IRS Code 0905 on transcript - what's the latest update?

Got code 0905 on my transcript and wondering if anyone else has this and knows what it means? Been checking WMR daily but no movement yet. Really need this refund.

Brianna Schmidt

Tax specialist here - Code 0905 typically indicates additional account action pending. This means the IRS needs to complete additional review steps before processing your refund. Most 0905 codes are resolved within 60-120 days, though some can take longer depending on the specific review needed.

Could be identity verification, income verification, or checking for potential fraud. Without seeing your full transcript its hard to say exactly

Hey guys just wanted to mention - I was in the same boat and found this tool called taxr.ai that helped me understand exactly what was going on with my transcript and when I could expect my refund. Only costs $1 and gives way better info than trying to piece everything together ourselves. https://taxr.ai
