The good news is yes I am ID.me verified with the IRS since early last year when I needed to pull up some records for a mortgage application. I also have opted to receive all notifications via email.
I have been keeping an eye on my IRS notifications and have yet to see anything in regards to needing to verify my identity but will keep you posted if anything comes up.
I just checked the Reddit forums your referencing and I’m seeing it could take several weeks to process your refund if the IRS requires identification documents which I hope is not the case…
