How to access IRS tax transcript online? Need step-by-step instructions

I've been trying to check my tax situation but realized I need to see my transcript. How exactly do I access my IRS tax transcript? Is there a website I need to go to? Do I need to create an account first? I'm completely new to this process and would appreciate any guidance on how to get my transcript without having to call and wait on hold forever. Thanks in advance!

Hardship funds released by Tax Advocate, showing on SBTPG with 05/17/2025 date - when will I actually receive money?

I submitted a hardship request about 3 weeks ago and finally got approved. My tax advocate called me yesterday to tell me they released my refund! I checked SBTPG (Santa Barbara Tax Products Group) today and can see the funds are there with a deposit date of 05/17/2025. Does anyone know how long it typically takes from when it shows on SBTPG to when I'll actually get the money in my account? This has been such a nightmare process and I really need these funds asap for medical bills.

Dealing with code 810 freeze - unreported W2 from 2021? Should I continue waiting?

This is sooo frustrating. I've been checking my transcript almost every day and I'm pretty sure this freeze code is because of a W2 I didn't report in 2021. That's probably what triggered the 810 code on my account. I've literally gone to the IRS office in person pretending I was there to verify my identity (just to get someone to talk to me). I've also tried getting a tax advocate but getting almost zero help. The IRS agents keep telling me I don't need to file an amendment, but they won't give me a clear timeline. Some people in similar situations say they've been waiting for over 18 months! Should I just keep waiting or is there anything else I can try? Getting really desperate here.

IRS transcript showing -$8,729 balance with "Refund Freeze" code - Will I get this refund?

I checked my IRS transcript today and I'm confused about what I'm seeing. My account balance shows -$8,729.00 but I don't understand what a negative balance means. Is this a refund I'm getting? Looking at my transcript details: ACCOUNT BALANCE: -8,729.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 10, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 10, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -8,729.00 The transcript also shows "Refund freeze" from February 15, 2025. My withholding is showing as $9,432.00 and my tax is only $703.00. My filing status is Single with 1 exemption. My AGI was $21,623.00 and taxable income $7,023.00. Here's what appears in the TRANSACTIONS section: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250805 03-10-2025 $703.00 32221-432-76390-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2025 -$9,432.00 810 Refund freeze 02-15-2025 $0.00 The processing date shows March 10, 2025, and my return due date is April 15, 2025. I have no self-employment tax showing (all zeros for SE TAXABLE INCOME). Can someone help explain what this negative balance means and why there's a refund freeze? The difference between my withholding and tax owed seems to match the negative balance amount, but I'm not sure if that means I'm getting this as a refund. Will I get this money eventually? I'm worried because it's been sitting with a "freeze" code since February.

$15,652 tax refund with EIC showing on transcript with codes 570 & 810 freeze since January - no updates or letters from IRS

I filed my taxes in early January of 2025 claiming Earned Income Credit since I was self-employed last year with income around $17,410.00. According to my transcript, I have a refund amount of $16,652.00 which includes withholding of $7,901.00, credit to my account of $2,237.00, and Earned Income Credit of $6,960.00. Looking at my transcript details: ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$16,652.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Mar. 11, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Mar. 11, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -$16,652.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED: EXEMPTIONS: 03 FILING STATUS: Single ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $17,410.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $2,248.00 TAX PER RETURN: $1,446.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: $9,449.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: $0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: $1,446.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 16, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Mar. 11, 2025 TRANSACTIONS: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION - CYCLE DATE - AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed - 20250805 03-11-2025 - $1,446.00 79211-427-95048-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding - 04-16-2025 - -$7,901.00 810 Refund freeze - 01-31-2025 - $0.00 766 Credit to your account - 04-16-2025 - -$2,237.00 570 Additional account action pending - 03-11-2025 - $0.00 768 Earned income credit - 04-16-2025 - -$6,960.00 My transcript shows code 810 Refund freeze from January 31 and code 570 Additional account action pending from March 11. It's now April and I still haven't received anything. No updates, no letters, nothing. I've tried calling the IRS 5 times but can't get through. The Where's My Refund tool just says "still processing." Has anyone experienced this before? Is there something I'm missing? I really need this money for some medical bills I've been putting off. Does the "Additional account action pending" code mean they found something wrong with my return? Is it because of the Earned Income Credit? I'm confused because everything on my return seems straightforward - I had self-employment income of $9,449.00 with total adjusted gross income of $17,410.00, and I claimed the appropriate credits. Why would they freeze my refund without telling me why?

IRS account suddenly shows $9,669.23 owed for 2019 when I was a student with no income - Will this block my 2024 refund?

I was checking my IRS online account yesterday and almost had a heart attack. It shows I owe $9,669.23 for tax year 2019, listed as "Assessed Total" and "Income Tax Total". I can clearly see it on my account summary page where all tax years are listed. It shows: Tax Year 2024: INFO Tax Year 2023: $0.00 Tax Year 2022: $0.00 Tax Year 2021: $0.00 Tax Year 2020: $0.00 Tax Year 2019: $9,669.23 When I click on the 2019 tax year, it breaks down as: Income Tax Type: - Assessed Total: $9,669.23 - Income Tax Total: $9,669.23 The weird thing is I didn't even file taxes that year because I was a full-time student with basically no income. All the other years show $0.00 owed as you can see in the breakdown above. I'm planning to file my 2024 taxes next month but now I'm worried this will prevent me from getting my refund. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Does the IRS just randomly decide you owe them money? And how will this affect my current year filing? I'm freaking out seeing this nearly $10K debt that appeared out of nowhere on my account.

Still waiting for IRS verification letter after 6 weeks - what's the typical timeframe?

I filed my taxes on March 3rd and got a message that my return was accepted. But then on April 10th the IRS sent me a notice saying they needed to verify my identity before processing my refund. The notice said I should expect a verification letter in the mail within 2-3 weeks. It's now been almost 6 weeks and still nothing in my mailbox. When I check Where's My Refund it just says my return is still being processed. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal or should I be concerned? I'm expecting around $1,750 back and really need it for some car repairs.

Found missing W2s on IRS website - Can I submit them without filing an amendment? (Transcript codes 810, 570, 571)

I just discovered my actual W2 forms on the IRS website after I already submitted my tax return in April. My refund has been stuck in processing for about 2 months now. Looking at my transcript, I see codes 810, 570, and 571. The W2s I found on the IRS site show some income I accidentally didn't report. Can I somehow add these W2s to my existing return without filing an amendment? My transcript is super confusing and I'm worried about doing something wrong that will delay things even more.
