I hope you find this information helpful.
The IRS selected me to verify my identify (IRS Form Letter 5071c). On February 22, 2017, I called (800) 830-5084 and answered a series of question to verify my identity. They told me it would take up to 9 weeks to receive a refund or a letter. On February 25, 2017 (3 days later), Where Is My Refund (WMR) gave me a direct deposit date for March 1, 2017.
So for me, it took 3 days after I verified to find out my deposit date.
