810 Freeze Code & Tax Topic 151 - Tax Advocate Success Stories?
Been stuck with an 810 freeze code on my transcript and Tax Topic 151 on Where's My Refund for 3 months now. Getting desperate and thinking about reaching out to a tax advocate. Has anyone gone this route and actually got results? Starting to lose hope here.

The 810 freeze code indicates the IRS has flagged your return for potential identity verification. Tax Topic 151 means they're reviewing your return for accuracy. These often go hand in hand. A Tax Advocate can definitely help, but they usually only take cases with financial hardship or if you've waited more than 30 days for a response. You might want to try calling the Identity Verification hotline first at 800-830-5084.

•Ugh that's so frustrating! Try calling right when they open at 7am EST. That's usually when the queue is shortest.

Got a TA last month and they actually helped! Took about 3 weeks but my freeze was finally lifted. Don't give up hope!

•How did you qualify for a TA? Did you have to prove hardship?

Tax pro here. The 810/151 combo usually means they need more documentation from you. Have you checked your mail carefully? They sometimes send letters that look like junk mail. Also, I've been recommending taxr.ai to my clients lately - it's an AI tool that breaks down your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and what steps to take. It's seriously revolutionizing how we handle these delays.
