Code 846: $5,888.58 Refund Coming 12/13 After 10-Month Wait - EIC Reduction, Feb Freeze & May Amended Return Finally Resolved

Just checked my transcript and saw it updated from code 290 to 846! After months of waiting and stressing, my refund is finally coming through. The deposit date is 12-13-2024 for $5,888.58! Can't believe its finally happening. Looking at my full transcript history: 768 Earned income credit 04-15-2024 -$3,995.00 971 Amended tax return or claim 05-10-2024 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 05-10-2024 $0.00 43277-534-68440-4 767 Reduced or removed credit to your 04-15-2024 $8,095.00 account 290 Additional tax assessed 20244804 12-16-2024 $0.00 71254-731-05739-4 971 Notice issued 12-16-2024 $0.00 811 Removed refund freeze 02-08-2024 $0.00 846 Refund issued 12-13-2024 $5,888.58 776 Interest credited to your account 12-23-2024 -$293.58 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data I had a freeze on my account since February 8th (code 811 - Removed refund freeze), then I had to amend my return in May (May 10th to be exact - codes 971 and 977 for "Amended tax return or claim forwarded for processing" and "Amended return filed"). There was a big EIC issue where they reduced my credit in April. Looking at the transcript, you can see code 768 for "Earned income credit" dated 04-15-2024 with -$3,995.00, but then code 767 "Reduced or removed credit to your account" for $8,095.00 on the same date! That's why everything got delayed. They issued a notice in December (12-16-2024, code 971) after the additional tax assessment (code 290 dated 12-16-2024, cycle 20244804). Finally, after all this back and forth, they removed the freeze and I'm getting my refund next week with some interest added! Code 846 "Refund issued" on 12-13-2024 for $5,888.58, plus code 776 "Interest credited to your account" on 12-23-2024 for -$293.58. The whole process has been so stressful, but seeing that 846 code with a direct deposit date feels amazing after this long nightmare. Almost a full year since the initial freeze in February - I was starting to think I'd never see this money!
