On your letter if you are unable to verify your identity online, it will have a phone number so you can verify over the phone.

The IRS adds a week for mailing thus with direct deposit it should not be more than 8 weeks unless they find something else.

 

Understanding Your Letter 5071C or 6331C: states: What happens after I successfully verify?

If we successfully verify your identity, we’ll process your tax return. It will take up to 9 weeks to receive your refund or credit any overpayment to your account. However, if we find other problems, we’ll contact you again. This will delay your refund more.
