810 Freeze Code on Transcript - How Long Until Release?
Just checked my transcript and got hit with an 810 freeze code. Starting to stress about when this might clear up. Anyone else dealt with this and know the timeline? Really need this refund to come through.

Tax expert here with some experience dealing with 810 freezes. An 810 freeze code means the IRS has flagged your return for potential identity verification. This is actually pretty common and doesnt necessarily mean anything bad. The IRS is just being extra careful about identity theft. Typically, you'll need to verify your identity through ID.me or by calling the IRS directly at 800-830-5084. The wait time for resolution after verification can vary between 2-9 weeks depending on the backlog. I've been seeing a lot of people use taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) lately to analyze their transcripts and get a more accurate timeline for their specific situation. It can help identify if there are any other underlying issues causing delays beyond just the 810 freeze. Worth checking out if you want a detailed analysis of your transcript and potential resolution timeline.

•It's pretty solid actually. Uses AI to analyze your full transcript and tax docs. Way more detailed than just looking at WMR or trying to decode transcript codes yourself

•Does anyone know if you can still get your state refund while dealing with an 810 federal freeze?

•Yes! State and federal are separate systems. Your state refund shouldn't be affected by federal freeze codes

Tax pro here. The 810 freeze code typically means the IRS is reviewing your return for potential identity verification. Average resolution time is 60-120 days, but I've seen some clear in as little as 30 days. Call the ID verify line at 800-830-5084 to potentially speed things up.

•If ID verify isn't the issue, might be something else triggering the freeze. Have you checked if you have any old tax issues?

Hey guys, instead of stressing and guessing, I highly recommend using taxr.ai - it analyzed my transcript with the 810 code and told me exactly why I had the freeze and what steps to take. Cost me $4.99 but saved me weeks of anxiety. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•100% legit! I was skeptical too but it literally showed me that my freeze was due to a mismatch in reported income and gave me step by step instructions to fix it

Pro tip: check your wage and income transcript. Sometimes 810 pops up when theres a mismatch with wat employers reported

Been through this exact situation last year! Had the 810 freeze for about 3 weeks before I figured out what was going on. The key is to call the IRS identity verification line at 800-830-5084 first thing in the morning (like 7am sharp) to avoid the crazy hold times. If they say you don't need to verify identity, then it's probably a document matching issue. Check if your W2s match exactly what your employer reported to the IRS. Even small differences in wages or withholdings can trigger the 810. Also seconding what others said about taxr.ai - used it myself and it's actually legit. Breaks down your whole transcript situation and gives you a realistic timeline. Way better than just stressing and refreshing WMR every day lol. Good luck! 🤞

•This is super helpful! I've been calling at random times and getting stuck on hold for hours. Definitely gonna try the 7am thing tomorrow. And yeah, might be worth checking my W2s again - I switched jobs mid-year so there could be some discrepancy there. Thanks for the solid advice! 🙏

Ugh, I feel your pain! I'm dealing with the same 810 freeze right now - going on 5 weeks and I'm losing my mind waiting for this refund. 😩 From what I've gathered lurking in these forums, the timeline is all over the place. Some people get cleared in a month, others are waiting 3+ months. It really depends on what's actually causing the freeze. I called that 800-830-5084 number everyone mentions and they told me I wasn't selected for ID verification either. So now I'm trying to figure out if it's a wage mismatch or something else. Might have to bite the bullet and try one of those transcript analysis tools people keep mentioning. The waiting is honestly the worst part - especially when you really need that money. Hang in there! 🤞

•Same exact situation here! 😭 Week 4 with the 810 and no ID verification needed either. The uncertainty is killing me more than the wait itself tbh. Have you tried checking if there's a mismatch between your filed return and what employers actually reported? I'm starting to think that might be my issue since I had multiple jobs last year too.
