810 Freeze: Gas Credit on Schedule C causing IRS hold, need to remove and amend
Finally got through to the frivolous department about my refund hold up. They said my Schedule C gas credit is triggering the 810 freeze. Need to amend and remove it, then fax them to lift the freeze. Wanted to let others know if your stuck with this same issue.

Hey there! As a tax professional, I can tell you that the 810 freeze code on your transcript related to the Gas Credit on Schedule C is a pretty serious situation. The IRS is basically flagging potential misreporting of fuel tax credits. They're cracking down hard on this in 2025 because of widespread abuse. You'll need to verify your fuel purchases and business use percentage. If you can't substantiate the credit, you'll definitely need to file an amended return (Form 1040X) to remove it. I'd strongly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your transcript and get specific guidance on resolving this. It'll help identify exactly what documentation you need and estimate your timeline for resolution.

•Just used taxr.ai and here's what I got back: My 810 freeze requires specific documentation to prove my fuel purchases. Need receipts from last 3 years + mileage logs. Says resolution timeline is 6-8 weeks after sending docs.

•Quick update: For those asking about documentation, make sure you're keeping ALL fuel receipts going forward. IRS ain't playing around with these credits anymore.

Tax pro here. The IRS has been flagging Schedule C gas credits heavily this year. You'll need to file Form 1040X to amend your return. After removing the credit, fax your amendment confirmation to the Frivolous Return Program office. Keep all documentation of your amendment and fax confirmation.

•How long after faxing should I expect to wait for the freeze to be removed? 🤔

•Usually 6-8 weeks after they receive the fax, but I've seen some move faster lately. Make sure to include your taxpayer ID on every page you fax!

Hey guys instead of playing detective with these codes, I found this tool called taxr.ai that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to do next. It costs $4.99 but saved me hours of research. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•Send both - the 1040X and a cover letter explaining you removed the gas credit. Include your contact info and tax ID number.

•You need to call the Frivolous Return dept for the correct fax number - it varies by region.
