Hello everyone,
This forum thread is dedicated to discussing and sharing experiences related to IRS verification letters and the process of verifying oneself with the IRS. Whether you’re still waiting to be verified, have received your letter, or have successfully completed the verification process, we invite you to share your story.
Please comment below with:
– The date you filed your taxes,
– The date your filing was accepted,
– When the IRS stated they sent out the verification letter,
– Whether you’ve received the letter, including the posted date on the letter and your location,
– If you’ve verified (online or in person), and how long after verification you received your refund.This information is incredibly valuable as it can help all of us gauge the timelines for verification and refund receipt, especially for those of us who are still waiting for our letters or refunds.
**My Experience:**
I’ll kick things off with my own experience. I filed my taxes on 01/26/2024 and was accepted on 01/29/2024. The message to verify appeared on 01/31/2024 and remained until 02/08/2024, when it changed to “return received.” It then reverted back to a verification prompt on 02/09/2024 and has stayed that way since. I reside in PA. On 02/20/2024, I logged into my IRS account and requested a new letter be sent out. I’m currently awaiting this letter. I also called the taxpayer protection line on the same day and was advised to call back on 02/26/2024 if the letter hasn’t arrived. Furthermore, I’ve scheduled an appointment for March 8th, 2024.Your contributions can greatly assist those in similar situations by setting expectations and providing reassurance. Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping to build a supportive community here.

F/A TT on 02/17. A week later noticed the notification to verify tax return. No codes ever, marked no return filed. Requested letter twice from my side and once from hubby and finally received it today 03/25, dated 03/19. I successfully verified online and notifications have disappeared. We are 05. Hoping to see movement this week but hopefully by next. All we had to answer was our current agi, refund amount and last 4 of our direct deposit info.

Been waiting since 1/29 with verify status since 1/31. After 3 letters supposedly sent I finally went to the IRS open house on 3/16 in Cincinnati. Waited for 2 hours in line (Showed up 20 minutes before opening) just to have them verify my ID in about 5 minutes. Man was nice and told me to wait the typical 90 days but said it could be sooner. Still no update to my WMR or transcripts though.

Praying my next update is to let you guys know i got the 811 release code and 846…. Fingers crossed but rep said 180 from the call i made today but then tells me to call back in 4 weeks no update .. that makes no sense, are you just saying 180 but yet tell me to call back in 4 weeks. She said the 180 days to verify wages but i faxed that 2/14 and also checked SS acc and all my 2023 information is there.

Called 2/20 which was when the 21 days where up. Was told a letter was sent out 2/9 to verify. I never received it. Called back 2/23 and was told I could do it in person as I didn’t have a letter.
Went today, 3/7 to verify in person. I will update when anything changes -

March 4, 2024 at 8:12 am #4538855Angie
Update-Attempted another call this morning to make an appt and was advised she doesn’t show where i need to come into the office and the 12C-wages should have been my verification . I told her Identity verification but she doesn’t see where i need to do that and that 21 days from 2/23 but my letter says 6/8 weeks from date they received my faxes and that was 2/14 so i guess my faxes didn’t get touched until then. I am praying for an update this week i have never waited this long

March 3, 2024 at 7:30 pm #4538826Artic-Turtle
I’m assuming ours must be a w-2 verification?? Hubby and I filed and accepted on 2/17. We are always weekly. My wmr says still processing and hubbys says “is being processed “ with tax topic 152, still as of today. On both our id portals, under notifications it states we need to verify information before a 2023 tax return can be processed. No letters sent, no actions asked on wmr. Bottom two transcripts show woth as of date of 3/11, no return filed.

Hi everyone ! Update Here: So as of 03/03/2024 no verification letter has been received when I was told the verification letter was sent on 02/20/2024.
I do have a verification appointment on 03/08/2024 so hopefully the letter comes before then if not I have the appointment. I will be sure to keep all updated through-out my journey. See you all on 03/08/2024 -
March 3, 2024 at 7:09 am #4538803Angie

@KWilson , Do PA state returns really take 12 to 16 weeks to come back?
No dependants or eitc on my PA return but when i called it told.me 12-16 weeks.
NJ said don’t check the return until 4 weeks after it has been accepted so I’m jist curious thae actual timing for PA state returns?
-
February 29, 2024 at 7:29 am #4538543Rick
I guess my message didn’t go through. I was wondering if PA really takes 14-18 weeks to see your return. No eitc or ctc.

No updates for me yet (Filed 1/18, accepted 1/19, received verify letter on 2/23). I am usually a weekly, so hoping it updates tonight or Friday, but I have never had anything take this long and I am so frustrated with the general lack of updates over five weeks now.
-
February 28, 2024 at 11:33 pm #4538512
I received my 5071C letter today to verify I answered three questions and was done hopefully I see a update soon

February 28, 2024 at 8:07 am #4538464Angie
Filed 1/29
Letter for wages 2/13 completed the request
2/14 back to processing
2/23 WMR went to ID verify and attempted and system says we are unable to provided assist
Called Friday and Tuesday both reps say don’t see where I need to do that but to wait 60 days from 2/14 from date of fax to call back if no update which would be 4/14
As of date is 2/26/24 nothing but head of house on transcript and didn’t think that date would pass with no updates … so confused -
February 27, 2024 at 9:00 am #4538376
Filed 1/18, Accepted 1/22.

February 27, 2024 at 8:09 am #4538375Angie

Spoke to someone today and was told they see the verification process on my system but they see no letter sent . I told him I replied to the letter asking for wages back on 2/14 and again he told me 60 days no update on transcripts and my as of date is 2/26/24 and nothing has changed but he said the department has my information I faxed and to wait ughhh this is so frustrating

I filed on 1/18, was accepted 1/19. No updates to WMR until last week of January, it switched to the delayed beyond normal processing. Then I received a notice through IRS account online that a letter had been sent to verify identity. Received letter on 2/23, it was mailed from Austin on 2/13.
Does anyone know how long it has taken after verifying online for transcripts to update? -
February 26, 2024 at 7:16 am #4538277Angie

I filed on 1/16 and was accepted on 1/18 (on PATH). I got a letter on 2/20 that said it was mailed on 2/16. I verified over the phone on the 20th. The lady asked me basic questions about myself, but asked a few questions about 2022 as well. I don’t have access to transcripts, so can’t say how that looks. WMR has said my info doesn’t match since I filed (no change on wmr since verifying).

February 25, 2024 at 1:50 pm #4538252
No problem , and I will most certainly keep everyone updated
