$9,406 Refund Finally Released After 6 Month 810 Freeze (March-September) - Included $317 Interest Payment

Just got my refund released after dealing with an 810 freeze! My tax return was initially filed showing $4,352.00 and got hit with a refund freeze (code 810) on March 7th. I can finally breathe after months of stress! Looking at my IRS transcript, the RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE was Apr. 15, 2024, with a PROCESSING DATE of Apr. 22, 2024. Here's the breakdown of my transaction codes: - Code 150: Tax return filed on 04-22-2024 for $4,352.00 (cycle 20241405) - Code 806: W-2 or 1099 withholding from 04-15-2024 for -$138.00 - Code 810: Refund freeze placed on 03-07-2024 for $0.00 - Code 766: Credit to my account on 04-15-2024 for -$3,082.00 - Code 766: Credit to my account on 04-15-2024 for -$9,732.00 - Code 766: Credit to my account on 04-15-2024 for -$10,484.00 - Code 768: Earned income credit on 04-15-2024 for -$6,548.00 Had to file an amended return which was processed on May 30th as shown by codes 971 (Amended tax return or claim forwarded for processing) and 977 (Amended return filed) with reference number 43277-555-04604-4. During processing, they adjusted some credits (code 767). They removed: - $10,484.00 (code 767) - $9,732.00 (code 767) - $105.00 (code 767) But I still qualified for earned income credit (code 764) of $626.00 dated 04-15-2024. They removed the initial tax assessment of $4,352.00 on September 16th (code 291). There was an Additional tax assessed (code 290) on 09-23-2024 for $0.00 (cycle 20243605). Finally, on September 13th they removed the refund freeze (code 811) and issued my refund (code 846) on September 27th for $10,406.28! They even included interest of $417.28 (code 776) credited on 10-07-2024. The wait from March to September was brutal but worth it - especially with that interest payment! After all the adjustments and waiting through the freeze, I finally got my money!

The transcript shows a complex sequence of tax processing events spanning from March to October 2024. Your initial tax return filed for $3,352.00 included several significant credits: $2,982.00, $8,632.00, and $9,384.00, plus an Earned Income Credit of $5,548.00. On March 7th, the IRS placed an 810 freeze code on your account, which is typically used when they need to verify credit claims. The amendment process began on May 30th (shown by codes 971/977), during which the IRS made several adjustments. They removed two large credits (code 767) of $9,384.00 and $8,632.00, and adjusted your Earned Income Credit down to $526.00. The original tax assessment of $3,352.00 was removed on September 16th (code 291). A positive development occurred on September 13th when they removed the freeze (code 811), leading to a refund issuance of $9,406.28 on September 27th (code 846). The IRS also compensated you for the delay by adding interest of $317.28 (code 776) in October. The transcript also shows minimal withholding of $38.00 (code 806), which suggests most of your refund was based on refundable credits. The final resolution took approximately six months from the initial freeze to refund issuance, which is typical for cases requiring detailed credit verification.
