I received a letter from the state of Illinois saying I need to verify my identity. Will that prolong my refund? I'm hearing the IRS takes 9 weeks to put it through but the IRS isn't the one asking me to verify

It may delay your refund with the state. The best way to verify if it would delay your refund would be to contact your Ilinois State tax department. They will be able to answer this with certanty.

How is driver's license used to verify my identity?

In an effort to help protect your identity and fight tax fraud, the IRS and many state tax offices are now asking that tax filers provide their driver’s license or state-issued ID number.

Providing this info is not required to file your taxes. However, in some states, omitting this info may delay the processing of your return.
