The IRS seems to be putting this new step into the process for many people to help cut down on Tax refund fraud. Several states have also implemented new ID verification protocols for people to get their refunds as well. This is not a TurboTax thing, it is happening with all providers due to the amount of ID theft that has been occurring over the past several years. Once a person has verified, they are getting a message saying it will take up to 9 more weeks for their refund to be processed. The selection of who has to be verified seems to be random.
