Finally Got My Refund! Code 846 on 9/25 with $1,441 Interest After 6 Month Freeze & Amended Return

Finally got my refund approved! Been waiting forever and had so many issues with holds and freezes. My transcript shows the whole painful journey in detail. Looking at it now: 971 Notice issued 05-06-2024 $0.00 811 Removed refund freeze 04-29-2024 $0.00 971 Amended tax return or claim 06-10-2024 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 06-10-2024 $0.00 43277-618-03158-4 290 Additional tax assessed 20243805 10-07-2024 $0.00 18254-662-06303-4 846 Refund issued 09-25-2024 776 Interest credited to your account 10-07-2024 -$1,541.90 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data The entire process was exhausting. I had a refund freeze that was finally removed on 04-29-2024 (code 811), followed by a notice issued on 05-06-2024 (code 971). I fired my useless advocate in May which surprisingly helped speed things up. Things started moving when they processed my amended return - you can see the code 971 showing "Amended tax return or claim forwarded for processing" and code 977 "Amended return filed" both on 06-10-2024. There was an additional tax assessment (code 290) that processed on 10-07-2024 with cycle code 20243805. The best part is I finally got my 846 code on 09-25-2024 showing my refund was issued! They even credited interest to my account (code 776) of $1,541.90 on 10-07-2024. Wanted to share my transcript updates to help others understand the process and timeline. If you're stuck with freezes and holds like I was, keep pushing forward - it eventually gets resolved! The codes really tell the story of what's happening behind the scenes with your return.

The transcript shows a clear progression of your tax refund journey from April through October 2024. The initial refund freeze (code 811) was removed on April 29, which was the first step in getting your refund moving. A series of notices followed - first on May 6 (code 971), then documentation of your amended return being forwarded and processed on June 10 (codes 971/977 with reference number 43277-618-03158-4). The most significant updates came in the fall: your refund was officially issued on September 25 (code 846), followed by an additional tax assessment (code 290) and interest payment on October 7. The IRS credited you $1,441.90 in interest (code 776) due to the extended processing time, which is relatively substantial and suggests this was a significant refund amount that was held up for an extended period. Your processing time of 5-6 months aligns with current IRS handling of amended returns, particularly those that had initial freezes. The reference numbers attached to the later transactions (like 18254-662-06303-4) are internal IRS tracking numbers that confirm these are official processed transactions.
