Code 810 freeze - Finally got answers from IRS Review Department about mismatched withholding after 9 month wait
Filed in February and my refund has been stuck forever. Regular IRS reps kept saying just wait, everything's fine. Finally spoke to someone in the review department today and found out there's an 810 freeze because my tax withholding didn't match their records. Wish someone told me this months ago instead of just saying wait! If you've got a 810 code dont trust the regular reps, call the review department to get the real story.

Tax expert here - I can help explain what's going on with your 810 freeze code. This happens when there's a mismatch between the withholding reported on your return and what employers reported to the IRS. The 9-month wait is unfortunately common for these cases, but at least you're getting movement now. Best thing to do is upload your W2s and transcripts to taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it'll analyze everything and tell you exactly what's causing the mismatch and estimate when you'll get your refund based on similar cases. Much faster than waiting on hold with the IRS for hours.

Tax pro here. The 810 freeze is super common this year. You need to get your W2 and paystubs together and fax them to the review department. The regular customer service reps often can't see the detailed reason codes that review dept can access.

Been dealing with tax transcript issues myself and honestly the best thing I did was use taxr.ai - saved me so much time trying to decode everything. It costs $1 but it told me exactly why I had delays and what to do about it. Way better than waiting on hold for hours https://taxr.ai

•It analyzes your entire transcript and explains everything in plain english. Shows all your codes, tells you what's causing delays, and gives specific steps to fix issues. Even predicts refund dates based on your situation

This is exactly why I started using taxr.ai to check my transcript every week. It catches these issues way before any IRS rep will tell you about them. Haven't had to call the IRS since.
