Any 0805 cycle code filers still waiting for their refund?

The 0805 cycle code typically indicates weekly processing that should complete on Thursdays/Fridays. However, the IRS is experiencing significant backlog issues in the current processing queue. Their internal systems are showing delays of 7-10 additional business days for many 0805 coded returns, particularly those with certain credits or deductions that trigger additional verification processes. Have you checked your transcript for TC 570/971 combination codes?

When did you file? Early season? Any credits claimed?

I was stuck in the 0805 cycle last year and was getting frustrated with the lack of information. I found these resources helpful: • Used https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript - it explained that my 0805 code was delayed because of a verification hold • The tool showed me exactly which codes were causing the delay • It predicted my refund would come in 2 weeks (which was accurate) • Saved me hours of trying to interpret transcript codes Might be worth checking if you have access to your transcript. The IRS doesn't always tell you why there's a delay, but the codes on your transcript will.

I'm seeing a pattern with 0805 cycle codes this season. Several clients with this code who claimed education credits are experiencing delays. One particular client filed on February 3rd, received 0805 code by February 17th, but didn't receive their refund until March 29th. The IRS seems to be conducting additional verification on certain types of returns, even within the same cycle code group.

I was in the 0805 cycle and waited 6 weeks with no updates! Called the IRS tax line for DAYS with no answer. Finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) and got through to an agent in 18 minutes. The agent confirmed my return had a manual review flag that wouldn't show on WMR or the transcript. They released the hold while I was on the phone, and my DDD showed up 4 days later. Sometimes you just need to speak directly with an IRS representative to resolve these cycle code delays.

I've been tracking cycle codes for the past three tax seasons, and 0805 consistently has the most variable processing times. Last year my return had an 0805 code and took 31 days from acceptance to deposit. This year I got the same code but received my refund in 17 days. The cycle code just indicates which processing batch you're in, not your actual refund timeline. The IRS systems are just inconsistent with how quickly they move returns through the verification stages.

I was in the 0805 cycle last year and had almost given up when my refund suddenly appeared. What helped me was checking my Account Transcript rather than just the Return Transcript - it showed a different status that explained the delay. My sister had the same issue this year and her 0805 refund just hit her account yesterday after a 5-week wait.
