Dr. Friday explains that the IRS may send letters asking you to verify your identity after a return is filed. She warns that ignoring these notices can delay processing and prevent refunds from being released.

G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.
And yes, the IRS is expanding. In fact, I can probably say five, maybe even eight of my people got love letters saying something like, you need to verify your information. A tax return was filed, but we need to confirm it is you who filed it. This is the kind of information you’re getting.
Those are not fraudulent letters. And if you have not responded, they will not process that tax return, which means if you filed it, you get a letter and you don’t respond to them, you’ll never get the refund, or you’ll not get proof that it was received on time.
You need to respond, and if you need help, go to our website, which is drfriday.com.
