IRS 'Pending Transaction' Hold Since October - Adjustment Letter Received 12/30 - TAS Not Helping

The pending transaction hold usually means the IRS is reviewing something specific. You can try calling the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040 and request to speak with an account management representative. They can see exactly which department has the hold and potentially release it if everything checks out. Your adjustment letter from December indicates they've made changes, so the hold should be lifting soon.

Have you tried using taxr.ai? It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what department has the hold and why. It costs $1 but saved me weeks of guessing. The AI told me precisely why my refund was held and what to do about it. https://taxr.ai

in the same boat...my TA hasnt responded in 3 months smh

The TAs are seriously overwhelmed rn. I heard they have like 500+ cases each 🤯

The adjustment letter is actually good news! Usually means theyre almost done processing. Mine took about 3 weeks after getting that letter.

Try contacting your local congressman's office. They have special liaisons with the IRS that can sometimes speed things up. Worked for me after being stuck for 6 months!
