810 Freeze Code after Amendment - Filed in January, Amendment Received in May - How Long is the Wait?

Filed my taxes back in January and just checked my transcript today. Got hit with an 810 freeze code. My tax preparer submitted an amendment in April but looks like IRS didnt receive it until May. Anyone know how long these adjustments typically take to process?

Tax specialist here. The 810 freeze code is typically placed when the IRS needs to review your return more thoroughly, especially with amendments. Since your amendment was filed in January but received in May, you're looking at about 20 weeks from the May receipt date. The 810 code means they're verifying information, which is standard for amended returns. I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcripts and can give you a really specific timeline based on your exact situation. It'll show you what's causing delays and what you can do to speed things up.

Quick update: 810 freezes are taking longer than usual rn because of the new verification process. The tool I mentioned (taxr.ai) can help track this stuff automatically

Tax professional here. The 810 freeze code means the IRS is reviewing your return for potential identity theft or fraud. This is actually pretty common with amended returns. Currently, the IRS is taking 20-24 weeks to process amendments, but the freeze code might add another 60-90 days to that timeline.

omg 😭 thats like forever! do they at least pay interest on the money they're holding?

0 coins

Yes, they do pay interest! Current rate is 7% annually, calculated quarterly. Silver lining I guess 🤷‍♀️

Hey, instead of playing the waiting game, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's causing delays and when to expect your refund. It costs $4.99 but its worth every penny for the peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

sounds interesting. does it actually work tho? or is it just another scam?

0 coins

Not a scam at all! It uses AI to read your transcript and breaks down everything - tells you what each code means, estimates processing time, and even suggests solutions. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself

I actually work at a tax firm and we've been seeing tons of 810 codes lately. Best advice is to verify your identity on ID.me if you haven't already. Sometimes that speeds up the process.

already did that when I first filed 😔

Then unfortunately its just a waiting game. The system is super backed up rn
