This might sound crazy but did you accidentally claim any pandemic-related credits? The IRS is heavily scrutinizing those and it could explain the delay, especially combined with an IP PIN.
I was stuck in IP PIN verification hell for months before I finally got a callback from an IRS agent through claimyr.com. The agent found an issue that was never gonna resolve itself without intervention. Talking to someone directly was the only thing that fixed my situation and got my refund released. Worth every penny when you consider I was waiting on a $6k refund.
Pro tip: while you're waiting for the verification letter, make sure you have the documents you'll need to verify ready to go. You'll need your previous year's tax return, the current return info, photo ID, and possibly utility bills or other proof of address. That way you're ready as soon as the letter arrives.
Anybody else notice how they can magically process your payment in 2-3 business days but need a year to process anything that benefits you? 𤔠system

I work in tax resolution and see this all the time. The IRS is required by their internal policies to give maximum timeframes, but identity verification usually takes 6-12 weeks in practice. If you want to speed things up, call the number on your notice and request to verify over the phone, or make an appointment at your local Taxpayer Assistance Center. Both options can resolve verification in a single day rather than waiting for mail correspondence.
Don't forget about the advance child tax credit payments from last year, I got flagged for review cuz i forgot to report the payments id already received. That could be whats up with yours too.
My baby was just born this year so I haven't received any payments yet.

Check for an 846 code on your transcript - that's the refund issued code. Once you see that with a date, you'll know exactly when your money is coming. The 570/971 combo without an 846 means you're still in verification, but now that your wages are showing up, the 846 should appear soon!

I've learned that all the IRS codes seem scary but are mostly just normal processing steps. The system is ancient and inefficient but it does (usually) work eventually. Your case sounds like standard income verification that's now complete. Deep breaths - your money is coming soon!
