Will the 810 freeze be removed now that I've received and completely verified my identity per the 5071c letter; will I now get my refund?

Yes, the freeze should be removed, assuming that the verification you went through proves you're the person named on the return, and that you personally filed the return.

If that's the case, your return will be processed and you should get your refund.

Unfortunately… after successful verification, it takes about 6 weeks to complete processing.

Please see the TurboTax article "Tips for Handling Identity Verification Requests From the IRS" for additional information.

Today I received a second IRS Form 5071C, dated February 8, just three days after the first one. I contains the same, exact Control Number, so do I need to go to the website and verify my ID again?
