Did you get an IRS letter such as a 5071C instructing you that you have to ID Verify with the IRS before they can finish processing your return?   If so, is the code you refer to not in that letter?   Or have you net yet received a letter with the instructions and 14-digit code?

What happens after you submit the 14-digit verification code to the IRS? What are the next steps and how long might it take to receive a tax refund?
