How long does it take to get refund after identity verification?

[kimisewin]

@tieraleonardHow long ago have you filed? I been waiting since Feb 17. Had to ID verify on May 7th and was told bs lies that July 9th I would've gotten it. Turns out I my account was not established and they had to fixd it on the phone and establish me. so my 9 weeks re starting all over. its been 2 weeks now and I am waiting for mines to hit my bank account. I am getting " We have received your tax return and it is being processed. " Message. what is your message saying?

[tieraleonard]

I pretty much have the exact same time line and story aside from being “established” what does that mean maybe I need to do that lol

[kimisewin]

@tieraleonard lol its for first-time filers. I was explained to me that, first-time filer you have to verify your identity and have an established account with the IRS. when its establish next year and the year after and so on you get your refund faster.  lol.

Update: this is my ninth week, I just got off the phone with a person and was told " I understand it's your ninth week, but technically your nine weeks aren't up until Thursday and it's only Tuesday. We go by days not weeks, so it's nine weeks from that day, not in general. So I would call us back in two days. And just to give it time to continue processing I'd call back Monday." like what? It's been nine weeks and you want it to continue processing? This is RIDICULOUS. so FYI everyone, when they say 9 weeks it could literally be nine weeks.

I don’t remember thee exact date but beginning of February and then keep getting all these BS notices and at this point I barely check for it it’s freaking ridiculous. It should not take freaking 6 month when most people already received theirs 🙄🙄

@Sheldon918I think they just being lazy and laying around.Its so stressful and annoying waiting for months smh. Hopefully you get good news.

@tieraleonardright!!!!!!! Im with you on that. they need to just give people their refund because dreading on it is so ughhhhh. I am ready for mines but im going to keep positive until then. Again I still got We have received your tax return and it is being processed. -______-

@Sheldon918hopefully you got good news

Nope. I called yesterday and found out I was a victim of identity theft. After waiting the 9 weeks they finally told me the reason I'd not received my tax refund is because I'd already gotten a refund of 800$ on April 5th. I told them I had no idea what they were talking about and they went into detail on how my mailing address was in new Orleans and the refund was direct deposited. I've never been to New Orleans, have no relatives there and I'm from Oklahoma and have been living in dallas for 7 years. So now I have to go through an entire different process of identity theft and there's no telling how long that'll take. I'm over it tbh. Basically when I get my refund it'll be time to file again.

Hey guys so since February 6th I’ve been given the run around between wait the 9weeks, then 60 days then another 60 days and so on. Yesterday I went to go file my city taxes and he brought to my attention that my employer put the wrong social security on my w2 so now the irs is sending me info saying I need to provide all info I have Friday . I’m so happy I finally resolved this issue and I’m praying that I get my return soon. I even got in contact with my old employer to have them fix it all .

To all who post or follow this thread ... the IRS is not being lazy they are just very understaffed due to the yearly budget cuts and the new processing they have to do like all these ID verifications which actually has greatly reduced the income tax fraud which is saving the american taxpayers billions in fraudulent refunds. 

Now if everyone will reach out to their congressperson and demand the IRS be better funded so that they can do the overwhelming job they have to do then maybe something will get done.  I always thought it was interesting that the one real source of income for the US government has its budget cut every year and the workload increased ( IE recent form changes & tax law changes)  but  congress can spend money faster than the IRS can bring it in.  For instance,  for every auditor the IRS has they bring in $10 of tax money for every $1 it costs to employ them ... great rate of return on investment but the congress doesn't see it.

After successful verification, it takes about 6 weeks to complete processing.
