I receieved letter from irs letter 4883c . verify identity. i called and all went good. now they say up to 9 weeks before i get return ?

[michellepseely]

Form 4883 on Friday 2-17-17. I verified my identity by telephone on 2-20-2017 Presidents Day.   WMR website stayed on still processing until Saturday 2-25-2017 when it showed the orange bar, REFUND APPROVED and should be receiving my deposit by March 1st, 2017.  I also ordered my "refund transcript" (after I verified my id) on 2-22-17 and it went through so it's possible that it somehow did help me.  Wishing you all much luck.  I definitely feel your pain, but very hopeful everything will be alright.   🙂

I ordered my transcripts before i even got a verification letter. Spoke to irs rep who told me they were about to send my refund then it got flagged. Now there has been no activity on wmr. I filed jan 17th accepted jan 18th verified feb 18th (yes they were open on a saturday). Called in feb 24th to be told they have to process it all over again and i need to wait the 9 weeks. How is this possible?

I'm so frustrated. I still don't have an,update after verifying on 2/17. Mine says we have received your return and it is being processed. Note- I filed 1/17 and due to the eic and actc i had to wait and verify my identity. Last night I was able to order both,my transcripts. Hoping I get my refund asap.

[slattimore808]

Im in the same boat. My status says processing

[jenlynnerandall]

I'm so worried. I was able to order both transcripts but still nothing. It is so frustrating

[slattimore808]

Same here i just re ordered my transcripts. I already received the first one i ordered. I called and asked if my transcripts are complete why isnt my return. She claims the have to start all over if you verify.

I can explain quickly .. I am in the same boat ID verified the 20th and called Friday the 24th and was informed by the IRS that I had been flagged a 2nd time for additional review and there is nothing I can or need to do and they have 9 weeks to process .. So if you did not get approved this weekend I can assure you because you were flagged a 2 nd time with that being said hopefully it will be just like these other people and instead of the end of April it will only be an additional week . And yes I was able to order transcripts so that is a myth on getting them back.

I just wanted to give others some hope, I've been checking these message boards every day seeing if anyone else recieved their refund after responding to this letter. On 2/3 my refund was accepted, I claimed the EITC, then on around 2/8  the bars on WMR dissapered and it simply said "your refund is being processed" etc etc. I knew that wasn't good, I've never had that turn into a good sign. Then on 2/18 I recieved this letter, saying I needed to call and confirm my identity. 2/23 I called and spoke with probably the sweetest woman working for the IRS, she was beyond patient, understanding, and calming. I was only on hold for 3 minutes before reaching someone, call late around 5:30, that's the key!

I answered all the typical questions, mothers maiden name, city born, prior years tax returns  (I could not access my last year's return, the woman let me use another years return from 2014 instead) she then informed me my refund was being placed back in processing and it would take 9 weeks, worst case scenario, or I'd get a letter in the mail stating they need more information. Ugh I was devastated, since I had a similar experience a few years ago and didn't see my refund for almost a year..

Every day I was checking after I called, to see any change in my refund. Never really expecting any change, checked on Saturday 2/25, and the bars were back on WMR!! It states my refund was approved and will be deposited on March 1 !!! So anyone else going through this, there is hope and it will not take months to see your refund! It was only a few days after I called to confirm that my refund was then approved, thank god!!!

[jenlynnerandall]

How long did it take for you to get the second letter after verifying if there was a problem or if under review? It has been 9 days and I haven't received another letter after I received the 4883 letter and verified my identity on the 17th. Someone help.

Verified mine on 2/6 with IRS. Still says processing. How do I order transcripts?

[slattimore808]

Irs.gov click on order transcript

[thecheap1]

Seems I can't order transcript as my address doesn't match up. I moved from Virginia to Illinois in December so I am guessing this is why I triggered the letter. Anyone else having an issue with getting transcript? Is this a bad sign? Seems I have waited a week longer than a few on here for mine to be processed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your previous answer slattimore808

@thecheap1 I never could order a transcript online bc my address didn't match and I got my DDD on 2/25

[cwb_091969]

Filed 1/27 id Verified 2/18 ddd on 2/25 for 3/1. Stressful stuff will update when funds hit.

[thecheap1]

Would it be recommended to call the IRS as mine has still not processed. I did get the audit defense package with my taxes should I contact them first? Just checked the wmr site and I still have the processing info.
