Went through ID verification process with IRS last month, now have code 846 showing on transcript

Thank you! The date says 05/15/2025, which is next Wednesday. I did choose direct deposit so hopefully it hits my account soon.

u might even get it earlier than the date shown. mine posted to my bank 2 days before the 846 date!

That would be amazing! I've been waiting so long that I'm just happy to see movement at this point

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It does WAY more than just reading the transcript. It explains every code in plain English, shows you exactly what's happening with your return, predicts when you'll get your refund, and can even help identify issues before they become problems. You can ask it specific questions too. Literally saved me hours of research and stress.

Just tried it and WOW. Where has this been all my life?? It answered questions I didn't even know I had about my transcript. Everyone dealing with the IRS needs to know about this tool!

is this some kind of ad? sounds too good to be true tbh 🤔

Not an ad, just someone who's been through the IRS nightmare and found something that actually helped. Try it yourself if you're skeptical.

wait does this actually work? i've been trying to reach someone at the IRS for weeks...

100% works. I was super skeptical too but was desperate after trying to call myself for days and never getting through. The service basically navigates all the IRS phone prompts and holds your place in line, then calls you when an agent is available. Saved me literally hours of my life on hold.

another 'miracle solution'... what's the catch? 🙄

The catch is that talking to an actual human at the IRS shouldn't be this hard in the first place lol. But it worked for me when nothing else did.

This year? They been a mess EVERY year 💀

True that lmaoooo

I think it depends on why you had to verify. If they flagged your return for verification, resolving that might put you on a faster track once cleared. I waited 4 months after verifying tho so definitely not always faster

That's not my experience at all. Had to verify and then waited 3 additional months. Meanwhile my spouse filed later with no verification and got theirs in 3 weeks. Total crapshoot.

Have you tried calling them? I was stuck for 2 months after verification then finally got through on the phone and suddenly had my refund a week later. Suspicious timing if you ask me...

I've tried calling literally 20+ times and can never get through. Always 'high call volume' and disconnects me 😤

Try Claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent. It's the only way I could finally talk to someone at the IRS about my delayed refund.

Just checked out claimyr. Might have to try it, I'm at my wits end with this whole situation

Solid advice! One more tip - if your refund is significantly different from what you expected, you can request a transcript of account to see if they made adjustments.

Thanks for all this info! I'll definitely check out that tool because these transcript codes have been confusing me for months.

THIS!!! And then they don't even pay us interest for all the months they've been using our money! The system is so broken.

actualy they do pay interest if its been more than 45 days since filing. check your transcript for code 776, thats interest

Interest at like what, 3%? Meanwhile inflation eatin our lunch and dinner 🤡

Internet Explorer speed 😂😂 thats exactly what it feels like

hmm I've been burned by so many of these 'services' before... what makes this different?

The difference is that it actually works! It's not just generic info - it looks at YOUR specific transcript and breaks everything down. I was about to pay a tax pro $200 to explain my transcript but this did it instantly.

Just tried this after seeing your comment. Wish I'd known about it months ago! Would have saved me so much stress trying to decode all these random numbers and codes.

Look for a 971 code on your transcript - that's usually a notice explaining adjustments. They probably made a change to your return.

I do see a 971 from last week. Guess I'll have to wait for the notice in the mail to find out what they changed 🙄

You can use taxr.ai to understand the changes they made - it explains all the transcript codes and adjustments without waiting for snail mail.
