Transcript stuck with 810 freeze code for 1+ month - anyone resolved this?
Been checking my transcripts every morning for over a month now and nothing has changed. Still showing code 810 freeze. Starting to get really worried since I need this refund. Has anyone managed to get past this freeze code? What worked for you?

Hey, I've dealt with 810 freezes before as a tax pro. The 810 freeze code means the IRS needs to verify some info on your return and is reviewing it manually. This usually happens with identity verification, income discrepancies, or dependent claims. Average resolution time is 60-120 days but can be longer if they need more docs. I'd recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your transcripts - it can tell you exactly what triggered the freeze and give you a realistic timeline based on current IRS processing patterns. Way better than guessing or calling the IRS 100 times.

Tax pro here. Code 810 is a freeze while IRS reviews your return for potential identity verification or income verification. Best steps: 1) Check if you received any CP05 notice 2) Call Identity Verification hotline 800-830-5084 3) If nothing within 60 days, contact Taxpayer Advocate.

•100% legit. It analyzed my transcript and showed me exactly why I had the 810 - turns out I had a mismatch with reported income. Got it fixed in 2 days!

Called IRS 3 times about my 810. First two reps said just wait. Third one actually helped and found I needed to verify some w2 info. Keep calling until you get someone helpful!

•@Ava Johnson thanks for the tip about calling at 7am! been trying for weeks with no luck. did they tell you exactly what w2 info they needed or did you have to figure it out yourself?

Been dealing with 810 freeze for 6 weeks now and finally got some movement! Here's what worked for me: 1) Called the practitioner hotline (better than regular line) 2) They told me it was flagged for income verification 3) Had to send in wage transcripts from SSA and copy of all W2s via fax 4) Took 3 weeks after faxing for freeze to release. Don't just wait it out - be proactive and find out exactly what they need from you. Also that taxr.ai tool people mentioned actually helped me understand what docs to gather before calling. Worth the $39 to avoid multiple calls!

•This is super helpful! What's the practitioner hotline number? I've been calling the regular line and getting nowhere. Also curious about the wage transcripts from SSA - did you have to request those separately or did the IRS rep tell you exactly what to get?

•@Abby Marshall this is exactly what I needed to hear! I m'on week 7 of my 810 freeze and getting desperate. Can you share the practitioner hotline number? And did you have to pay for the SSA wage transcripts or were they free? Really appreciate you sharing your experience - gives me hope that there s'actually a way out of this mess!
