My transcript updated last night. There is a 766 code but not an 846 number.  The transcript shows an amount with a minus sign, but the amount doesn't match what I filed. It looks like my education credit hasn't been added yet... So my question is, can your final refund amount change if the 846 code hasn't posted yet?

same thing happened to me last year! the amount changed like 3 times b4 i got my 846 🙄

whats this taxr.ai thing? can it actually predict when ill get my refund?

yeah its pretty legit! just uploads your docs and it tells you exactly whats going on + when to expect your money. saved me from checking wmr like a psycho 50 times a day lol

ok i tried taxr.ai and omg its amazing! here's what it told me: Refund Status: Processing Expected Completion: 2-3 weeks Reason for Delay: Education Credit Verification Next Update: Likely within 5-7 days it even explained all my codes! 🙌

the education credit is always such a pain 😭 took them forever to process mine

mine changed like 4 times before i got the 846! hang in there fam 💪

This is so helpful! I'm in a similar situation - my transcript shows a 766 code but the amount doesn't match what I expected either. It's reassuring to know that the amount can change multiple times before the 846 code appears. I was getting worried seeing all these different numbers, but it sounds like that's totally normal during processing. Thanks for explaining how the education credits work too - I had no idea they needed extra verification time!

i just see this . a d i suppost to recieve 13k

The 766 code is a general code. Code 766 can show up multiple times on your transcript. It is dependent on a number of variables. Generally I would start with the date associated with with the code and the amount. You can use both the date, amount, filing status, exemptions and dependents to potentially determine what the credit represents. Your full transcript will tell the rest of the story for the code. It isn't necessarily your refund amount.

I already did this

what about my case . i need to recieve 13k

Every week it’s mostly updated cycle code will tell but many has Friday update with cycle code 05 as far as I know.

How do you know what cycle you are?

Raheemah, on your transcripts it has a cycle code but you did mention you don’t have anything yet. No worries though, many ppl like you who have nothing on their transcripts but still see a ddd.

You seen this

Should be a credit being added to your refund.

I have a date 4/6 but it’s only $233

Yes, it should be part of your refund.

Yes! It should be part of your refund.

It’s already included in the refund that you had received in February 21.

So I won't be getting the 3600 back individually

No, unless you are missing a big chunk of your tax return then you need to send an amended return but that credit should have been applied to your refund you had received already.

Already sent in an amended return

Okay, good! :

That amount should have been added to your refund.

So i already got it?

Yes, you should have.

Hi Stephanie Total refund you’re entitled to stated on code 846 Did you look 846 on 4/15?

My 846 code was 3/22/2022. When I reviewed my transcript it said I received a $1000 credit. Fi just want to know if I need to claim it. Or will it be automatically deposited on 4/15/2022.

Hi Michele 766 is a part of your credit(refund) but 766,768 type of credit eventually combine to code 846. You need to see 846 for actual direct deposit date. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 & choose IRS

Hi Katie yes I got code 846 for 4/13 in haven’t got my refund yet

We just start 4/13 morning and I assume money should be there by tonight 4/13 if there’s no bank info error or other unmatched issue. In that case, paper check will be issued.

Ok so give it until tonight in it should be on my Emerald Card

Yes I would wait. If there’s no other issue, it should be there. Finger crossed 🤞🏻

My return says we get the money but have not received it

You should get an 846 code for both of those credits (766) by 4/15. I would expect a deposit in the bank a few business days afterwards. Congratulations! 💸

I got the same thing my date says 4/15 by the minus amt

Is your expected credit is an advance child tax credit you claimed? It’s better to see codes on the transcript but negative in 2022 indicates your credit. You should have 846 code by 4/15 if you expect more refund from IRS.

The notice I received was a CP08 for additional child Tax credit.

Looks like you have a deposit being sent 4/15, this is an adjustment after your original refund was sent. You should see it in your account a few days after it’s sent. You can also check where my refund for updates on the progress. Congrats!

Have you checked your transcript? Look for a date on code 846 and you will receive your direct deposit. If it’s passed over 21 days or a month without any update, you may need to call IRS to find out what’s hold up. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 & choose IRS

I see now your transcript post. There’s code 846 dated 2/24/22 Have you received your refund on 2/24/22? Some taxpayers received an original refund first then expect a remaining refund because irs needs to work on an adjustment credit (such as advance (or additional) child tax credit

No there’s not a 846 code. I received my taxes on 2/24 . Is this an additional payment I’ll receive?

Your transcript here shows 846 “refund issued” on 2/24/22 in the middle of copy.

Here 846.

I would speak with IRS agent if you did not receive any with this 846 “refund issued” on the transcript.

Nae, if your talking about codes 766 - those credits should have been applied to your refund you received on Feb 24. If you believe they weren’t added to your refund, you can definitely see if you receive it tomorrow but for most the credits we’re added to their refund.

No 766 is a child tax credit or stimulus payment claimed and it will add to 846 so look at 846 code date.

Okay. I don’t see that yet.

Then wait for 846 in 2022 year.

Would it be sooner than later? I filed in January but got a letter saying I was owed more and I have a new return coming. By like may 6th. Just confused wondering if it will be soon. It says my return was processed on 3/7

I’m sorry I’m not sure the answer but your transcript will tell you when as soon as it is updated. You can check a transcript, a irs notice in the mail or speak with irs agent for estimates. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 & choose IRS

Hi 846 is a refund code so all your credits and adjustments (decreased or increased) is added to 846 Look at an amount and date on 846

I didn’t get that amount today what is the hold up if iam even getting that amount

You have code 570 on hold , 971 letter may be mailed to you. Haven’t you received any notice from irs yet?

Katie is right, I suggest calling the IRS if you haven’t received the letter. You may be able to figure out what the issue is sooner, could be something like verifying your identity.

Until you will see 846, irs hasn’t done your refund. You need to wait for notice from irs or wait for update on the transcript or speak with irs agent if why there’s hold. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

I identify my identity already and they sent me a letter saying Thankyou for completing the process

When was a last letter sent to you?

After identity verification, it may take 2-9 weeks and some people got updated within 3 weeks so if it’s in your case, call irs to check and see your transcript update.

Then soon irs will finish your refund and your refund code 846 will be on the transcript. Identity verification takes about 9 weeks. Some people got a refund within 2-3 weeks. Hang tight.

I got the letter a couple weeks ago my apologies I just looked at the date

No, those credits circled should have been applied in your refund amount. Unless you think they were not added then I would suggest speaking with a rep to see if you would be receiving them later on.

Like Leilani said, if you’re not sure and want to speak with IRS for further issue, call is necessary. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 & choose IRS

Hey Katie, so when I first filed it said I would receive 7874, then it got adjusted to 6774. Also I was wondering about the lines 766 and 768 because I received my return on 3-2-22 but it’s showing credit to my account and earned income credit for 4-15-22. If they did owe me money would it automatically deposit or would I have to claim it?

Don, I just did the math & looks like those credits have been applied already to your refund sent 3/02. So the amount $6,774 is your original amount and might have been a mistake was done when filing your taxes and $1100 was taken out.

Don, IRS reviews your tax and if they see you’re qualified CTC or EITC but if those are not claimed, they will hold your refund and send you a notice in the mail to inform you. So basically irs mails a notice for adjustment to increase or decrease a refund. Decrease happens when you have past taxes due or other debt. I’ve seen someone received a letter. She forgot to claim her CTC and CP12 notice was sent to her.  If you’re questioning about your refund and can’t wait for update, I would like to suggest calling irs.  I’m also a type of person who double checked with irs rep not just waiting so it’s up to you. $5 discount link for first time call https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 & choose IRS

I replied and it’s gone to the wind.

Gone with the wind

Don, I think Leilani answered it for you. I’ve seen some taxpayers forgot to claim an earned income tax credit and irs sent a notice to inform her.  Refund can be changed when IRS finds some errors to fix or adjust.

You did receive it in your refund that you got 03/09, you won’t be receiving a different deposit.

Tax topic 152 simply means it’s still being processed. The IRS is still behind on a lot of returns, I hope you see some movement soon. Have you checked your transcripts to be sure you have no other issues?

I don't know how to.do that

It’s pretty simple, just visit this website and sign up for an account. Take screenshots of them and post them here on the community so we can help you decipher them. 😊

Shouldn’t there be a refund issue date that is posted before the 766 credit to my account code?

Those credits will be applied towards your refund. I’m guessing you also have a 570 code under the 971, have you called irs to speak with a rep about the hold on your taxes processing which is for code 570.

No one will answer me! I was sent a letter a while back noting the adjustment to my return but that was in March. I filed 2/01

Okay good! So I’m guessing you got your direct deposit already?
