810 Freeze Warning: Stop letting random people do your taxes! Take control of your return

Let's be real - too many of us are getting hit with 810 freezes because we're not taking responsibility for our tax returns. Whether its TurboTax, FreeTaxUSA, or some random preparer, signing without understanding whats on your return is asking for trouble. If you struggle with the math or reading get someone you trust to help review it. Your signature means YOU are responsible, not the preparer.

846 Code on 11/20 After Refund Freeze Removed - Paper Check or Direct Deposit Coming? (Amended Return)

Finally got my 846 code! Got a 971 two weeks ago, then saw 811 and now 846 showed up on transcript. Never got any notice in the mail though. Can anyone tell me if I'm getting direct deposit or paper check? I'm going to paste my full transcript details below to see if anyone can tell me more about my refund situation: ACCOUNT BALANCE: 0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Dec. 03, 2024 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Dec. 03, 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): 0.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED EXEMPTIONS: 03 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 7,688.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 0.00 TAX PER RETURN: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: 0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: 0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2024 PROCESSING DATE May 13, 2024 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE 150 Tax return filed 20241705 05-13-2024 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2024 810 Refund freeze 02-08-2024 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2024 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2024 768 Earned income credit 04-15-2024 971 Amended tax return or claim 07-01-2024 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 07-01-2024 83277-598-58620-4 767 Reduced or removed credit to your 04-15-2024 account 290 Additional tax assessed 20244305 11-11-2024 71254-695-05548-4 971 Notice issued 11-11-2024 811 Removed refund freeze 11-06-2024 846 Refund issued 11-20-2024 776 Interest credited to your account 12-02-2024 I filed as Head of Household with 3 exemptions. My return was originally filed in May but I had a refund freeze (code 810) from back in February. Then I filed an amended return in July (codes 971 and 977). They assessed additional tax on 11/11 and issued a notice the same day (code 971), but I haven't received anything in the mail yet. The freeze was removed on 11/06 (code 811) and then the refund was issued on 11/20 (code 846). I also see they credited interest to my account on 12/02 (code 776). Since I don't see any direct deposit information, does this mean I'm getting a paper check? Or is there something else I should be looking for on the transcript?

Anyone else stuck on code 291 while everyone getting their 846 refund codes?

Everyone seems to be getting their 846 codes and getting their refunds deposited while im over here stuck on 291. Starting to feel like im never gonna see this money fr.

IRS Returned My Tax Payment and Shows "Removed Refund Applied to Non-IRS Debt" on Transcript - Will Payment Be Redirected to Me?

I sent a payment to the IRS for my tax debt last month. Just got notice that the payment was returned. I received a notice from the IRS with the following information: 766 Removed refund applied to non-IRS debt 11-12-2024 290 Additional tax assessed 20244705 12-10-2024 71254-723-05399-4 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data It looks like they removed a refund that was supposed to be applied to a non-IRS debt on November 12th, and there's also an additional tax assessment from December 10th. Does anyone know if they will automatically redirect the returned payment back to me or do I need to do something? Starting to get worried about penalties since the due date is coming up. I'm not sure what the code "766" exactly means in this context - is this why my payment was returned? Also concerned about the "290 Additional tax assessed" entry - does this mean I now owe even more than before? I don't want to end up with late payment penalties on top of everything else. Should I just send another payment immediately or wait to hear more from them?

After 8 Month Wait, DDD Finally Showed Up! Code 846 for 12/4/24 After Refund Freeze

After checking my transcript every single day for 8 months straight, I finally got my direct deposit date! My cycle code is 20242205 and I see the 846 code with a DDD for 12-04-2024. I can't believe it's finally happening after such a long wait! I filed Head of Household with an Adjusted Gross Income of $23,765.00 and Taxable Income of $1,572.00. My total tax per return was $3,461.00 with self-employment income of $23,622.00. Looking at my transcript today (Request Date: 11-29-2024, Response Date: 11-29-2024), I can see all the codes that explain why this took so long: TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION - CYCLE - DATE - AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed - 20242205 - 06-17-2024 - $3,461.00 30211-449-68228-4 810 Refund freeze - 02-28-2024 - $0.00 811 Removed refund freeze - 05-08-2024 - $0.00 766 Credit to your account - 04-15-2024 - -$1,600.00 766 Credit to your account - 04-15-2024 768 Earned income credit - 04-15-2024 570 Additional account action pending - 06-17-2024 - $0.00 971 Notice issued - 06-17-2024 - $0.00 971 Notice issued - 06-24-2024 - $0.00 571 Resolved additional account action - 11-22-2024 - $0.00 846 Refund issued - 12-04-2024 My account balance is now $0.00 with no accrued interest or penalties as of Dec. 16, 2024. The transcript shows the original refund freeze from February, and then they finally resolved the "additional account action" on 11-22-2024, which cleared the way for my refund. Hang in there everyone who's still waiting - it does eventually come through! I know how stressful it is checking the WMR tool and your transcript day after day, but there is light at the end of the tunnel!

2021 Return from March 2023 Still Pending - Received IRS Letter Mentioning Identity Theft Hotline - Need Help With $7k Refund

Filed my 2021 taxes back in March 2023 and still waiting. Called IRS multiple times but keep getting different answers. Can someone look at my account transcript and tell me what's going on? My Where's My Refund tool hasn't updated since May and I'm getting desperate for answers. My refund is over $7k and I really need this money. I just received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service from the United States Department of the Treasury from MEMPHIS, TN 37501-1498. The letter states "Information About the Request We Received" and "Why We're Contacting You" followed by "We're contacting you to report on the status of the request we received." Under "Information About the Status of The Request" it says "On January 25, 2025, you submitted a request for information" and then "We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are not able to process the requested tax year at this time. Please note: Transcript requests for other tax years may be available You or your representative can contact the Identity Theft Toll-free at 800-908-4490 for any tax year that is not available." I don't understand why they can't process my 2021 tax year transcript. Does this mean there's something wrong with my return? Why would they mention the Identity Theft hotline? Is my return flagged for identity theft? I'm so confused and really need this money. Has anyone dealt with something similar or know what this means for my refund status?

Amended Return Timeline - How fast does IRS accept amended returns?

Just submitted an amended return and wondering about acceptance timeframes. Anyone know how long it typically takes the IRS to accept an amended return into their system? First time amending and kinda nervous about the whole process.
