2022 Tax Return Stuck with 810 Freeze Code Since March 10th - IRS Transcript Shows "Return Not Present" Despite Filing

My transcript has been frozen since March 10th, 2023 with code 810 (refund freeze) and I've had absolutely no movement at all. Looking at my 2022 transcript that I pulled on April 5th, 2023 (tracking number 104330040402), everything is showing zeros. I'm at my wit's end with this situation. Let me share exactly what my transcript shows: ``` Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data Request Date: 04-05-2023 Response Date: 04-05-2023 Tracking Number: 104330040402 Account Transcript FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31. 2022 TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: [redacted] ANY MINUS SIGN SHOWN BELOW SIGNIFIES A CREDIT AMOUNT ... ACCOUNT BALANCE: 0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 27, 2023 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 27, 2023 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): 0.00 ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED ** EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Single ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: TAXABLE INCOME: TAX PER RETURN: SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT No tax return filed 810 Refund freeze 03-10-2023 $0.00 ``` As you can see, it's showing $0.00 account balance, $0.00 accrued interest, and $0.00 accrued penalty as of March 27, 2023. The system clearly shows "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" and "No tax return filed" even though I definitely filed as Single, which is correctly reflected in the filing status section. What's extremely frustrating is that there's not even any AGI or taxable income showing up - all those fields are completely blank. The only transaction showing is code 810 "Refund freeze" dated March 10th, 2023 with $0.00 amount. I'm getting really frustrated with this wait. My transcript has been stuck in this exact same state since early March with no changes whatsoever. The freeze is just sitting there with no explanation or movement. I check the transcript regularly but it's just the same freeze code staring back at me every time. Anyone else dealing with this specific 810 freeze code or know what's going on? Has anyone successfully resolved this situation where it shows "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" despite clearly having filed?

The transcript from April 5th, 2023 (tracking #104330040402) confirms your 810 freeze code situation. While you filed as Single, the system is showing "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" and no financial data - your adjusted gross income, taxable income, and tax return amounts are all blank. Your account balance, accrued interest, and penalties all show $0.00 as of March 27, 2023. The 810 freeze code that appeared on March 9th, 2023 is particularly significant. This code indicates the IRS has flagged your return for additional review, which explains why your return isn't showing as processed in the system yet. This type of freeze is typically implemented when the IRS needs to: - Verify taxpayer identity - Confirm reported income - Conduct a manual review of the return The blank fields and "No tax return filed" status, despite you having filed, suggests your return is still in this review queue and hasn't been fully processed into the system yet. Unfortunately, 810 freezes don't have a standard resolution timeframe, but they do require resolution before any refund can be issued.

Unfortunately could be 120 days or more. Each case is different depending on what triggered the freeze

I feel your pain! I've been dealing with a similar 810 freeze since February and it's absolutely maddening. The "RETURN NOT PRESENT" message while knowing you filed is the worst part - makes you question everything. Have you tried requesting a wage and income transcript to see if your W-2/1099 info is showing up correctly in their system? Sometimes the freeze happens when there's a mismatch between what you reported and what employers submitted to the IRS. Also, if you haven't already, try calling the main IRS line (1-800-829-1040) early in the morning around 7am when they open - I've had better luck getting through then. Ask specifically about the 810 freeze and if there's any additional documentation they need from you. Sometimes they can at least tell you what triggered it even if they can't remove it immediately. Hang in there - I know it's frustrating but these do eventually get resolved! 🤞

Thanks for the advice! I haven't tried pulling the wage and income transcript yet - that's a really good point about checking for mismatches. Did you find any discrepancies when you pulled yours? The early morning call tip is gold too, I've been trying to call during lunch breaks and obviously that's peak time. Will definitely try the 7am approach this week. Did they give you any insight into what specifically triggered your 810 freeze when you called? This waiting game is brutal but good to know others are getting through it eventually! 🙏
