      IRS agent told me checking WMR and the mobile app multiple times a day or acceding the daily limit can trigger an ID Verification letter. Appears as if multiple persons are trying to access your refund info.

                I just talked to IRS she said that’s 100 percent false.

                          Bs because they keep track of your IP address

                              I lock myself out everyday last year and years before….that’s absurd. I’m just patient this year and check here 1st before logging in. If read about movement on here then I check this year

                                  Sorry, guess I should’ve worded my response better. What he’s saying IS TRUE that an agent told him this. As I had 2 agents tell me the same thing. I’m not saying what THEY said was the truth. Jesus ppl you’re OCD as fuck. Call them and ask them whether it’s the truth. You call them over every damn thing else.

                                        If this were true, every single person on this forum would be getting Id verification request. How many posts have you read that by 01:00 AM they’ve been locked out due to too many logins?

                                          Sounds like a canned response to help get rid of some of the online traffic on their systems. Every year since 2012 I have used WMR on each platform and called and I tend to always lock myself out and I have NEVER had an ID Verification request.

                                            If this were true, every individual on this forum would be getting ID verified.

                                              Not true one bit. Just because a call center agent tells you that doesn’t mean it’s correct information.

                                                  This is a true story. I had 2 agents tell me the same last year. Also calling to much will set off “red flags”.

                                                    And “agent” = some random person at a temp job with far less tax knowledge than most contributors here on the forums.

                                                      I’ve been using the WMR tool every year since it first launched. Been at the tax game since 1996. I’ve never once been ID verified.

                                                        Think about it…even checking your transcripts multiple times..it shows how many times you access the site..agent said WMR is the same
