Processing Date Changed from 11/25/24 to 02/19/24 on Transcript After Amended Return & EIC Removal - Refund Freeze Active
I've been checking my transcript daily and noticed something weird. The processing date was showing 11/25/24 but now its showing an earlier date of Feb. 19, 2024. Really confused about what this means for my refund situation. Looking at my transcript, I see: RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. PROCESSING DATE Feb. TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20240503 02-19-2024 30221-419-08250-4 768 Earned income credit 04-15-2024 846 Refund issued 02-22-2024 971 Amended tax return or claim 06-10-2024 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 06-10-2024 43277-564-01625-4 810 Refund freeze 06-27-2024 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2024 765 Reduced or removed earned income 04-15-2024 credit 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2024 290 Additional tax assessed 20243805 10-07-2024 33254-656-05849-4 It shows my original refund was issued on 02-22-2024, but then I filed an amended return on 06-10-2024. Then there's a refund freeze from 06-27-2024. Now I see there was additional tax assessed on 10-07-2024. The most concerning part is that code 765 which shows they reduced or removed my earned income credit. There are also two 766 codes for credits to my account. My tax period ends Dec. 31, 2023. I filed as single. Why would the processing date suddenly show February instead of November? Does this mean they're starting over with my amended return processing? I'm particularly worried about the refund freeze (code 810) and what the additional tax assessment means for me. The cycle date changed too. Anyone else seeing dates move backwards on their transcript like this? Should I be worried about the earned income credit being reduced or removed?

So the transcript date change usually means the IRS is actively working on your return. When it moves from a future date to an earlier one, it typically indicates they're doing some verification or review. Could be identity verification, income matching, or just standard processing. I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's this new AI tool that can analyze your transcript and tell you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. It's way more detailed than what we can guess from just the date change.

Tax expert here - When dates move backwards on transcripts, it usually means the IRS is doing additional processing or review. This isn't necessarily bad, but it does mean they're actively working on your return. Keep monitoring for any new codes or updates that might appear.

•Hard to give exact timeframes, but typically these reviews take 2-6 weeks to complete.

Hey guys, instead of playing detective with these transcript dates, I started using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer! It costs $1 but it analyzes your whole transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Ugh this is so frustrating! I'm dealing with the same thing - my processing date jumped around like 3 times already. The IRS really needs to get their act together with these transcript updates. At least you can see what's going on with all those transaction codes though. That refund freeze (810) is probably what's causing all the date changes while they sort out the amended return stuff. Hope it gets resolved soon! 😤
