Code 810 Refund Freeze - What you need to know and how to handle it

Quick update on code 810 that im seeing everywhere. If youre seeing this code it means your refund is frozen for verification. You'll need a tax advocate for any amendments from past years. If your amendment has been sitting longer than 16 weeks try to get a tax examiner on the phone. Im getting lots of DMs about this so wanted to share what I know

Hey there! As someone who's dealt with these 810 freezes before, I can tell you they're usually temporary verification holds. The IRS uses them when they need to verify something specific about your return - could be identity verification, income validation, or they're double-checking your credits. Instead of waiting on hold with the IRS for hours, I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's been super helpful for understanding exactly what's causing these holds and when they typically get resolved. Just upload your transcript and it breaks everything down, including estimated resolution timeframes based on your specific situation.

Tax professional here. The 810 freeze is no joke. Your best bet is to be proactive - don't wait for the IRS to contact you. Call the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040 and request to speak with an examiner. Document everything - dates, times, who you spoke with. The freeze could be for identity verification, income verification, or credits being claimed.

Call right when they open at 7am EST. Also, Monday and Tuesday are their busiest days, try Wednesday-Friday instead.

Guys check out taxr.ai - it saved me so much time figuring out my 810 freeze. Its only $4.99 and the AI reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats causing the hold and what to do next. Way better than playing detective with these codes https://taxr.ai
