If I received a notice from the irs for a verification of my identity and I did what was asked and still haven’t received my refund and I also have the child tax credit?

It may take a couple of months before the IRS issues your refund--or maybe less.   It can take up to nine weeks after verifying identity to get a refund.   TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.  Only the IRS can give you any information.   You can watch the IRS refund site to see what it shown there.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

After verifying your identity, the IRS typically takes up to 6 weeks to process your tax return and issue you a refund. Because you have the Child Tax Credit, extra review time may occur. 

You can track your refund using this link. Where's My Refund?, You will need your social security number, your filing status and the exact whole dollar amount of your refund. So have a copy of your tax return on hand.

You can also view your IRS Tax Transcript for the most up-to-date information on your tax return status using your IRS.gov online account. You may have another letter regarding the Child Tax Credit to review, as it can trigger additional fraud checks. If you have an IRS Online Account or if you would like to create one, you can use this link IRS Online Account.
