After you file

@pixiecoats Did you change the order of the names on a joint return----"I used my own name to file..."?     When you file joint tax returns the IRS likes for the names to be consistent.   That may have triggered the request to verify your identity, although the request can also be random.   Did you follow the instructions and verify identity right away?   It can take about nine weeks after verifying identity to get your refund.   TurboTax does not get any information after you file your return, so you will need to watch the IRS refund site for information.
