$11,721 Refund Still Frozen with Code 810 Despite Processed Amended Return and Completed 180-Day Review Period

The transcript shows a complex tax situation with a significant frozen refund of $11,721.00. Your original return was filed by the April 15, 2024 deadline and processed May 20, 2024, followed by an amended return processed on July 8, 2024. Here's how your refund amount breaks down: - $873 from W-2 withholdings - $2,826 from Earned Income Credit - $8,338 from an additional credit - Less $316 in tax liability The code 810 refund freeze from March 14, 2024 is preventing the release of your funds, despite having: - Zero penalties accrued - No self-employment tax liability - A completed Head of Household filing with 2 exemptions - Verified AGI of $28,884 and taxable income of $8,084 - Additional tax assessment of $0 as of September 30, 2024 The presence of transaction code 971/977 confirms your amended return was received and forwarded for processing. Since your 180-day review period has expired and all verifications are complete, you'll need direct contact with IRS to release the freeze. The amended return hotline at opening hours is your best option for reaching an examiner who can help remove the freeze code.

Stuck in the same boat, day 165 here 😭

The IRS is such a joke fr. They take our money quick but take forever to give it back smh

Have you tried contacting your local Taxpayer Advocate? They helped me break through when I was stuck

that refund freeze from march is sus. did you get any letters about identity verification?

I feel your frustration! With your 180-day review period officially complete and identity already verified, you're in a strong position to get that freeze lifted. Since the amended return hotline (1-866-464-2050) can have long waits, here are a few additional strategies: 1. Try calling right at 7 AM EST when lines open - much shorter wait times 2. If you can't get through, try the general IRS line (1-800-829-1040) and ask to be transferred to Accounts Management 3. Document every call with date/time/reference numbers for your records Your transcript clearly shows everything processed correctly - the $11,721 refund is legitimate based on your withholdings, EIC, and credits minus your tax liability. The March freeze code 810 should have been automatically released after identity verification, but sometimes requires manual intervention. If phone calls don't work within a week, definitely escalate to Taxpayer Advocate Service now that you're past the 180-day threshold. They have more authority to resolve frozen refunds when all requirements have been met. Hang in there - you've done everything right and that refund should be released soon! 🤞
