IRS won't give you your refund status unless you enter the exact amount of refund you filed on Form 1040.
Otherwise, you don't need the number if your tax return was ACCEPTED. You will just wait like the rest of us.
User didn't mention wanting to look up a refund status. His situation may be more involved than just the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool. He said he needs "to verify my identity in order to get my refund," which would require him to take active steps. Perhaps he is referring to an IRS Letter asking him to ID verify and that's one of the questions. If that's the case, then the IRS has put things on hold until identity verified.
