How many people with the Path Message have ordered both transcripts and then recieved a letter for ID verification.

Several people I know have been able to order both transcripts and have the Path message but in the past few days have recieved letters requesting ID, birth certificates W2S SSN (cards) and /or letters of review...   The only problem is that even if you provide everything they need they then say okay your approved but now it'll take up to 9 weeks for your refund.

i filed 1/26 then updated to PATH message that saturday and was able to order account and return transcripts. before it didn't recognize my new address. i received the transcripts through the mail and no IRS letters for me. I've read on other forums a ton of people got these letters and also others like audit or review notices. i doubt ordering transcripts has anything to do with IRS notices though.

I did find out that your Account Transcript updates as the irs processes our returns...so a code will show on the account Transcript if and when any holds or freezes occur including one for ID verification

I have ordered transcripts for 7 years and it has worked every year. I might be one of the lucky ones but I say don't fear ordering transcripts. The IRS is just taking extra steps and you or I might be the unfortunate one. Last year I recall reading so many stories about the ID verification and how it occurred to so many people. Transcripts have helped me so much.

Me too. I like to follow what's going on with my irs file lol

I called today and I was told I have a letter coming as well now nothing changed on my return I have to wait the 14 days for the letter to come

[Maritza2]

Have you noticed any codes on your account Transcript

[annat2017]

I can only get them by mail I called the IRS today and was told

[Maritza2]

I heard on another forum that close to 50% of taxpayers are getting the letters.   Seems like delaying tactics

[Maritza2]

When did you file. If you don't mind me asking @annat2017

[annat2017]

I ordered my transcripts and it had all good codes none stating a letter called today rep asked did I receive a letter I said no then she said oh it just showed up today so I will re send it doesn't make sense why would they have to re send something that just showed up today

[annat2017]

1/26/17 on transcripts cycle code 20170405 and processing date 2/13/17 ordered on 2/1/17

[Maritza2]

Geez. They don't even offer the online id verify anymore. So from 1/26 they didn't figure out you need to verify until today?  I swear they are finding every way possible to delay refunds

[annat2017]

I swear my mind is stressing out over this I feel the rep was wrong I should have got a letter or at least a code on my transcripts before today with everything I have learned

[Maritza2]
