I received the same code Saturday and I called to check on it this morning... This year the codes have changed and I was told by the IRS agent that the code is only shown because I filed the EITC and refunds won't be issued until the week of Feb. 27 and my bars should be back soon and just to keep checking back... Fortunately it doesn't mean you have to identify yourself so no need to worry, your bars will be back soon.
So I’m guessing 9001 actually means you have to verify I got the letter and called everything went smooth

@shajay38 I’m confused... I have to wait for a letter to verify. They wouldn’t let me do it over the phone... the lady said I need a letter before I can verify
I filed on the 29th of January and by the 1st of February I had the reference 9001. I called and they stated they would me mailing me a letter to verify my identity. The letter was mailed February 19th and I received it this past Saturday the 23rd. The reason you need the letter is because they ask for the control number on it. The verification process took all of 15 minutes and I was told it will now take up to 9 weeks from today to process my return. I went through this last year and I got my return less than 2 weeks after the verification...I'm hoping for the same luck this year.
Finally received my verification letter today... I will be calling to verify my ID tomorrow
@shajay38 how long did u have to wait for the letter mines was sent the 19th and still nothing
@angelawise45 Well mine was sent out on the 14th and I never received it so I called and told them I never received my letter and it was sent out again on the 22nd and I received it yesterday... Give it until Friday and if you haven't received it just call them and they'll resend it then hopefully youll receive that one...
@shajay38 I’ll wait til Friday ... this waiting game for a letter is crap
@angelawise45 I know how you feel but the address you used on your tax return should be the address they sent it to... I hope you get it before then because it does get frustrating not knowing what's going on...
@shajay38 they didn’t say anything was wrong with my taxes but just that I have to verify when the letter comes
@angelawise45 There wasn't anything wrong with mine either.. I was told I was randomly chosen to verify myself... I verified this morning and the lady was very nice "thank goodness" and I was told that I verified everything correctly...
Hi I have a question for the people to people that were getting the Colts 9001 where did the irs Verification letter come from it was it out of Lansing I’m in Michigan
Has any one else updated i filed 1/16/19 and no letter or anything
Yes I filed 1/31 and accepted 2/1 then updated to code 9001 a week ago on Friday morning. Then yesterday morning I just updated and went back to bars with we have received your tax return and it is being processed and tax Topic 152. Has anyone else had this same thing happen? I haven’t received a letter and haven’t called them either.
