ID Verified on May 7th - $3,742 Refund Has 810 Freeze Code Since February - Wait 9 Weeks or Call IRS?
Just completed ID verification on May 7th and noticed my refund has a freeze on it. I checked my account transcript and I'm getting anxious seeing this freeze code. The IRS rep told me to wait up to 9 weeks, but I'm not sure if that's normal. Here's my transcript: Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data Request Date: 05-14-2023 Response Date: 05-14-2023 Account Transcript FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2022 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$3,742.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: May 30, 2023 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: May 30, 2023 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -$3,742.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED EXEMPTIONS: 01 FILING STATUS: Single ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $375.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 0.00 TAX PER RETURN: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: 0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: 0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2023 PROCESSING DATE May 30, 2023 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION - CYCLE - DATE - AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed - 20231905 - 05-30-2023 - $0.00 76211-441-38530-3 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding - 04-15-2023 - -$360.00 810 Refund freeze - 02-24-2023 - $0.00 766 Credit to your account - 04-16-2023 - -$3,382.00 I see my refund amount is $3,742.00 but there's that code 810 "Refund freeze" from February. Should I call them back or just keep waiting it out? I verified my ID on May 7th but the processing date shows May 30th. Does this mean they're still working on it? I'm so confused about why there's a freeze and what that code 810 means.

I've seen this issue come up alot lately. After ID verification, the IRS puts a hold on your account for up to 9 weeks while they process everything. Its frustrating but theres actually a way to see exactly whats going on with your refund. I'd highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - its this new AI tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when you can expect your refund. Way better than trying to decode the transcript yourself or waiting on hold with the IRS for hours.

Tax pro here - after ID verification, there IS a standard 9-week processing time. Calling repeatedly won't speed things up and the freeze is actually normal during this period. Just hang tight 👍

Verification specialist here. The 9-week timeframe is pretty accurate these days. The freeze code (usually TC570) is automatically placed during review. Don't waste time calling - use tools like taxr.ai to track your progress or just check WMR weekly. The transcript updates usually happen on Friday mornings between 3-6am EST.

Hey Diego, I went through the exact same thing last month! Had the 810 freeze code and was freaking out too. The freeze is totally normal after ID verification - it's basically the IRS saying "hold up, we're reviewing everything." Your processing date of May 30th means they're actively working on it. I know 9 weeks sounds forever but that's unfortunately the standard timeline right now. My advice? Stop checking your transcript daily (I know, easier said than done) and maybe set a reminder to check again in a few weeks. The anxiety isn't worth it - you'll get your $3,742! 🙏
