I did this and it indicates wait of up to 9 months for processing.
What number type of letter was it--such as 5071C, 5747C, 5447C, or something else? The number is usually in one of the right corners, either top or bottom.
Are you sure it said "9 months?" On the IRS website there are FAQs for those verification letters listed above that say after verifying it can take "up to 9 weeks" for processing. But that doesn't necessarily mean it will take that long. If you can still see what it mentioned about the time frame, I'd look again to be sure it didn't say "weeks." I realize that 9 weeks, too, is a long time to wait, but better than 9 months. I can provide you the FAQ link if you state the letter number type.
If you paid for the "get refund up to 5 day early" option, that charge may (hopefully) drop off, or if it doesn't, you can ask for a refund.
Also be aware of this:
Did you pay upfront with credit/debit card at the time of filing, or did you choose to pay your TurboTax fees out of the Federal refund?
The following only applies if you chose to pay out of Federal refund. If you already paid upfront, this will not apply to you.
If you did not pay upfront and chose instead to pay the TurboTax fees out of the Federal refund, then obviously the Federal refund is going to be delayed. So when that happens, at some point in time TurboTax will want to be paid. So if you used that option, they will likely start sending you emails instructing you to go ahead and pay the fees. And if not paid after a certain time, they will debit your bank account for their fees. So don't disregard any emails. Phone TurboTax Support with any questions or problems concerning the fees.
