Oh.... if you had to ID Verify, you may have a significant wait. A FAQ at the IRS website states that after ID verification, it "may" take up to 9 weeks to finish processing. However, it doesn't necessarily take that long. For many, it can be a lot sooner than that. That's why they say "may" and "up to." No one can tell you when that will be. You'll just have to keep watching the WMR tool every few days.
