Can anyone outline what happened after ID Verify?
1. When did WMR update?
2. When was your DDD?

Update on last post:
After waiting ten and a half weeks from the date I went to my local IRS office to verify my identity I called the IRS to find out what’s going on. After waiting on hold for thirty plus minutes I connected to someone and after explaining my concern and issue I was again put on hold for ten mins to then be transferred to a different department to explain everything again. At this point I was put on hold again. When he came back on he then explained that my local IRS office did something wrong and instead of sending in to be processed they “put it in archives” Long story short the nine weeks I just waited for my return started again. The US government never ceases to amaze. -
Hey! There is hope! I checked the IRS site, like I have since April, and about fell out of my chair! Said it was approved and the deposit will be 11/21.
Just took only 9 months since I E-filed. LOL -
Not exactly sure the dates of filing or verifying but was told from the IRS office when verifying ID that it’ll be no longer than first week of Nov. Well it’s now the second week of Nov and not even an update on track my refund. SMH. I stand in awe of our federal government yet again. I am going to call the IRS now and I’ll update this post when I’m done.

Still waiting after almostr 7 weeks for my refund. I verified my identity and now just waiting. Same info is under WHERES MY REFUND. Is there somewhere else I can go to check on my refund?

Filed 9/27 had to wait to clear a small offset
Got 4883c letter 10/21 verified 10/23 today. The hold was two minutes I called 7 am sharp. It’s also September so there’s that. Told 9 weeks but hopeful for a DDD in the next couple of days since reading back to the folks dealing with all this during tax season. I’ll keep this thread updated for next tax season -
Completed ID verify over 2 weeks ago and not seeing any kind of update. What is the normal time frame to receive refund?
-
UNREAL! Called just a little while ago. Filed 2/6 through Taxact, got the letter and called back to ID Verify on 3/14. Didn’t get my return so I called on 7/30 and they said everything looked fine and gave me a no later date of 9/20. Called today and they said there was “a glitch” so I had to ID Verify again. Said it was all good now and it could take up to 9 weeks. SMH

*Still waiting 😩 On my fourth 60 day hold notice.. Unbelievable.
-
i recived one of my refunds by mail from 2016 but still waiting on this years is it a good sign that i have one of them
-
I received a letter which I thought was a audit letter then I lost it so I called was transferred to the exam dept . This lady asked me some questions put me on hold she said she was able to verify some stuff but I still needed to send in my proof of income and something saying my son lives with me .. she said to send it in as soon as possible and she also said they are so far behind that nobody would probably even look at it for a long time probably at least 6 months … how in the world can they be that far behind ??? I kno people who’s been audited and they just did there’s sent their money that they adjusted with a letter . And they can see what ur employer said u made so why are we sending them stuff they already know .. and she told me I could get a letter from a pastor or someone in the community stating my son lived with me .. crazy he’s been with me for 23 yrs and I’ve always claimed him … I just don’t get all this nonsense ….
-
Awesome Cait!!!! Congratulations!!!!
-
I finally got a date for when my paper check will be sent! Finally some good news especially with the b.s I’ve gone thru. 60day hold, 9week wait and almost another 60day hold. So everyone still waiting have faith and keep checking your WMR :)
-
My 9 weeks is up today how many more days I have left to get my refund
-
@redacted B yes, the exam department would be after the IVO dept. (integrity and verification), which is where you initially land if you get flagged by either filter stream. If IV thinks something’s shady or not right, they send it to the ID Verification Department. Once they do there thing it goes back to IVO who should either release the funds or if somethings off (wrong amount etc.) they pass it to examination which then can request additional documentation etc. This additional 60 Days crap is so beyond insanity I’ve given up. And sadly, they told me it can still go beyond my “new” 60 Days hold even.
-
Spooky, is the exam department different from any of the other departments holding our refunds???? I mean damn my cp05 letter or whatever it was, is an examination also I think???
-
Ha ha ha…. as expected when I ID varied with the TPP 6 weeks ago, they never sent the referral to the IVO department. So we wasted yet another 6 weeks and SURPRiSE….. I’m on another 60 day wait now for the exam department to either ask for more info or to release the refund. I’m positive that after October has come and gone I’ll still be waiting, and on yet another 60 day wait. I’ll be filling 2018 with no 2017 Refund in sight. Like this crap isnt hurting the economy ?!?

Filed March 2017 for 2016 taxes. Never received any letters or refund. Thought they were held to offset 2015 debt. Filed 2017 taxes in February of 2018. Got a 4883C at the end of February. Called and verified 2017 taxes and asked about 2016 taxes. Was told i need to respond to 4883C from 2016 taxes. They send me verification letter and i verify the first week of March 2018. Tell me to wait 6wks. Call again in April and am told there is a hold on it due to not receiving all W2s. Am told to wait 3wks to see if it is released. Call back May and get told again about Id theft and that i would have to wait until July 16th for it to be released. Call back July 16th and am told that my 9 weeks isnt up until July 31st. Call back again August 1st and am told the same thing about it not being finished verified. Answer all the questions again and am told to wait another 9 weeks. Im beginning to think i need an attorney to claim my refund. Meanwhile i got my 2017 taxes without any issues after the verification.
-
Strangest thing for me. I filed 2016 back in May. I decided to wait on 2017 until after 2016 was finished and resolved because I had a small offeset. I had to ID Verify for 2016 7 weeks ago and I finally decided to file my 2017. My 2017 processed normally and will be deposited Aug 8th wednesday. BUT 2016 is still out there after ID verify over 6 weeks ago. just sitting…. I do not understand that. When I call they tell me “Please allow 9 weeks for processing.” It took 14 days for 2017 and they both have the same dependents and credits.
-
They charge interest when we don’t pay. When do we get interest when they don’t pay?
-
I’ve not posted in a while as I’m pretty frustrated, I don’t even bother to check the WMR app anymore, I did just before I posted here and absolutely nothing has changed , nothing new to report.
Best of luck everyone! -
So I called and waiting for 30 minutes on hold. The guy was really nice and was put on hold again. He said everything looked good and to expect it no later than September 20th.
File on 2/6 and maybe get it on 9/20. Everything was filed correctly.
-
Filed 1st week of February, called in March & was told they had sent me an Identity Verification letter, Never recieved letter until 1st week of May, did the thing over the phone & was told it could take up to 9 weeks, July 12 was 9 weeks, still no refund. Called IRS on July 13 and was informed that my identity verification info had never been entered so I had to do it AGAIN… just to be told it could take another 9 weeks, here I sit today July 28th and still says being processed. …. This is ridiculous
-
@redacted Any update with you?
-
I filed back in Feb had DD for my taxes that was suppose to hit a week after.. Well since my name wasn’t on my husbands account the DD was sent back. Since then I’ve been on a 45-60 day hold after that was almost over i called to find out i need to do a ID check. Did that and was put on a 9week hold, my time was up on the 21st.. Called today to find out that I’m on another 60day wait (not hold) for the department that’s still holding my money to either release it or send me a letter for more info if needed. Can’t get a break!!
-
Hi all! Same issue as well. Filed basic return via Taxact in Feb, got the letter in March, called back on March 19th, and still waiting on a return. Crazy huh?!
-
@Noelle The Federal reserve got on the IRS big time over fraud and bogus returns last year so, unfortunately, what we’re all experiencing is them trying to make up for last year by implementing more filters to cut down on fraud. Problem is, they don’t even have close to enough help to manually review all the returns they have pulled, henceforth the delay, then stall tactics being implemented. Stupid part is most of us could have given them months ago what they need to release the funds, but instead, here we all sit, five and six months later, still being told to “ Just Wait”. Complete and damn joke, and I’m sure it’s not legal, but I still continue to write anyone in both the Congress and Senate I can. Just damn unfair. And of course, none of them in that crappy call center care at all.
-
Wow, I filed mine the 22nd of March. This is crazy!
-
@Noelle: been waiting since March 15th. 60 day review, ID verify in person that they never accepted, ID verify over the phone in June, now week 4 of 9 weeks. No new letters, I guess there sending the money via a snail. Whole damn IRS this year is beyond incredibly insane!

@Cass Same situation, filed in March, verified identity in April.. Was told I would receive my refund in 9 weeks from that call, later received a 4464c letter, called IRS was then told to wait 60 days from the day the notice was sent out NOT from the phone call which I was originally told.. So my countdown restarted. 60 days passes and didn’t receive any other letters or any update on transcripts of WMR, called IRS once again and was told nothing had been done to my account ugh! Rep said he’d send out a referral to either be sent another type of letter OR to have my refund released which will take up to another 60 days!! Anyone else still waiting for theirs?
-
@Lacie
Thank you, called today, apparently nothing had been done with our return since the CP05 letter! The lady sent a request to release the funds and we should either hear from them or get our return within 60 days. Back to the waiting game, this is painful! -
@cass
Call them a little futher down the thread are step by step.instructions on how to get an actual person I waited the 9 weeks to call after ID verify just to find out they didn’t do it properly in the first place and had to re do it over the phone…back in the waiting phase now for about a week and a half hoping to see my refund soon -
Hi, we filed our taxes in March, verified our identity on 4/3/18, the lady we verified with over the phone said we should receive our refund in 6 to 9 weeks. We received a letter on 4/12/18 that our refund is being reviewed and we would have a refund date by 5/24/18 (6 weeks from our verification date). I called the next day to ask what the letter meant and they said it was just verifying that we had done our identity and it went back into processing. We decided to wait the 9 weeks, since she said it could take that long after we didn’t receive anything by the 24th of May. It’s now been 13 weeks since we verified our identity, should I call the IRS to see what’s happening or is this happening to everyone who had to verify their identity? The IRS website doesn’t help and I can’t get anyone on the phone. Thank you
-
Folks as you can see by reading this thread I filed my taxes by mail on March 24th, got I’d verify on 5/1, verified 5/7, waited then June 6th when MANY others got their returns released, I got the CP05 LETTER by mail. They now are holding it until July 18th, unless there’s some other problem or stall tactic. Very sad it really is.
-
I verified 5/8 and said we have received your refund and it’s being processed.. what does that mean? It’s been almost 7 weeks since verification and I filled feb 23. Can someone please help
-
It’s been two weeks since I I’d verified in person. The only change I’ve seen is it went from your return is still processing to we have received your return and it’s processing. Hope it doesn’t take much longer. Has anyone got there refund after I’d verifying in person and if so how long did it take
-
Filed 04.15
Verified in person 06.20
Should I be skeptical since the employee just asked me for my id, social, and last year’s tax return?
My journey has just begun.-Impatient single parent with too much on her plate.
Ahhhhh -
@Noelle
I did this today…had to Google the instructions because I didn’t check here first lol but apparently the person I did my ID verifiction with didn’t close out my case properly, probably because she never asked me any questions about my previous tax return which they had to do today over the phone. So basically I waited 9 weeks for nothing. But the woman I spoke with today was very kind and helpful and said I should see a DDD in a couple of weeks hopefully no longer than that I just wish they would have sent a letter or something so I would have known. If this happens next year I’m calling after two weeks lol fingers crossed that it’s smooth sailing from here

@Lacie
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM – 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: “Refund”, or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for “personal income tax” instead.
Then press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment”.
Then press 3 “for all other questions.”
Then press 2 “for all other questions.”
– When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.
– After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
It should then transfer you to an agent
-
I can never figure out how to get an actual person on the damn phone I’m so frustrated with this automated bull crap I need to talk to a human. Been 9 weeks since ID verification and no updates or letters
-
On the phone with the irs again. Ugh. No letters or anything it’s been 13 weeks since Id verify
-
Yea you guys this entire thing sucks huge hairy horse balls! I’m beyond over it and done myself. They owe me thousands!
-
We’re all going to be filing taxes next year still waiting for this year. Absolutely fucking ridiculous !
-
@Charna, your tax situation and times of the letters you received are exactly the same as mine. Same letters, same dates. My CP05 is a 45 day hold also.
-
@Charna, and Get an Advocate ASApP! You loosing your place will qualify. The number to call is on this forum. Best of luck, this year is friggin unreal!
-
@charna: Typical the CP05 letter is a 60 day hold followed by yet another hold if you call at the end of the first. They then will tell you either you have gotten an ID verify letter in the mail, which of course you haven’t, OR…. they will tell you that they will “send a letter to the other dept. to take the hold off” which will take another 30-60 days. I’m going in Friday to ID verify in person, then another 9 weeks for me. A complete dumpster fire this year for sure. Best practice ALL of us can do is to complain to congressmen and women much like the Indiana Congresswomen is calling out the IRS.

hey guys an gals. i filled my taxes on Feb 28th which was my 2016 return i got my return from state for 2017 an 16 i got a verification letter in the mail April 30th an verified may 2nd its been almost 31 weeks since i filled my taxes an i was told by the IRS that it could take up to 9 weeks to get me return then i got another letter in the mail cp05 notice June 4th which states my refund is still under review a could take an additional 45 days to get my refund or another letter. i have never had to deal with this before has anyone on here had to wait the whole 45 days or will it be sooner i have had to put my whole life on hold for 4 months. my lease to my house is up at the end of the month i need my money asap they didnt take this much time taking it out my check all year. an the sad part about it is there is nothing i can do but wait an it pissing me off everyday that goes by with out my money!!!! I NEED ANSWERS im at my wits end>>>>>>
-
Thank you @spooky rides
-
i filed back in April 1 range. I never heard anything, never got any letters I called them thursday for the first time, they said i should have gotten a ID verification in the mail. Today just got it. Will call monday and FINALLY be put in the que to get my deposit and this nightmare ended.
-
I got a tax advocate and even tho I had wait a month before I got her it still only took probably a month before I actually had got my money. They always can authorize to get your funds quickly released and they offer this thing if you having financial struggles to release some of your funds
-
@Treena: “being processed” is further along then “still being processed” which we have had since the beginning of February sadly enough.
-
Mines says “still being processed,” while some of yours show the “being processed” message. Is this another delay for me? I filed last min. My 9th week is Jul 17.
-
Why does mine say “still being processed,” while some poo f you have the “being processed” message. Is this another delay for me. My 9 weeks is July 17th. I filed last minute.
-
Johnb, my tax professional said calling them is the worst thing we can do. It gets us flagged for other things.
-
@spooky
You are definitely spot on. Most corrupt system I’ve ever seen. If I can’t get answers I’m gonna call them every damn day until I get some. This is ridiculous. I’ve filed the same way and near the same amount for years . If I have to go through this next year I might not even file. But I bet they’ll penalize the hell out of me if I don’t. It’s a lose lose situation.
I hope everything works out with your return and your business. We just have to keep our heads up -
Congratulations Meisha!!!! Think of those of us less fortunate!!! Lol
-
@redacted B I filed the middle of February I believe I’ve been at the same job and filed the same kids for 9 and 10 years I did work a lil part time job which wasn’t for that long I finally got a DDD date for June 13 about time.
-
I verified 9 weeks ago for them not to process my taxes went in to verify how long did y’all wait before u received ur return
-
@johnb I agree 100%! We lost a ton of money starting a small business as I’m not counting on social security to feed us years from now. We sunk every penny we had into it, lost allot but set us up for this year to be much better. Without the refund, I can’t buy in bulk so we’re suffering business wise and 5 damn months later, still no friggin’ answers. And I work full time in another job. They get there money every two weeks, where the hell is mine?!? I assure you I won’t File next year until the last minute. Most corrupt form of government ever!
-
@spooky
i think its a load of bullshit. if they were issues they should have let me amend my return. And start over. im not even counting on it anymore. I thought they had to tell us whats going on. guess not. But they sure do get their money out of my hard earned paycheck every week before i even get it. -
@Johnb They are under orders to investigate anything they see wrong that shows thru the multiple new filters they have in place. But…. even after Idenitfing your identity, they still won’t tell you what’s wrong or how you can expedite your return, which is wrong. To hold hostage your tax money due for this long is a crime unto itself. But zero accountability and still after filing myself 5 months ago, zero answers. Sad
-
@spooky
I dont think they know whats going on. What did they tell you when u called. I havent gotten a review notice or anything. Next years sequel “THE IRS BULLSHIT CONTINUES” -
Verified my identity that should say. Sorry.
-
Well, I am now under a 45 day review after I verified my refund. Just got the paperwork yesterday CP05 form. Lovely!
-
Filed 1/31
Verified 5/9
Ddd still unknownAnybody have any updated news so the wait time? Has anybody received theirs yet?
-
@Johnb: “9 more weeks”. Yup just what I was thinking…. more stall tactics, just to buy time if for nothing else. All these new filters, the stupid Path Act, by now the dishonest guys have found ways around all this, yet the working folks continue to get the shaft! Coming to a tax refund for you: “Dumpster Fire 2018” And….. just wait for next years sequel!!!
-
redacted
Was told the last lady i talked to didnt complete verification. The lady i talled to monday completed it and for me to check wmr friday but i could have to wait another 9 weeks . I think they are just not wanting to admit they cant do their jobs. -
I can answer the question of this thread easily! The answer is to damn long!
-
OH and my WMR still hasn’t updated yet! Still processing! My ass. They need to cancel the suckfests they’re doing daily in that office and get to actually processing refunds!
-
Idk about the rest of ya. But IF/when I get my return I’m definitely gonna treat myself to a steak dinner!
-
@Joshua, sounds like you were on the first 60 day hold now onto the next 60 day release. If you called I’m sure they gave you the ole’ “ we will write the other dept. to release your funds. It can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days to happen”. I agree that what’s more frustrating then not getting the money is the complete lack of any specific info on what the issue is. As tax payers we should at very least be sent a specific letter and a better understanding of the issues. You can never get a straight answer out of them. Rubbish’! Complete dumpster fire this year!
-
@Joshua Moore, what did you find out?
-
Hey all, I filed my return on 2/19/18 on 3/7/18 received my 4883C notice to verify. I verified on 3/13/18, and was told to that it would take 9 weeks for my return to be processed. I would check periodically, and my status still says:We have received your tax return and it is being processed. I am now at the 12 week mark and still no change. I consider myself a patient individual and I am aware that the IRS is handling massive loads of returns. How about sending a letter or something to inform citizens about what is taking so long or if any additional information is warranted. I’m sure if the we as citizens owed money, there would be penalties attached to accounts for not adhering to deadlines. I’m calling today to find out what issue(s) may be hindering my tax return from being released. Wish me luck!
-
Update: called tax adovacate & my wages are off. Smh waited this whole time just to know now I’m STILL not going to get it. So now I have to amend. I should have been called them a long time ago.

Congratulations Tee!!!!! You verified a day after me, this gives me hope!!!! Although, my WMR still hasn’t updated yet!!!

On the phone with irs now. 9 weeks up today
-
Brianna, I hate to say it, but much like the rest of us, you need a bottle of lube!
-
I got a 60 day examination letter April 12th. 60 days will be June 11th. It’s June 4th & still nothing. The guy who did my taxes said he spoke with Irs & they said they were going to release my return June 2nd or 3rd but it still says processing on Where’s My Refund. I was hoping it said that because it’s the weekend but I thought it would still update on the weekend. But I also heard that some people got there return even though their WMR status showed “processing”. I filed February 14 though. I’m about to just give tf up.
-
Still waiting for mine as well went in and verified on March 13th it’s been 7 weeks and my refund is pretty small. Just wanted to pay a couple bills lol hoping everyday for an update
-
Cedes, your next letter will either be a “review” letter or that 60 day examination letter that’s going around. Neither are good. But I could be wrong but typically, from what I’ve seen on here, that’s exactly what you’re getting. Get ya some lube and pray for the best!
-
@redacted b the wmr still saying the same o thing “your refund is processing and the etc”.. I called Friday and was told I suppose to be getting another letter so hopefully this last letter whatever they need will let them give me my money!! This have been a long journey I been growing gray hair
-
Still waiting
-
I am still here waiting too.
-
@Meisha, I filed mine the end of March and mailed them in. Seems most ppl that filed with turbo tax or mailing them in were their targets this year and low income claiming the EIC and CTC.
I claimed all the above and am self employed. They’ve really messed me around as well as many others. It’s very sucky. I get on here and vent often.
I was informed, that when we call the irs to check in on our taxes it can also flag us again. So the least we call them the better off we are. I was told that by a tax professional. -
@redacted a drink will be much needed to talk about this crap. Next year I’m filing close to the end.
-
@Cedes, have you called them or checked your WMR? What’s it say?
-
Nope I’m still waiting too and my 9 weeks up June 4 I feel how u guys feel
-
@Meisha,
Let’s get together for some drinks. My treat. We will talk about our tax refund situations lol.
@Christie, good :) I’m trying to have a sense of humor about this terrible situation we all share and glad I’ve made someone laugh lol.My best advice is for next year, the same day we file, we get us a 5 gallon bucket of KY, as it’ll more than likely be needed lol.
-
@redacted B looks like it’s just us two still waiting like donkeys!!!
-
redacted B
You crack me up. I got my DD so my saga is over for all. Much luck that you get yours soon as well.
-
Anything new here? I’m still just as bent over as I was last week.
-
I called this morning after my forever wait. I filed on 2/15/18, required to verify, then wait again. After 9 weeks I was told a referral was sent to release refund. During today’s call, my rep. Stated that it’s only going to get worse for those waiting and apologized because I still have to wait. No bars on wmr, no answers from irs, and completely outraged. Good luck people.
-
Anything new folks? My situation hasn’t changed !!!!!!
-
This is frustrating as hell! I wish you all luck!!
-
I haven’t gotten any letters after the ID verification letters…I verified my ID 03/10…nothing after that. I called a few times, nothing needed from me. No codes on WMR, just my filing status and the refund amount and “being processed.”
-
New question!
How many of you got form 4883c and then once verified, you waited and then they sent you yet another form either requesting more information or holding your refund up?? I ask bc I verified on May 7th and my WMR still hasn’t updated with anything yet. Still says “still processing” with TT152.Thanks!
-

@kimmy I understand your frustration I had a baby this year which cause me to be off work but luckily my savings keep us above water and I was able to go back to work for it got to rough. Keep you head high and i pray that you get a job and that you and your kids get into a home. That hotel stuff is the most stressful.
-
This really sucks did my taxes on Jan 29 called on February and was told wait 45 day waited 45 day then tell me no wait 60 days waited 60 days only for it to be still under review please give another 60 days called and they told me that I had to verify my wages cause my employer didn’t they are out of business I have to verify my wages and I lost everything I my storage unit cause I lost my apartment I lost my unit I had all my things in with all my w2 and paystubs cause I lost my job and now I living in a hotel with my children with so friends untill I can find a job which is not easy . This year has started out real rough but I keep telling myself I’m alive and I have a roof over my head and a hot meal and a hot shower along with my kids. BUT now what do I do if I lost all my stuff how do go about verifying my wages if I have nothing to give. Best thing to do is have faith but does the ppl in the IRS realize how they are messing with ppl lives. Just a little venting thanks everyone for reading. I’m staying positive. NO MATTER WHAT EVERYTHING WILL WORK ITS SELF OUT.
-
Had to wait 9 weeks after I verified that they never completed the process.. Basically I passed and they never closed my case. Said it’s closed now but could take another 9 weeks.
-
@Zombie.kittie87, did you send them a 1099 form to claim your wages?
-
I filed and accepted March 22 2018 bars disappeared 1 week later.
I recieved my identity verification papers April 11th 2018 and I passed my verification the same day.
I still haven’t updated on the WMR site but I just recieved a Cp05 notice May 16th 2018 stating not to do anything but wait till June 28th 2018 the CP05 letter was dated 05/14/2018.When I did my identity verification the woman told me where I filed self employment they may not have all my wages in there system and I may get a proof of wages verification and now that I’ve recieved the CP05 letter I’m guessing it’s because of them not having my wages but I don’t understand why they don’t just send me a paper asking for proof of wages instead there making me wait extra time for them to look them up and verify my income and dependents and what ever else they need and I have to wait till the end of June then turn around and end up probably have to wait another 45 to 60 days again with the luck it seems the rest of us are having.
After them asking me my whole past life history all of my legal info my kids info and parents names my account info my income and then some but I told them everything they asked for and she even said they had more then enough for my identity to be verified so Hopefully i get news soon or in the next cpl of weeks because im already to the point of giving up and my filing fees where suppose to be deducted from my refund too so I’m waiting for turbo tax to start sending emails for my fee payment. -

STILL BEING PROCESSED -
@Michelle I have a TA and to be honest you a be off better just waiting having them doesn’t make the process no better. You can be having a major crisis and all they well (mines) told me was “IM SORRY THAT TOU DEPENDING ON TOUR TAX REFUND TO PAY YOUR RENT OR ETC….”, but there is a process and it can take up to 9 weeks my 9 weeks was up last week and I’m still getting the same ole sad song “it’s a process”.
-
@Shelly, yes I claimed the EIC.
-
@Shelly Yes, this is only the 2nd year I’ve been able to claim it. That was my point in another post–This is discrimination. If we can get the data which I am sure they have we’ll see that it’s mostly low-income individuals. One rep early on admitted this but other reps denied it. I see this as a legal issue.
-
I file my taxes but the people didn’t explain the letter to me
-
For those who are still waiting on your refund. Are you all claiming the EIC on your return? Seems like everyone who claimed it is still waiting.
-
Michelle—Did you call them today? I am calling in two days as my 9 weeks post-ID verify will be up as well. You filed 3 days before me! Let us know what they say. Some have been saying that at this point they send a referral to that dept. to release the hold. Hope that is the case for you. These guys have two more weeks before they start owing us interest. I almost want to send them a past due notice.
-
Sad thing is the irs isn’t even using lube. My WMR says the same as had for weeks!
-
Michelle and Joe ……
Michelle call them today and they should have more to tell you. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you girl.Joe….WOW thats crazy! Have you tried Tax Advocacy?

Filed Feb 5th
Received verification letter Mar 5th
Verified Mar 13th
Today is exactly nine weeks and still nothing no updates on the irs site -
So guys,
I filed on January 13th
Received my letter to ID verify on February 23rd, verified on February 26thI’m on week 11 as of today and nothing has changed. Pretty sure I’m just boned at this point, I’ve never had this issue in my life and I’ve gone through a pretty weird Gambit of changes up to now. I separated from the military in 2014 and have lived in 5 states since then and now that I’ve finally lived in one state for an entire tax season (which hasn’t happened in almost 7 years) I’m having issues lol, wtf is up with this.
-
Kristen….unless there are notes the guy was reading, I can’t imagine how he would know that. The guy I spoke with last made a sincere effort to find out anything, putting me on hold at least twice, but couldn’t…just that they were backed up. Besides, from my research it appears the IRS is supposed to notify you BEFORE they contact third parties. I also believe that was in the IRS Act that passed recently..it is also supposed to make the IRS more like customer service….
-
@Kristen My thing is, this whole f*ck up should be on the news or something! Let people know what’s going on!!
-
@KMurph
I’m not even sure what to do other than wait. I’ve called and gone AWF on them several times but it gets me no where. I read somewhere that the transcript will reflect any changes they’ve made but it brought me no comfort. My 9 weeks should be up May 26th I was told. -
@Kristen My bars were never there either. Received ONE letter back in Feb telling me not to do anything! I guess neither have they because I’m still waiting. No updates whatsoever on WMR. Got a TA last Thursday and nothing from them either. I’m SICK of this. Why isn’t anyone making the IRS keep their word?!
-
Hi everyone! So I’ve posted on here a few times. So let me update you.
Filed 2/14
*I never EVER had bars! My WMR has always said “Still Processing”
*Received letter from IRS to verify identity a month later
Verified on 3/13
*Still no change to my WMR lol no bars!
*I have called several times asking had everything be done correctly. The last time I called was back at the end of April and I got a very unpleasant guy! His response to me was that of “B*tch, I’m annoyed by you!” He stated mam the last time you called we told you 9 weeks and nothing has changed. They are verifying and calling ALL of your employers and verifying income and so on so you will just have to wait until your 9 weeks is up. Lol I guess that means I’m being audited. I never received any evidence supporting this or asking for any further information from me other than the letter to verify my identity. I honestly gave up a while ago on checking my WMR because it has always said the same exact thing from the beginning! Also please note* that I ordered a Tax Transcript back in March/April just to see if any changes or updates had been made and I just received that in the mail on 5/9. My 9 weeks will be up at the end of this month. No choice but to continue this waiting game. I’m soooooo sick and tired of the IRS and their 17th century antics and technology. Hoping for the best for everyone on this forum! -
THeyre still processing my return and tax topic 152!!! Woohoo who didn’t know that?!!? Damn I just love the IRS!!
-
@Christie, I just checked mine. Says the same damn thing as always has mine is “still being processed” and tax topic 152 lol. I swear the IRS sure does know how to mind f**k someone and they enjoy it to!! We should all file a class action lawsuit for mental abuse! Lol
-
@redacted B
It changed from “still processing” to “being processed” about a week after I verified in person. It has not changed since then. I will let you know. If I had to guess I’d say that they will get that 9 week call from me before I get the dd on WMR.
-
@Donnie hey no prob. I almost drove myself crazy stressing over it. I was checking both wmr as if ine would show me something different than the other. Lol i honestly had to make myself stop checking after 3weeks straight. But it took 5 weeks from verification day until showing approved with a DDD. Good luck everyone and try to play the waiting game as best you can.
-
Please let us know what ya find out hon and if they pay you on time. My WMR hasn’t updated at all since I verified. Has yours??
-
@redacted
Yes, I have called more than once and they won’t tell me anything other than it can take up to 9 weeks. My 9 weeks is almost up.
-
@Brook mines dissapeared twice.
-
I guess I’m gonna call on Monday as it’ll be a week since I verified and my WMR hasn’t updated at all! I can’t really seem to get anyone to answer my simple question of how long it takes to update so I’m really not getting much help here.
-
@Brook, thanks! This year has absolutely sucked!
-
How about this one…..
Filed 3/8
Verified 4/5
Just got an update on wmr for 5/16
I hope this helps someone.
And by the way our bars went away twice and just appeared for the third time today saying approved. -
Just got ddd for 5\16..i mailed in my id verify…it took about 9 weeks
-
Christie, have you called them yet? Most get it in 2 weeks or less!
-
It varies..
For me:
Accepted: 02/08
ID verify: 03/10
Updated from “still processing” to “being processed” about a week later
Still do not have a DD date -
I just did my verify today, howlong?
-
My WMR still hasn’t updated.
-
Your not going to update till tmrw or saturday
-
What forms did you all get? I got the 4883c form sent to me.
-
How long has it been taking on average for paper checks to be sent out after you verified?
My situation is a Bit odd, my 2017 refund no problems at all. But my 2016 refund I had to verify my identity. I filed them 2 weeks apart.
-
Kelly,
Did yours update overnight? I called yesterday and verified as well. Took about 10 minutes. What sorts questions did they ask you? I found the entire thing odd as heck myself.Please post your updates I’ll do the same!
-redacted

Filed 2/4
Accepted 2/6
Letter to verify 3/3
Verified 3/5
Waited 9 wks
Called again 5/7
Told that the person who verified my identity didn’t do both steps & enter all codes to release my refund. Apologized to me prob 10 times said I now have to wait again but shouldn’t be too long. Also said my refund has accrued interest & will reflect on my refund.Website only updates overnight so it won’t show any possible change til at least tomorrow. I’m so frustrated.
-
@smj

@Meisha girl right lol been waiting since January🤦 I hope you get the answers you need and hopefully next year this want happen
-
@loveme27 Nope I got a appointment with a Tax Advocate on this coming up Friday I hope she can tell me some good news. I see you got yours coming 😫 congratulations ball hard we been waiting to long for that money lol….!

Hey everyone just wanted to give u a update.
I filed 1/23 accepted same day
Called 21 days later still no response just i had to wait.
Finally mid feb they say i needed to verify id. March came. Still no letter. Called multiple times finally received letter april 27th.
Verifiyed that day.
My wmr was just stuck on ur return is being processed and a date will b given when available.
WmR finally updated to some bs that said no information was provided and need to call and reference code 9001 on april 18th.
They gave me the whole 9 saying i need to wait 9 weeks after verify.
Called every other day last week.
Said same thing after and after. Wait 9 weeks.
Well today i updated to a ddd of may 9th. So it took 8 days after verify. Never once did mmy wmr update to processing or still processing just updated to my ddd. -
@meisha you still haven’t got an update?
-
Thanks Christie if I was you I’ll call they ass everyday until you get your money that’s basically what I did!!
-
Loveme27 Glad you got yours. Still waiting.
-
Who else has to ID verified around march 27 and receive there second letter. I had got my second letter April 4. It’s jus stating it’s under review and processing. It’s now may 5 still no update for me and this is very stressful because I had recently had a baby 2 weeks ago and dnt kno why it’s taking so long. I called the IRS and they stated the processing date for 9 weeks start from your second letter not from the date u verified. If anyone has gotten their second letter April 4 and receive a DDD yet please let me kno
-
Still no DD …I’m super frustrated and annoyed. I filed 1/27 and was accepted 1/29. Received the 4464c dated 3/5/18 on 3/12. Wmr says is being processed. I got a TA on 4/18 and still nothing. Super pissed because I had a baby 6 weeks ago and really behind on bills,and have to move. Pray for an update by next week because this is ridiculous
-
There is hope !!! I status changed today ddd 05/09/18 keep praying it will be here soon you all. Until the next tax season I’ll chat with y’all then.. hopefully this want happen again next year..
-
@Doug I did the same thing
-
Filed 1/27
ID verified in office 3/9
Refund DD set for 5/9
Note: as of today WMR still says the same generics “still processing will recieve refund date when available.” I had to call and get them to pull my file to find out. -
Sorry it’s the 9th of may
-
@heyyyy I just spoke with the irs and my ddd is 05/29/2018 I’m so happy y’all umma keep y’all posted
-
@Tia some people it’s only takin 7-10 days an some longer all a waiting thing really.
-
I mailed my return on March 29 I’m thinking it was received March 30 since I mailed it rush order. On May 3 I received a letter to Verify my identity successfully did so same day. After doing so I was told it would take up to 9 weeks to get my return 😣 anyone received it sooner or at least get a due date
-
@christie I will an you do the same. This is really stressful it really is. I think once we identify ourselves it should go faster also. Then with it being after the deadline looks like things would go faster. Umma continue to call everyday until I get my refund I filed in January 🤦here it is May. I’ve seen some people who get there’s 7-10 days after they verfied. I’m hoping to be that lucky. And I hope you receive your ddd really soon.
-
Loveme27
Yeah, I ID verified (in person) which is nuts. It changed from “still processing” before the ID verification to “being processed” afterward. I’ve called several times. It’s hit or miss whether I get someone polite or a totally rude (woman) who is hateful and mad I’m calling. With the Taxpayer Act that just passed that will make them look at this like customer service as it should be maybe the IRS will give some of the people the boot. If it were their money, they’d be calling too.
The people on the phones can’t do much. They are separate from those who process.
I’ve been filing forever and this is the first time I’ve experienced this. Anyone remember the days when it only took 10 days? I know they have to combat ID theft, but as someone who once authored policies of ID verification, there are better ways to do it and after we have verified, it should be a speedy processed. I ID verified 03/10.
Let me know when you get yours. I still do not have a DD date.
-
@ Christie did you do idenity verfication? Did you check to make sure they put yours through..? I call them every day lol . I’m not gone stop calling until they send my money that I’ve worked for 🤷
-
@christie omg!!! Lol don’t tell me that now I’m about to be worried again🤦.. Have you called them? If so what are they saying?
-
Loveme27 Mine has said that for the last 7 weeks.
-
Mines Updated last not from your refund is still being processed a refund date will be provided soon to we have received your tax return it is being processed… I’m guessing that’s a good thing.. What y’all think?
-
February 23 – filed
March 19 – my tax preparer called IRS, the agent told her to just wait for the refund as they’re low on people.
On WMR, it says return received and tax topic topic 152.
March 31 – on WMR, bar disappeared and tax topic 152. It says return being processed. Refund date will be provided when available.
April 7 – on WMR, no bar and the tax topic 152 disappeared. It says refund still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.
April 11 – Called IRS, the agent told me that I’m under review. I told her that I didn’t received any letter from them that I am. Was told to wait until May 30th or a letter before calling them back.
April 16 – got a letter need to verify ID, did same day over the phone. Passed. Was told to wait up to 9 weeks to get the refund and to call them if refund wasn’t received by then. Agent told me that I could only see changes after 2-4 weeks.
April 25 – No changes. No letter. On WMR, it says refund still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. Called IRS, was told to wait and check refund status everyday at WMR and it hasn’t been 2 weeks yet.
April 30 – Received letter dated 4/26 that I’m under review, not required to do anything.
May 2 – checked WMR, bars back, refund will be sent by May 4 and to contact my bank if refund wasn’t received by May 8.The thing is I quit my old job last year June and my annual income increased by a lot from the previous years. I have same dependent for years. No tax credit claimed. Same job for years since I started filing my taxes.

I verrified on April 21, 2018 @ 6:57 p.m., They told me to wait 9 weeks….I woke up this morning with a DD for May 2, 2018. All of my bars re-appeared. Initially my bars were gone and WMR said it was processing, Two weeks later it said it was still processing. I filed March 20,2018. God is Great. If WMR says still processing please call.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM – 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: “Refund”, or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for “personal income tax” instead.
Then press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment”.
Then press 3 “for all other questions.”
Then press 2 “for all other questions.”
– When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.
– After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
It should then transfer you to an agent.

-
This is so frustrating….filed 2/2 , got my letter at the end of March and ID verified over phone. I passed. Still waiting. Wmr hasn’t updated and still says still processing, date will be provided when available. Can anyone shed light on the REAL timeframe? Waiting on DDD AND they said it could take 9 weeks, but it usually doesn’t take that long? I’m so sick of the runaround.
-
Tasha I just experienced the same exact thing! After waiting just about a month (first called about letter on 3/16, called again 4/12) without seeing my status change from still being processed. Told the guy I spoke to entered my info wrong!?!? Like how? Was someone gonna tell me? So wasted a month of waiting, and still no concrete answer to when this epic nightmare will end! She claims she “fixed” the issue…hopefully time will prove her correct.

Filed 1/29
Received letter 4883c 2/20
Verified over the phone 2/23
Was told that I passed and to expect my refund in 9 weeks
Called after week 3 when my refund status didn’t update. They said it was still being processed. Called twice during week 4 and 5 because the wmr was still say being processed, never given a ddd. Spoke to 4 different pple they said I was still being processed and I need to wait the full 9 weeks.
Waited 6 weeks and still no update on wmr, called the number back from the letter 4/11 This rep actually pulled up my account and stated that the person I verified with did nothing to my account and it had just been sitting for all those weeks. She then told me that she fixed it and I have to wait an additional 9 weeks to receive my refund but I should only take 2-3 weeks. I hope i get my refund one day. -
JH @ Michael I received my letter got accepted 2-7-

I filed 2-21 aceped the next day lost bars a week later so i called the end of feb and they said i was getting a 4883c in the mail within 10 days it never came so i called again and they said they was sending another one and on 3-12 i got 3 of them all dated the same day so i called andverified 3-14 she said i passed and was being processed 4 -9 i called cause i had no update on wmr and said they could not verify me to go into a tax office and verify and i did the next day and the guy was real nice and said that lady never put you through to processing and if i would have never called and came in i would never recived my refund till i verified and as of today nothing has changed but im giving it a week so those of you who have not seen anything change i would call again to make sure they put you through to processing because the first time i verified by phone said i passed and put me through and she strait up lied so now im starting my 9 weeks all over
-
@Kristen
Call Turbo Tax. They should defer your payment. They did for me. I have been waiting since 1/30.
-
Still currently waiting! I’ve posted previously saying I submitted on 2/14. Received letter and verified 3/13. I’ve been waiting with no word since then. Nothing has changed. I don’t think I ever had bars to begin with. It’s been so long that’s turbotax is threatening to charge my card on file for the $77 processing fee. This has been a nightmare. I’m thinking to myself if I made a mistake, I would rather then follow up and let me know so I can fix it and get this process moving along. This has been such a turn off.
-
@ JH: Did you receive a 4464c letter? When was your return accepted by the IRS?

Need answers I’d verified 3-22-18 called irs told that it will take 45 days after 4-23-18 now this is crazy because 4-23-18 haven’t even got here yet

Anyway if someone could help me with my mystery it would be great! Filed 2/06 accepted the same day.

-
@maria did you check everyday prior to Monday? Like maybe it updated Saturday but you didn’t check until Monday? Or did you check everyday? Did you update Monday morning or Monday into Tuesday? Were you able to check transcripts? Whatd they look like? I’ve only seen people update on Saturday mornings for the last few weeks as to why I ask.
-
@Jennifer Murgerson. I id verified 3-12 n was told to wait 9 wks after that day then I got a letter on 3-19 that I was under review. I checkd wmr n mine updated Monday w a ddd of 4-9.
-
I verified my identity on 2/20 and still processing. I have called more than once about my return but they keep saying I have to wait the full 9 weeks which is 4/24 but last year it only took one week.

Received letter 4883c Called and i.d verified on the 30th of March , April 4th my status went from “still being processed to “is being processed ” today I woke up to a DDD FOR THE 10TH . Took exactly 8 days
-
I verified 3/30 and mine still hasnt changed hope it does soon
-
I am with you Kristen. You would think that since a certain knucklehead (using a pleasant euphemism here) administration ordered this mandate that the IRS would have had enough sense to beef up their staff for the season. No concrete protocol this year it seems.
-
Got my id letter and proved my identity on April 2nd and wmr still says processing please help and let me know when a ddd could be available thanks.
-
Just called again this morning….pretty much no help and still giving me the same slack answers. Guy stated it could be as far out as May 16th. He mentioned me still being in a 60 day window after verifying my identity.
Breakdown:
2/14: Filed
Called on 3/6 due to WMR still saying processing after 21 days and was told that a letter was mailed to me.
3/13: verified identity
WMR is still saying refund processing. I owed money from 2015 and had already informed them to offset my refund for the balance. I’m not sure what the hold up is. I have been filing my own taxes through TurboTax for and the past 5 years. I’ve never had an issue until this year. I’m starting to wonder is it a Turbotax issue. Seems like everyone that Is having this issue e-filed through TT. Also saw a guy mention he didn’t get his tax refund until June last year! The horror!!!! It’s 2018 why are they still operating like the local water company in a dusty a** small town. Still using a fax machine???!! (Pearls clutched!) -

Anyone wait over 4 weeks to get their refund after verifying their Identity? I verified mine on 3/09/18 and still nothing. I am beginning to worry and really need this refund. Also, yes if i hadnt of called to check my refund, i probably would have never received my letter. They said they sent it but i never received it until I called and then it took 14 days to receive that letter. I am beyond upset with the IRS. I have never gone through these many issues.

Since 3/6 WMR says:

A refund date will be provided when available.I know I shouldn’t make plans but I have a baby on the way and was really hoping to be able to use my return for her nursery. The only thing I can think of that is delaying my refund is that my business took a hit this year so they have to do extra reviewing on it.
I had to do the same verification process last year too. It did not take nearly this long tp get the letter or to process the refund after. I was suppose to get DD but they sent me a paper check. The WMR never changed even after I received the check it still showed:
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available. -

@jsharp
If you fail the identity verification over the phone you would have to schedule an appointment with your nearest IRS office and verify your identity in person. On the letter they sent you it will tell you what you need to have on hand before calling the #. Good luck.
-
Update!!
Verify on 3/16
Still processing all week
Today it changed to
We have receive your tax refund and is being processed
Let’s see if by next week I get a DDD. -
Filed on 1/26, verified ID over the phone on 3/5, site still says “We have received your tax return and it is being processed.” I check it every morning as soon as I wake up. So far no joy. I’ll be paying Turbotax their $149 tomorrow to get them off my back. :-(
-
Update I id verified 3-12 n passed. No changes on WMR got a letter today that my refund is on hold for review they dnt need anything from me but the review will b completed May 3…smh some joke fr. I filed n was accepted 2-12
-
What happens if you fail the verification over the phone? What would cause a fail? This my first year doing my taxes on my own through turbo tax. I had a lot of changes last year. new address, new child in my family, new job. I got all my docs I’m just nervous I don’t want to drag this out more….
-
What happens if I fail the id verification. I’m a little nervous about this. First year filling my taxes myself with turbo tax. I got my return and all my info. I had a lot of changes this year.. new dependant, new address, new job.

Filed on 2/23, Verified ID on 3/16, impatiently waiting on that DD. Refund date is still in process! Any hope that I will get it anytime sooner than 9 weeks???

Has anyone received any updates?
-
Files and accepted on 2/6…
Received letter 2/26 (dated 2/22) and confirmed ID by calling that same day, 2/26
It is now 3/22 And I’m still waiting on a refund date
-
I’m happy for all those that received DD today. I called and was told that there are no updates since I verify on 3/16 But I was told to wait 9 wks, it sucks because I was hoping to receive a DDD. I guess I’ll be one of the unlucky ones.
-
Gdm every1 n congrats to all that have a DD. I verified 3-12 N still no updates on ARM. Hope to see something soon.
-
Got my DD today, which was in line with my DDD of 3/21.

Accepted 1/22/18
Bars disappeared 2/3/18
Got a ID verification letter in the mail, and identified myself in person at my local IRS office on the 2/15/18. There is still no update and my bars are still fine. I called IRS today and they said it is still being processed and to call back after it has been the full 9 weeks. This is So frustrating! -
has anyone id verified and it actually took a month or longer than a month to receive funds or a ddd and if so did you ever get the ddd or refund after waiting a month or having to wait the full 9 weeks? I feel like if I have to wait longer than a month they’re gonna come up with some other reason to not give it to me
-
Hi there!
i filed on 1/29
accepted 1/29
Then bars disappeared around 2/3 and it said Still processing
I waited until 2/17 to check again because i did have a EITC (earned income tax credit)
and they don’t start processing those until Mid-February.
On march 8th I got fed up with waiting and called. They said thesent me a letter.
When i got home the letter was there thank goodness so i called to verify my ID and lady on phone said it could take up to 9 weeks! ugh.. I see some people have gotten lucky and received their refund fairly quickly.
I check WMR everyday with no status update!
I have been trying to get any update so i have done the online transcripts and everyday before today it says “this does not match our records” So today i tried again an di guess they finally updated me and started processing my info because i was able to view my transcript!
It says they are processing my refund April 2nd and will have my funds April 15th! Please lord let this be true!! So if you don’t have updates on WMR try looking up your transcript online!

But my online refund been saying processing for the longest
-
Filed 2/3, lost bar after a week. Waited the 21 days to call, was told wait for letter. Never got, called back for them to resend so I could verify identity. Got new letter, called and verified on 3/15, haven’t had any update. Received another letter today stating they couldn’t authenticate my identity, so I needed to call back in, dated 3/15 same day I called in and already done. Man told me control numbers are the same so I don’t need to do anything but wait. Anybody else had this happen
-
Ok, so I first filed on 2/1/2018 electronically, waited two wks and nothing WMR just said still processing. Noticed that others that filed after me had a refund date. Called on 3/6/2018 was asked If I received the U.S. letter told them that I’ve not received anything. So they resent the letter and was told that I needed to wait for the letter. Got the letter on 3/16/2018 I’D has been verified n have to wait 9 wks hoping to get some news this so. It sucks because it’s the second year I go through this and last year I didn’t receive my refund until June. Hopefully this year I get news quickly. Has anyone verify there identity last wk? Has anyone gotten an update?
-
I had to verify my identity also. Did that on 3/12. Decided to give it a few days and called on 3/16 to make sure everything was straight at that point because my WMR stuff hadn’t changed from “…still processing and you’ll receive a refund date when available..”. The lady looked at my account and actually gave me a DDD of 3/21. Just to see if it had changed, I checked WMR on 3/18 and it also said 3/21. I hope everyone else gets a DDD soon that hasn’t gotten one. I don’t know you guys situations but I need this money. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!

Don’t mean to be doom and gloom, but it looks like anything is game this year with processing. I am a realist. Everyone’s tax situation is different so what happens with one return may go a different way for another. Some people getting deposits out of the blue while others are waiting and getting the runaround. The IRS was not ready for this new mandate and it is showing.
-
@justagey awesome I mean I know it hasn’t worked out for all but the majority of the post I’ve read when the status updates it’s a good possibility a DDD is coming soon. I’m going to try and remain hopeful. I’m going to check my transcript tomorrow.
-
@Steph My WMF status changed to that today, too.
At least it’s SOME progress!
-
@mkr okay my hopes just got shot down :(
-
A lot of us on here have had that message for at least 10 days or so and have yet to see any progress beyond that.
-
I don’t know if it matters by my wording on MWR changed today from “your tax return is still being processed” to “we have received your tax return and it is being processed”. Anybody know if this s good news?
-
ID Verified in office on Friday 3/9… still have the same message “still processing”. Anyone verify between 3/1 and 3/8 and get there $$? Please post how long it took.
-
I’m getting harassed by turbo tax too, and I feel like this review is half their fault!!!!!
-
@justagey yes they are bothering me too. I pulled my transcripts today it’s still n/a as soon as I see movement I’ll let you know. Hopefully tomorrow or friday so we can wake up to a DDD on Saturday. I’m just praying I don’t have to do any additional review or any crap like that.
-
No updates here. Still waiting. Crossing my fingers that something changes after this weekend.
TT is now harassing me to pay my bill, since the return is so late.
-
Did anybody get any updates today?
-
IDV on 2/20, still nothing either.
-
@justagey I’m rating for a DDD 3/21. My bday is 3/22 it would be such a nice present lol no but seriously it seems hot or miss. It’s people who verified a week before us that are still waiting too and some who are moving fast. I hope we’re on the faster side.
-
@Steph: That’s my hope: Movement no later than Saturday or Sunday, with a DDD the following week.
I certainly hope so, anyway. That money’s earmarked to pay down debt.
-
@justagey let’s keep each other updated. I verified on 3/9. Hopefully we’ll see movement about Wednesday or Thursday.
-
ID Verified 3/8. No change as of yet.
-
ID Verified 3/5 got a DDD on 3/10, for the 14th
-
ID verified 2/20, still nothing. No other letters, no bars, nothing.
Be hopeful, but be honest with yourselves!

@Steph
Probably no later than the 21st for ya. You’ll be fine. ;) -
Yay I’m so happy for everybody it’s been a journey. I ID verified yesterday 3/9. I’m hoping for a DDD of 3/21 if not sooner pray for me guys.

Ex filed in January. He finally received ID Verify letter two weeks ago. He messed up verification over the phone because he wasn’t prepared. He had to go verify in person after that point. He verified in person on March 1. Yesterday his status changed from still being processed to being processed. Today he woke up to bars, approved, and DDD of March 14. Hope this info helps someone.

I got accepted 1/29/18 got my letter to verify on 3/2/18 I called on 3/5/18 and I updated in 3/7/18 and got a DDD of 3/14/18 so not bad if you ask me last year it took 5 weeks after verification and my husband it took literally 3 days from verification to deposit because they said his was processed and basically just waiting to be released so it all depends
-
Lisaupsetmoore,
If I were you, I would call them again. Even though they probably told you the same 9 weeks after verifying identity, call anyway. That’s what I did. Then just play dumb. Act like they didn’t tell you. Then just be super, sweet nice like you’re just checking to be sure they don’t need anything else from you to make this process go any smoother. They’ll check the process for you. Good luck! -
@Ben, Actually I called again today. I don’t have my transcripts. I tried to order them online and kept getting an error message so I gave up. According to “Where’s my Refund” nothing has happened. I still show the same thing it showed the day my return was received back on 2/12/2018. “We have accepted your tax return and it is being processed.” Nothing has ever changed. Not when they sent the letter. Not when I verified identity. Never. I have never had any bars. Nothing. That same message just sits there and stays the same. They told me over the phone that I had a ddd. Go figure.
-
A 971 not 970 code.
-
Do they have a certain code that says your under review? I have 841 refund cancelled and then a 970 notice sent code.
-
@madtiffmom
Did you see your ddd on wmr? Or through online transcripts?
-
I am good to go and verified now praise God. She did tell me 9 weeks which is May 11th. I pray to god that’s not the case. I really really need it by the end of this month. Based off what I’ve seen I would expect to update next week and get a DDD by 3/21 we shall see let’s keep each other updated. @lisaupsetmoore have you checked you transcripts?
-
How long is the process after being verified it’s been 11 days for me now and wmr is still saying the same stupid message!
Processing😣😣😣
Please Help Me! -
Good for you! BTW, they will tell you it will be 9 (NINE) weeks after you confirm identity. So don’t freak. It shouldn’t be that long. As long as there aren’t any more hold ups, it should only be another week. 😊
-
@mastiiffmom yes I’ve got the letter in hand. I’m on hold now 30 minutes already just waiting for someone to pick up so we can get this show on the road.
-
Thanks, Stephanie. Did you ever receive your letter? I do believe that is one major hurdle to overcome. You need the letter to begin the verification process. There is a number on the letter they need. After that, the questions are very simple. Parents names, maiden names, place of birth, etc. They did ask me my bank name and account number, my husband’s name, ss#, but nothing about income. They did ask me if I had a 1099 for 2017. (I don’t work) But I showed some winnings (earnings) from a competitive sport.
-
@mastiiiffmom that’s awesome I pray mine move just as fast
-
-
Just wanted to update on my situation. Filed and accepted 2/12/2018. No movement. No updates. No bars. Received letter for ID verification on 3/03/2018. Weird. We have lived in the same place, worked same jobs, requested deposit same bank for many, many years. Whatever. I confirmed identity on 3/05/2018. Received ddd of 3/14/2018 today. So there is hope. Hang in there, everyone.
-
Finally got my 4883C last night and verified. Fingers crossed!
-
For those here who verified and got their DD in a few days (as opposed to the 10 weeks that IRS states) did you do face to face verification or phone verification? Mine was phone as our closest office is 2 hours away. Thanks
-
@denise did you have to make an appointment to go in the office and what did you bring with you? My letter has been sent twice now and I have yet to receive it. I filed 1/26 was accepted 1/29. Called 2/20 and was told that my return was on hold because I need to verify myself and I should receive the letter by 2/27. 2/27 came no letter so I called and spoke with another rep who supposedly resent while it hasn’t been 14 days yet we all know mail doesn’t take that long. I’m so fed up. If all they need me to do is verify who I am then so be it. But I don’t even know how to begin to get this ball rolling. It sucks just waiting for a letter that will probably never get here.

No @elizabeth Ashley – I just called and I think I had to hit #1 twice and it put me on hold until someone came on the line. I think I only had to wait about a minute but that could vary depending on how busy they are.

Sorry @JBinSOCO
-
@Rachel, I just called is there an extension number because I didn’t get anywhere.
-
@Elizabeth Ashley call the Tax Advocate line 1877 777 4778
-
@Rachel, how do I get in touch with a tax advocate?
-
@ElizabethAshley, call an advocate. The IRS people are jackasses and they will not give you helpful info. I finally called an advocate this morning and got some answers. Also, if you do qualify for a hardship it will go thru them. To qualify you have to produce a repo notice or some time of eviction notice. Just telling them you are having a hard time financially unfortunately will not cut it. I know because I tried!
-
I verified on 2/22. Nothing yet, I called the IRS and the guy said my return was already processed ( but the irs2go app says still processing) and being held AGAIN for more review I’m like WTH? Again? So I called back to request a hardship, this guy was an a$$hole telling me I had to wait the full 9 weeks after I verified. I hung up on him and called back. This time I was told that my return is still being processed and it wasn’t under any additional review. Wtf? IRS get it together please!

Damn, this effing sux. I verified 2/20 and NOTHING. no wmr update in 8 weeks for me.
Honestly, I’ve given up on getting this money. I’ve already made other arrangements.
Btw, if you look here – https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-bill-of-rights#informed
The last line says that we, the rest taxpayers, “have the right to be informed of IRS decisions about their tax accounts and to receive clear explanations of the outcomes.”
I don’t know about you, my fellow tax slaves -cough- I mean “taxpayers!”
I’m not getting clear anything but pure, clear BS.

On wmr

Was your ddd on the WMR? Or transcripts?
-
How long did it take for you guys to get your letter? I was told I need to verify and if I could just get that done it seems to move pretty smooth.

Id verified Tuesday, Feb 27th, updated today with a DDD of 3-7!

Verified Monday. Updated this morning for ddd March 7th.

Same here, Id verify, went from still processing to being processed, no update. Hopefully tomorrow morning!

I did my ID Verify 9 days ago … no update on WMR but transcripts updated this morning showing ddd of 3/7.

Accepted 2/2
Received ID Verify letter on 02/26
ID Verified over phone 02/27
Blank Transcripts, no bars or TT on WMR as of 02/28
I should clarify I am also filing IS but that should be independent of the return processing portion.*edit; I also called on 2/26 for updated but they told me it still wasn’t 21 days from when they received the return and gave no useful information. That night I got the letter and haven’t called since. ID verify person told me they would reinsert my return back into the sequence when it was verified.

ID Verify on last Wednesday 2/21 … no update on WMR. Transcripts all blank online, although I was able to order transcript over the phone – maybe they will come blank?
