(Id verified at my local office) As like many others who have received this letter, i to had this happen.  I received my letter on feb 13th 2017 and id verified at my local office on the 14th. Checked my irs app today and bars reappeared today (4days later) my refund was approved and will be sent by the 23rd. (Total of 9 days). I watched this conversation since febuary 12th and it gave me hope. Thanks for sharing everyone. I return the favor by sharing my 4883c experiance. I hope my story helps. Glad it was not 9 weeks like agent said.

What all do they verify when you go to office if you don't mind me asking?

[djohnson]

what all do they ask you for, to bring when you went to your local office?

[marcyskhiry]

They want social security card , drivers license or goverment issued id , w_2 and your return from last year if you filed and this years return. They just want to make sure you are the one who filed your return. I would also have your account number and routing number to make sure its all correct if you have direct deposit.  Hope that helps.

Okay my problem is I never received my letter because I forgot to add my door number on my return.I had multiple reps tell that because I forgot to put my door number that I won't be able to get the letter and there is nothing I can do , and there is other reps that told me they could and asked for the address and told me I would receive it on particular dates and NEVER got one of the reps I spoke to ask me my father's name my mother's name my B-Day and social my daughter name B-Day and social I didn't understand why that can't be all .. I guess with out the letter nothing will work??? Or is there a way without the letter ... please help

You have to have the control number from the letter to verify.

[tiffkennoah2011]

But since they are saying that I won't receive the letter because they can't go back and add my door number that I for got to put on tax return onto the letter , what should I do ??
