I filed on 1/29 and was accepted on the same day. I received a letter to ID verify on 2/25. ID verified on 2/27. Transcript update on 3/16 with a processing date of 4/6/2020. Please help me understand what is going on.

 

Thanks

From what you posted, the transcript update just means there was an update done on your tax return and they should start processing on 4/6. Continue to monitor the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.

The general timeline of e-filed returns is: Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

If the verification proves you are the person named on the return and that you personally filed the return, the return will be processed. After successful verification, it takes about 6 weeks to complete processing.

 

Respond to all requests from the IRS to validate your identity in order to avoid automatic rejection of what could be a valid tax return.

Here is some additional information regarding the 5071C Letter:

What happens after I verify online or after I call?

We’ll continue processing your return. It will take approximately six weeks to process.
