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

To all those having trouble reaching a human at the IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/wMf29SmRU-I

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

To all those having trouble reaching a human at the IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/wMf29SmRU-I

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. 😊

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

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?

No ma’am nothing

I should at least have received the adjusted amount on my original return. And the IRS still owes me on my amended return which is a separate amount.

The original return was filed on 2/01. The amended on 2/22 two completely different amounts So I’m not sure why I haven’t received the amount from my original return yet.

Yes, very true on that but from the looks of it they might hold it until the amended return is all processed. I’ve seen it happen to others. Definitely try speaking with a rep, I know you said you can’t get anyone on the phone but have you tried using Claimyr? The connection is guaranteed!

Oh wow that’s not cool at all. Especially since I received that letter directly from the IRS noting that I would be receiving the return within 4-6 weeks. I wasn’t aware that they would hold off until my amended portion was completed. I filed 1 February so am I now having to wait upwards to 20 weeks earliest July to even see a refund? And no I’ve never heard of CLAIMYR. How much is it to use?

Was that letter before you doing the amended return? Yup it’s going to be a long process with the amended! If you go to the top of the page & see the green banner under it you select a phone line and it will give you a price. Each phone line is different. I have a discount link if you would like to use it https://join.claimyr.com/be256b.

I received the letter a couple weeks after I had already filed the amended portion. However before I filed the amended portion I was told that I would still get what was ever owed on the original refund I’m just not understanding how my amended return has anything to do with the original return Owed. They’re two separate entities I was told. Thank you for the code

& you’ve passed those 4-6 weeks right? Which they stated you were going to get the original refund? You’re welcome!!

Yes

I paid for a callback so we shall see if they have any answers for me. It would’ve been nice to have been notified by the IRS that my original return Was completely Noll and void after the amended one was filed. Here I have been sitting in waiting. And even in the letter they didn’t even mention anything

Yay! Don’t quote me on it, but I’ve seen it happen! If the agent is no help, request another free callback. You have 10 free callbacks, someone has to know what they are doing. Lol

Hahaha thank you I appreciate it.

You’re welcome! Keep me updated🤗 I definitely want to know if everyone is being treated different!

Will do 👍🏾

Hi Malinda, looks like your amended return was received and it’s processing. Keep in mind amended returns are taking 6 months to more to complete it and send refund so it’s going to be a ride.

570 code is a HOLD on your tax processing.

Last two codes, 571 is a hold on your taxes processing & 971 is a letter being sent out to you indicating the reason for the hold. Did you ever receive that letter? Looks like it should have arrived around April 4th.

Yes I received it and it said they reviewed everything and not to take any actions and they do not need anymore information from me. It was the cp05 form. So should I be worried or everything is okay?

No, you shouldn’t be worried since they didn’t request for anything. If you haven’t heard back from them or received a refund within 60 days from the date you received it - you should give them a call.

Christina, as of date will be changing throughout your taxes processing so that doesn’t really mean anything. Looks like a letter will be sent out to you until June 6 indicating the reason it’s on hold.

Hello

Michael, the IRS is holding your refund. Have you received a letter from them? If you haven’t I honestly suggest calling today and speaking with an agent. Here is $5 discount link for first time callers using Claimyr https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

Did you find out what the hold was for I have the same code

766 is a credit that will be applied to your refund amount. 810 is a freeze or a hold, I suggest calling and speaking with a rep to see the issue. Here is a $5 discount link for first time callers using Claimyr https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

971 is a letter issued to you. Should have received it in April 18. If you never received anything, please call and speak with an agent. https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

I received it but it said nothing further to do..

I believe if you haven’t heard after 60 days you can call.

Okay thank you!!

Help

Your refund is on hold, I suggest calling and speaking with an agent to lift up the hold. 766 are just credit being applied to your refund once it’s released. Here is a discount link for first time callers https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

Why is it on hold or do you know?

How do you know it's on hold?

Do you know why it is on hold and could it be released

810 is what it means and nope I wouldn’t know why it’s on hold. You would have to call and speak with someone.

Hey Aleeya, you refund amount is still $9888! Looks like you amended your return, so it’s going to take a while for a deposit.

Ok thanks for your response so how long will the $9888 take to deposit? And what are the $1000 and $1400 credits?

Since you made an amended return, it can take 6 months to more. $100 & $1400 just credits applied to your refund.

Ok so the $9888 can take up to 6 months?

It can just depends how fast the IRS is working on your amended return.

Hi Jerry, looks like nothing has been processed yet. Give it another week and if it’s the same, go ahead and follow up with IRS by calling them. Here is a $5 discount link for first time callers using Claimyr https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

After I was accepted my transcript had a freeze code on it for me to go verify my identity.. everything should be fine?

Will I get paid nextweek

Could it be because I owe an offset of $40?

No, I had an offset and never went to review just got the money taken out right away. Definitely follow up.

766 is a credit that will be applied to your refund. I’m guessing the freeze in your account is until you verify. So I suggest doing that asap!

I went in aug 5 th to verify my identity

It takes about 9 weeks for them to release refund after verifying, or it can be sooner. You can always follow up for faster response. Here is a $5 discount link for first time callers using Claimyr https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

Melly, your direct deposit is 846. 766 is a credit but it is not a direct deposit so the date doesn’t really matter.

Hello. I received a 345 c letter requesting information that was already sent. There’s no fax number to return forms. Should I just sent priority mail so there’s a paper trail

Hello I looked on my online transcript account this morning and seen this code 810🤦🏾‍♀️ should I worry

What does this tax code mean

Your refund amount arriving 02/22/23 will be $6,644. This is the amount that was issued to you by the IRS by the "846 Refund issued" code. As for the future dates and credits applied, it's possible that the credits are for different tax years. The upcoming refund to be issued on Feb. 22, could be for a tax return you filed for a previous year, and perhaps the credits that won't apply until April may be for the current tax year, which is 2023. If the refund and credits are for the same tax year, it's possible that the IRS issued a preliminary refund based on your tax return, but your credits were not yet applied to the calculation. The IRS may adjust your refund amount later when they apply for the credits... I think you'll need to call them to see for sure.

We expect a large batch of PATH Act recipients (that includes you) will get their refund on the 22nd. So finger's crossed 🤞!

150 is how much you owe the IRS and 768 and 766 is how they owe you so add 768 and 766 minus 150 what you owe them and that’s how much your refund is

Looks like you'll get your refund on the 23rd as part of a mass direct deposit for PATH Act returns...

I have not recieve a notice either

Have you received anything yet?

This is what WMR says

Have you heard anything yet

Yes of 1993.27

But when???

When I check the irs website it says they sent out a letter because of offsets?

When I checked a week ago it said it would be in my account today and nothing but I checked the where’s my refund today and it says a letter was sent out? I’m so confused

????

seems like they are attaching these to everyones accounts now. almost seems done intentionally as an excuse for them taking forever with our refunds.

What am I supposed to do with this coin?? ugh why am I so confused by everything tech ( I feel 152 years young) please help I need a nap!

I haven’t received a letter so is that a good thing ?

Should be good

Good news the 766 is your refund

let's look at the new transactions provided: Tax return filed with an amount of $5,722.00, which typically indicates either the amount of tax owed or a refund due when the tax return was filed. Credit to your account of -$32,158.00, which suggests this amount was credited to your account. A negative amount in this context usually indicates money applied to your account, likely as a refund or an overpayment from a previous year. Additional account action pending and Notice issued both have $0.00 amounts, which do not affect the balance. After including the new transactions, the updated balance suggests that you have a credit of approximately $59,116.21 on your tax account. This could mean an overpayment or credits on your account that exceed what you owe. You may want to contact the tax authority or a tax professional for further clarification and to understand how you can receive this amount or apply it to future tax liabilities

The code "766" with the description "Credit to your account" followed by a negative amount typically signifies that a credit has been applied to your tax account. This could be indicative of an overpayment from a previous tax year, a refund from the current tax year, or some other form of credit. The date "04-15-2024" next to it would generally be the effective date of this credit. However, since you received a notice on "03-04-2024" stating that your account is under review, this could mean that the tax authority is currently examining your tax return or account for various reasons. The "Additional account action pending" code "570" indicates that there might be further actions to be taken regarding your account. The review process can delay the issuance of your refund, and the "766" credit entry may be provisional, pending the outcome of the review. It's not a guaranteed refund date, but it could be the scheduled date for the credit or refund to be applied to your account if no issues are found during the review.

That message at the top usually appears when there are updates processing on your account. Since you have the 766 credit code for 4/15 but no 846 yet, it looks like they're still working through the review process. The 846 code is what you'll want to see - that's the actual refund issued code with your direct deposit date. Keep checking your transcript over the next few days, especially since 4/15 is coming up. The review from your 3/04 letter might be wrapping up soon!

That's actually a positive sign! The message at the top usually means they're actively processing updates to your account. Since you have the 766 credit for 4/15 but no 846 code yet, it suggests they're still finalizing things from that review letter you got on 3/04. The 846 code is what you really want to see - that's when they've officially issued your refund with the actual deposit date. I'd keep checking your transcript daily, especially with 4/15 approaching. Sometimes the 846 code shows up just a day or two before the actual deposit. The fact that they have a specific date on your 766 code is encouraging though!

That message usually indicates they're updating your account in real-time! Since you have the 766 credit dated 4/15 but no 846 code yet, they're likely finishing up that review from your March letter. The 846 "refund issued" code is what you're waiting for - that's when you'll see your actual direct deposit date. With 4/15 being Monday, I'd definitely keep checking your transcript over the weekend. Sometimes the 846 appears just 1-2 days before the money hits your account. The fact that they put a specific date on your 766 is actually pretty promising - means they're planning to process it soon!

That's definitely a good sign! That message usually appears when the IRS is actively processing updates to your account. Since you have the 766 code dated for 4/15 but no 846 yet, it looks like they're still wrapping up that review from your March letter. The 846 code is what you really need to see - that's the actual "refund issued" code with your deposit date. I'd keep checking your transcript daily, especially with Monday being 4/15. Sometimes that 846 code shows up literally the day before or even the morning of the deposit. The fact that they already have 4/15 scheduled on your 766 is actually really encouraging - it means they're planning to move forward with it once the review is complete!

This is such a helpful breakdown! I'm in almost the exact same situation as the original poster - I have a 766 code showing but my amount doesn't match what I filed for either. It's really reassuring to hear that the amount changing multiple times is totally normal, especially with education credits involved. I was starting to worry that something went wrong with my filing, but it sounds like this is just part of their standard processing routine. Thanks for explaining the difference between the 766 and 846 codes too - I had no idea that 766 was just the "we owe you money" code and 846 is the actual "money's coming" code. Now I know what to watch for on my transcript!

This breakdown is incredibly helpful, thank you! I'm dealing with a similar situation where my transcript shows a 766 code but the refund amount keeps fluctuating. It's such a relief to know that this is completely normal, especially when education credits are involved. I had no idea they required extra verification time - that explains why my transcript has been showing different amounts over the past few weeks. The explanation about 766 vs 846 codes is particularly useful. I've been obsessively checking for an 846 code without really understanding what the 766 meant. Now I know the 766 is basically the IRS acknowledging they owe me money, and the 846 will be when they actually send it. Really appreciate members like you taking the time to explain these processes so clearly!

This is exactly what I needed to hear! I'm in the same boat with a 766 code showing but my education credit missing from the amount. It's been driving me crazy checking my transcript every day and seeing different numbers. Your explanation about the 766 vs 846 codes makes so much sense - I never understood why there were two different refund-related codes. The fact that education credits need extra verification time is news to me too, but it explains why mine has been stuck in processing limbo for weeks. I feel so much better knowing this is all part of the normal process and not some error with my return. Thanks for breaking this down in such an easy-to-understand way!

This is so helpful! I'm in a very similar situation - my transcript shows the 766 code but the amount is way off from what I expected. I was getting really anxious thinking something was wrong with my return, but your explanation about the amounts changing multiple times before the 846 code appears is really reassuring. I also had no idea that education credits needed extra verification - that totally explains the delays I've been seeing. It's great to finally understand what these different codes actually mean instead of just stressing about them every time I check my transcript. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain this so clearly!
