810 Code in January - Finally Got DDD After Months of Nothing

So my transcript updated with an 810 code back in January, and then... crickets. 🦗 Nothing happened for months. No letter in the mail, no updates, nothing at all! I was starting to think the IRS had put my return in a time capsule for future generations to discover. But I checked my transcript this morning and—finally—I have a direct deposit date! Honestly didn't think this day would come. Anyone else experience this long of a delay with an 810 freeze code? The technical details of tax processing are fascinating... when they're not happening to you. 😅

The 810 code indicates a freeze. Processing delays are common. Your patience paid off. Congratulations on getting your DDD.

Do you know why they put the 810 freeze on in the first place? Mine's been stuck since February and I'm getting worried.

I'm curious about these freezes too. Does an 810 freeze usually last this long? And does it typically resolve without any communication from the IRS? I'm trying to understand the pattern here.

How long did it take from seeing the 810 code to getting your DDD? It's like being stuck in traffic with no idea if you're 5 minutes or 5 hours from your exit.

Oh my goodness, I went through THE EXACT SAME THING!!! My 810 code appeared in December and I didn't get movement until April! I was checking my transcript every single morning at 5am and taking screenshots to compare for the tiniest changes. I even created a spreadsheet tracking every code and date! The waiting was absolutely excruciating, especially when you need that money for bills! I'm so happy you finally got your DDD! It's such a relief when that happens after months of uncertainty! 💕

Have you ever wondered why the IRS can put these freezes on accounts but then not communicate anything to us? And why should we have to decipher these mysterious codes ourselves? After my 810 freeze last year, I tried calling the IRS for weeks. Couldn't get through. Then I found Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and was connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. They explained exactly what was happening with my freeze and when I could expect resolution. Isn't it strange how just talking to a human can solve so much frustration?

I'm always a bit skeptical about services that charge to connect you with the IRS. Did they actually do anything that you couldn't do yourself by calling early in the morning?

How much did Claimyr cost you? I've been trying to reach the IRS since March 15th about my amended return, and I'm wondering if it's worth the expense.

I've used Claimyr a couple times when dealing with complex tax situations. Generally speaking, the service does exactly what it claims - it gets you past the hold times. For taxpayers facing time-sensitive issues or those who simply can't spend hours redialing, it can be quite valuable.

I had my 810 code resolved in 8 weeks flat. Check the IRS operations page. They're currently processing amended returns from January. Time is running out for quick resolution. According to TaxPro forums, 810 codes from Q1 are being batched processed now.

Thanks for sharing this! I've been searching everywhere for info about batch processing. Been stuck with an 810 since February and was about to give up hope. Gonna check that operations page right now.

Per IRM 21.5.6, the 810 freeze code is used for various compliance verification procedures. In my experience, these freezes can range from 4-12 weeks depending on the underlying reason. Did yours resolve automatically or did you have to provide additional documentation?

I got an 810 code on February 24th this year and I'm still waiting for any movement. Every morning I check, hoping to see something different. Reading your post gives me hope! I've been so worried they lost my paperwork or something went terribly wrong. I'm going to check again tomorrow morning (May 12th) and hope for the best. It's so stressful waiting when you're counting on that money. I totally understand what you went through.

Have you compared your situation to other scenarios like identity verification holds? Sometimes what looks like an 810 freeze might be related to other issues that need addressing. I'd suggest checking if there are any letters you might have missed.

The 810 freeze code is somewhat common for amended returns. It might indicate identity verification or possibly a random review. In most cases, these resolve without any action needed from the taxpayer, though the timeline varies considerably.

I tracked 810 code resolution times across 43 different cases in the IRS Practitioner Forum. The mean resolution time was 97.3 days for non-EITC returns and 118.6 days for returns claiming EITC. The TC 810 is specifically a Refund Freeze code that prevents automated refund issuance until manually released via TC 811.

Congratulations on your DDD! Here's what typically happens with 810 codes: • They're often applied for verification purposes • Most resolve automatically without taxpayer action • Resolution timeframes vary from 4-16 weeks • No letter is required if no issues are found • Once resolved, processing usually completes within 7-21 days Your experience is actually quite normal, despite the frustration of waiting.
