the IRS is doing a bang up job this year. Now to try to get my NYS refund.

                I’ll stick around and see if I can be of any help to anyone. I think I’ve encountered it all in the past month or so.

                . Did you happen to receive a letter at some point last year from the Taxpayer Prevention Unit saying that someone may have gotten access to your info? Remember the IRS had some sort of a breech. I did and did not even remember I did until I was asked during one of my calls to the IRS.

                    I woke up to my third week of the “1541” page on WMR. I called yesterday and I was given the run around once again. No rhyme or reason.

                      Thanks @stuckinlimbo. This gets even crazier. So I sit on hold for an hour. I tell the guy that I thought I did this already when it was in the errors dept. and there is not much else I can offer then except a DNA test. Luckily he was very nice and looked and said yes you did. It looks like you were sent the letter in error. That the info didn’t update before the letter. He thinks everything has been done but his system cannot see if there is a refund date. Transfers me to another line but they won’t give me any info because I have a tax advocate. ( the tax advocate that I haven’t heard from in 3 weeks and doesn’t return calls) so back to waiting I guess. I’m going to see if I can pull up the transcripts online to see if there is a code or anything else I can figure out. I can’t wait for this to be over!

                        Sharon, Sorry to hear that. I ID verified almost 3 weeks ago, still no update since then. No idea why I had to verify, nothing changed in years. Same bank account for the last 12 years, same address, same phone number for the last 3 years, Same kids for the last 4 years, same job for the last 19 years. Yet I still had to verify, and have been in 1541 limo since then. Hopefully it goes faster for you. They say 9 weeks after verifying, but that’s a worst case scenario.

                          No such luck. Now I received a letter to ID verify. This is insane!

                            Filed and accepted 2/3. Return sent to errors dept 2/8. Fixed 2/15. Not able to order either transcript until an hour ago. I was just able to order both account and return transcripts by mail, but I will try to get them online when I get home. I am praying this means something good.

                              I’m in the same boat.
                              Filed/accepted 02/10 with TT.
                              Claimed EITC/ACTC, received “take action” notice (1541) on 02/17.
                              Spoke with IRS agent about a week ago, and she said everything was fine and there was a post dated letter coming to me.. still nothing. But she also stated I should be updated by 02/17…
                              Extremely fustrated, hopefully we will get updated soon….

                                I’m still in limbo too…Verified ID on 2/27/17 and received the reference number 1541 on 3/4/17, called 3/6/17 and IRS agent told me that everything seemed fine based off of the ID verification but it would be another 9 weeks so May 8th and if I don’t receive a letter by that date, to call back but not before then…Sigh…I just hope and pray for the best…I did have some changes from the year before due to a divorce, so I moved and no longer had my husband on my return and with a new address…Fingers crossed and praying hard!!
