$11,736 Tax Refund Frozen Since April 5th - Code 810 Freeze On Transcript With Multiple Credits Applied But No Movement

I'm absolutely frustrated with my refund situation. My refund of $11,736 has been frozen since April 5th, 2024 with absolutely no movement. This breaks down as: RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2024 PROCESSING DATE Apr. 29, 2024 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20241505 04-29-2024 $959.00 76211-465-91571-4 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2024 -$3,359.00 810 Refund freeze 04-05-2024 $0.00 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2024 -$932.00 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2024 -$8,404.00 I called the IRS today and they literally hung up on me! According to my transcript, they filed my return on April 29th (cycle 20241505) and all my credits were applied on April 15th including my W-2 withholdings of $3,359, plus credits of $932 and $8,404. But there's this refund freeze code 810 from April 5th that's just sitting there with $0.00 amount. This is only my second year filing taxes and it's been a complete nightmare. I've tried reaching out to my tax preparer to see if we can amend something that might be causing the freeze, but they're completely ghosting me. The processing date shows April 29th, 2024, and the return due date is April 15th, 2024, but I'm still stuck in this horrible limbo. I don't understand why there's a freeze dated April 5th, which is before my processing date but after I submitted my return. I'm wondering if I should just give up on this year's refund and focus on doing 2024 properly... Has anyone else dealt with this freeze code 810 situation? I'm starting to lose hope on ever seeing this money. It's especially frustrating seeing all these transaction codes (150, 806, 810, 766) on my account transcript but no actual refund hitting my bank account.

The transcript shows several key transactions affecting your $11,736 refund. The 810 freeze code was placed on April 4th, before any other transactions were processed. While your withholdings ($2,359) and credits ($832 and $9,404) were applied on April 15th, and your tax return amount of $859 was processed on April 29th (cycle 20241505), the freeze remains active. The chronological sequence is important here - the freeze was placed first, suggesting the IRS flagged your return for review before processing the credits. This is particularly common with returns claiming substantial credits like yours, where the combined credits total over $10,000. Your processing date of April 29th, 2024, indicates when the IRS completed initial processing, but the existing freeze means they're still reviewing the return's accuracy. The presence of code 150 confirms your return is in the system, while code 806 verifies your withholdings have been recorded. The two 766 codes represent your separate credits being applied. You'll need to wait for the 810 freeze to be lifted before your refund can be released. Unfortunately, there's no standard timeframe for how long this review might take.

Tax pro here - those credits on your transcript are pretty substantial. Makes sense why they're reviewing it. Def don't abandon it, thats a lot of money to leave on the table!
