I had the identity delay last year just because there was a glitch in the IRS’ system. So they had to mail me a letter twice (the 1st one I never received) then when I got the 2nd one 4 months later, they made me enter the code on the letter into their website. After that my return got approved 2 weeks later. Total process took 5 months bc I filed in January and didn’t get my refund until June. They said there was a glitch since I filed before they were accepting returns
