      Filed 1/23, been stuck on processing since then. I called last week, a lady took my info, and told me I should see an update this weekend and if not to call back today. Well, I called back today, and new a different lady took my info, and told me that the IRS needs more information to process my return and I should receive a letter within the next 1-4 weeks. They have had my return for a month now! So, now who do I believe, the lady I spoke to today, or the lady I spoke to last week. I would like to believe the first lady, but my head says believe the second one. I just can;t believe that the IRS has had my return for a month now, and are now says I will receive a letter within the next 1-4 weeks. WTF?

          Called the ID verify line. She told me that the lady I had just hung up with, the one who said I needed to ID verify, was the one who had issued the letter and that the letter will be mailed TODAY, I need to wait 21 days for the letter to arrive, then and only then can I ID verify, since I need info on the letter to do so. So, a month in and they are just now issuing me a letter. I hate the IRS so much, it seems a different issue with them every year. Oh well, I am not in desperate need of the cash, so I guess nothing I can do but wait.

            The lady you spoke to today ! It means you got pulled for verification. It happens. Happened to me two years. Instead of waiting to get a letter. Look online for the ID verification number. Call the IRS line and tell them you were told you needed to verify from a rep.
