Cycle 05 return stuck with Code 768 - any updates on timeframe?
Filed my return a while back and got stuck with a 768 code on my transcript. Anyone else on cycle 05 dealing with this? Any idea when we might see some movement? Starting to get real frustrated with this wait.

Code 768 indicates an earned income credit on hold. This is a review process that typically takes 45-120 days. The IRS is verifying your eligibility for EIC. Make sure all your income documentation matches what you reported. Best thing to do is wait it out unless you get a letter requesting additional information.

Hey, I was in the same boat until I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It showed me exactly why I had the 768 code and gave me a super accurate timeline for my refund. Only cost a buck and saved me hours of googling. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•100% legit. It breaks everything down and explains it way better than any IRS agent I've talked to 💯
