2023 Tax Refund Held: CP05 Notice (April 22, 2024) Verifying Income, Withholding & Credits After 810 Freeze Removal

I just got a CP05 notice from the IRS dated April 22, 2024 regarding my 2023 tax return. The notice arrived from their Kansas City, MO office (133 W Pershing Road Stop 6574S-2, Kansas City, MO 64108-4302). I noticed my 810 freeze code was removed, but now this shows up. The CP05 notice explicitly states "We're holding your refund until we finish reviewing your tax return" and they're verifying three specific items: - Income - Income tax withholding - Tax credits The exact wording on the notice says "We've received your 2023 tax return. We're holding your refund until we finish verifying the accuracy of your return." It also mentions "We'll contact you or your authorized representative if we have questions." The notice is from the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, and clearly marked as "CP05" for Tax Year 2023. It's dated April 22, 2024 with a Caller ID of 29H and references 32y-1040 on page 1 of 3. I know this is part of their verification process, as stated on the notice, but I'm starting to get worried about more delays. Has anyone dealt with this situation before? Does this verification process essentially mean the same thing as the 810 freeze code that was just removed? Really concerned about how long this new hold might take. For reference, this is notice CP05 (32y-1040) with Caller ID 29H sent from their office at 133 W Pershing Road Stop 6574S-2, Kansas City, MO 64108-4302. Anyone know how long this typically takes?

This CP05 notice from the IRS's Kansas City office (dated April 22, 2024) indicates your 2023 tax return is under review. The notice's identifier "32y-1040" and Caller ID "29H" are important reference numbers you should keep for any future communications with the IRS. The notice specifically outlines three areas being verified: 1. Income 2. Income tax withholding 3. Tax credits This is more targeted than an 810 freeze code - it's a systematic review of specific elements of your return. The fact that they're verifying these three components suggests this is part of the IRS's regular compliance checking process, rather than a suspected fraud hold or identity verification issue. The notice's language "We're holding your refund until we finish verifying the accuracy of your return" indicates this is a mandatory hold - meaning your refund won't be released until the review is complete. While the IRS states they'll contact you if they need additional information, you don't need to take any action at this point. Coming from the Kansas City office (133 W Pershing Road) means your return is being processed at one of the IRS's main processing centers, which handles returns from multiple states. You can use these notice details (CP05, 32y-1040, 29H) when checking your refund status or contacting the IRS about your case.
