Normally, it can take up
to nine (9) weeks to process and receive your refund after verifying your identity. Please keep in mind this is not a set guaranteed timeline that the IRS has set. Each individual taxpayer's return is different.
For taxpayers who receive the 4883C - the IRS states:
"We received your federal income tax return, but we need more information to verify your identity in order to process your tax return accurately".
What you need to do
- Call the toll-free IRS Identity Verification telephone number at 800-830-5084.
- When you call, you must have:
- This letter
- A prior year tax return
- The tax return for the year the notice is for
- Any supporting documents for each year’s return, such as Forms W-2 or 1099, Schedules C or F, etc.
The toll-free IRS Identity Verification telephone number is available for you to call even if you haven't filed a tax return for this year. However, we can’t discuss any other tax-related information during the call.
