IRS 810 Freeze - Will W2, Invoice, and $4,350 Cash Receipt From 9/24/23 Be Sufficient for Household Employee Verification?

Got an 810 freeze code on my refund related to household employee verification. I'm trying to get this resolved and need advice on what documentation to provide. One of the main documents I have is a cash receipt for my nanny payment: CASH RECEIPT No. 101 Date 09/26/2023 Received From Payment Method Cash Amount $4,450.00 For 00232 Received By: 26 Besides this cash receipt (#101), I also have my nanny's W2, detailed invoice, and other proof of payment documentation with reference number 00232. The cash payment was made on September 26th for $4,450.00. I'm wondering if these documentation types (W2, invoice, and the cash receipt showing proof of payment) are sufficient to upload to the IRS portal to resolve the 810 freeze code? Has anyone gone through this household employee verification process before? I want to make sure I'm submitting everything they need to verify my household employee situation and get this freeze lifted as quickly as possible. I'm worried about delays in my refund and want to ensure I provide exactly what they need the first time.

quick tip: make sure all your docs are clear scans and the amounts match exactly across everything. they'll reject for the smallest discrepancy

i work in payroll and see this alot. Make sure you have proof of FICA tax payments too. Thats usually what trips people up with the 810 code

Transcript updated - EIC cycle 05 with DDD 2/17 (Filed 1/13)

Just checked and my transcripts finally updated. I'm on cycle 05 with EIC and got a deposit date of 2/17. Been checking every morning since I filed on January 13th. Finally some movement!

The Path Act prevents the IRS from releasing EIC refunds before Feb 15th. Your DDD of 2/17 is right on schedule!

Transcript 'as of' date stuck on Feb 27 - no movement or notices. Call IRS?

My transcript has been showing February 27th as the 'as of' date for what feels like forever. No updates, no notices, nothing changing at all. Getting really frustrated and wondering if I should keep waiting it out or actually try calling the IRS at this point?

Filed taxes Feb 1st, IRS still processing. No federal refund yet. Normal?

Hey everyone, I filed my taxes on February 1st and still haven't received my federal tax return. I checked the IRS website and it says they're processing it. Anyone else in the same boat? How long does this usually take?

Have you checked if there were any errors on your return? Sometimes that can hold things up.

I double-checked everything before submitting. Pretty sure it's all correct, but I guess you never know ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

PSA: If you're really desperate for your refund, you can request a tax transcript. Sometimes it shows pending refunds before the Where's My Refund tool updates. Google 'IRS Get Transcript' for more info.

This is actually great advice! I did this last year and saw my refund was coming before the official tool updated. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Filed 1/14, Accepted 1/17 - Is 3-Day Processing Normal for 2024 HOH Return? Still in "Return Received" Status

I submitted my taxes on January 14th and got the acceptance notification on January 17th. First time filing this early and wondering if 3 days for acceptance is normal? Should I be worried about delays? I just checked my refund status on the IRS website and got this message: "We have received your tax return and it is being processed. It can take up to 3 weeks to process your return if you filed electronically, or 4 to 6 weeks if you mailed your return. However, processing may take longer under certain circumstances." The status shows "Return Received" but both "Refund Approved" and "Refund Sent" are still pending with question marks. The site also references "Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" which I'm not sure if that's good or bad? For context, I filed as Head of Household for Tax Year 2024. This is my first time filing so early in the season, and I'm getting anxious about when I'll actually see my refund. Is this normal processing time or should I be concerned about potential delays? Has anyone else who filed around the same time started seeing movement on their refund status?

straight chillin, ur good. acceptance time doesnt mean anything for how fast youll get ur refund tho

First time filer here - what does acceptance even mean exactly?

0 coins

It just means your return passed the basic format check. Like making sure SSNs are valid and math adds up
