IRS Freeze Code on Account - How to Get it Lifted? ID Verify Required?
I'm stuck with a freeze code on my account and not sure what to do next. Been waiting on my refund for months now. Called IRS multiple times but keep getting different answers. Some say I need to verify my identity others say just wait. Anyone know the actual process to get this resolved?

Tax professional here. Freeze codes typically require specific actions depending on the code. The most common are identity verification freezes (you'll need to complete ID.me verification) or income verification freezes (requires submitting additional documentation). Without knowing your specific freeze code, it's hard to give exact guidance. Have you checked your transcript to see which code you have?

Create an account at IRS.gov, go to Get Transcript Online. You'll need ID.me verification first though

Hey there! Instead of trying to piece together whats going on, I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's causing the freeze and how to fix it. Its only $4.99 and saved me weeks of headache. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% legit! Used it myself last month. It reads your transcript and uses AI to explain everything in plain english + gives you specific steps
