$15,760 Refund Still Frozen Despite June 571 Resolution Code - Transcript Shows February Freeze & Mysterious 2023 Amendment

I filed my taxes early this year and my refund of $15,760.00 has been stuck since February. I'm getting really frustrated because the IRS seems to be holding my money with no explanation. I just pulled my transcript today (10-15-2024) to see what's going on. Looking at my IRS Account Transcript for tax period Dec. 31, 2023, I can see my account balance is -$15,760.00 with $0.00 in accrued interest and $0.00 in accrued penalties as of Jun. 24, 2024. I'm a single filer with an adjusted gross income of $21,776.00 and taxable income of $7,926.00. My tax per return was only $787.00, but I had $16,547.00 in withholdings which is why my refund is so large. The transcript shows several concerning transaction codes: - Code 150: Tax return filed - cycle 20242005 on 06-03-2024 for $787.00 - Code 806: W-2 or 1099 withholding - dated 04-15-2024 for -$16,547.00 - Code 810: Refund freeze - dated 02-16-2024 for $0.00 - Code 570: Additional account action pending - dated 06-03-2024 for $0.00 - Code 571: Resolved additional account action - dated 06-10-2024 for $0.00 - Code 977: Amended - dated 02-21-2023 for $0.00 What's confusing me is that there's a refund freeze (code 810) from February 16, 2024, then codes 570 (Additional account action pending) from June 3 and 571 (Resolved additional account action) from June 10. There's also a code 977 for an amended return from February 21, 2023, but I didn't file an amended return for that year that I recall. The processing date shows as June 03, 2024, and the return due date or return received date is listed as Apr. 15, 2024. I have zero self-employment tax as both taxpayer and spouse SE taxable income show $0.00. I've never had to revise anything before, and this is really worrying me because this is a huge amount for me. I've been trying to get through to the IRS but can't reach anyone. What's even more frustrating is that my return was filed and processed on June 3rd, 2024, but I still haven't received anything despite it showing the "Resolved additional account action" code on June 10th. Does anyone know what these codes mean together? Why would there be a freeze in February when my return wasn't even processed until June? And why would there be an amended return code from 2023? I'm completely lost and really need this money.

Your tax transcript reveals several key points about your 2023 return status. The significant refund amount (-$15,760.00) is primarily due to your high withholdings of $16,547.00 compared to your actual tax liability of $787.00. This large discrepancy between withholdings and tax owed explains the size of your expected refund. The transcript shows a sequence of important events: - A refund freeze (TC810) was placed on February 16, 2024 - Your return was officially processed (TC150) on June 3, 2024 - An account review (TC570) began on June 3, 2024 - The review was resolved (TC571) on June 10, 2024 While it's positive that the review was completed (indicated by TC571), the original refund freeze (TC810) from February remains in place. Your adjusted gross income of $21,776.00 and taxable income of $7,926.00 appear normal for a single filer, which suggests the freeze might be related to the unusually large refund amount rather than income verification. The presence of a TC977 code from February 21, 2023, indicates there was an amended return filed for a previous tax year, which might be contributing to the additional scrutiny on your current return.
