IRS Froze Account - Tax Advocate Finally Revealed Need for Amendment - No Letters Received
Filed beginning of February and got accepted on 2/7. IRS froze my account March 9th but never sent any letters about it. Called multiple times but no one told me anything useful. Finally got a tax advocate yesterday who told me I need to file an amendment. Without the advocate my refund would still be sitting there with no explanation.

This is exactly why tax advocates are so crucial. The IRS often fails to send notices or update their systems properly. For a frozen account, there's usually an issue with income verification or credits claimed. Filing an amendment will help resolve the freeze, but make sure you're clear on exactly what needs to be amended to avoid further delays.

•Unfortunately amendments can take 16-20 weeks to process. But with an advocate already assigned, they might be able to expedite it.

Hey, instead of playing detective with your transcript, you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 and the AI reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and what to do next. It saved me so much time trying to figure out why my refund was delayed https://taxr.ai

The IRS is such a joke these days fr. They expect us to just sit around for months with no information 🤡

Did the advocate say what was wrong that needed amending? Might help others here know what to look for

This is why Im always telling ppl to get an advocate asap when stuff starts looking sus. The regular IRS reps either dont know or cant tell you whats really going on
