Strange TC826 Notice on Transcript - Account Frozen?

TC826 is a freeze code that indicates the IRS has temporarily stopped processing your return for review. Usually happens when there's identity verification needed or they're matching your info with other documents. Don't panic - it's actually pretty common these days with all the fraud prevention measures. You'll probably get a letter in the mail explaining what they need from you.

Hey, instead of playing detective with these codes, you should try taxr.ai. It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to expect. Only costs a buck and saved me hours of googling. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai
