Call the phone number that’s on the letter 5071. When you pass, they’ll immediately release your return for processing. If you do it online, there may be more of a delay. Plus you have to jump through hoops to set up the account.
Yes, the next letter will come with a code to allow you to complete your account. But I still recommend calling to verify.
Well I can’t use my phone number for some reason, is there a work around? I did order a letter for my transcript to access them is that the same thing? More info a a direction would be helpful, they won’t release my refund or

You’ll need a code from the letter, personal information, and information from your 2020 and 2019 returns/w2s.
