What does IRS transcript code 830 mean? Still waiting on refund

Code 830 means the IRS has processed your return and determined your refund amount. Its a good sign! Usually means you'll see your refund within 2-3 weeks after this code appears.

Instead of playing detective with these codes, I started using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. Its only $4.99 and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than guessing what all these codes mean https://taxr.ai

stuck in the same boat. these codes are like hieroglyphics fr fr

Mine showed up with a 571 right after. Anyone else?

The IRS system is such a joke fr. Why they gotta make everything so complicated 🤡

Called the IRS about this last month. Agent said 830 is refund approved but doesn't guarantee when it'll hit your account. Could be weeks could be months idk

Same situation here! Got code 830 about 10 days ago and still nothing. Been filed since early February too. At least now I know it means they processed it but man this waiting game is brutal 😤

Code 830 is definitely a positive sign! It means your return has been processed and your refund amount has been approved. I got the same code back in March and my refund showed up about 2 weeks later via direct deposit. The waiting is rough but you're almost there! Just keep checking your bank account regularly - it should hit soon 🤞

Just went through this same situation! Had code 830 appear on my transcript about 3 weeks ago and was freaking out not knowing what it meant. Finally got my refund deposited yesterday! So there's definitely hope - it seems like 2-3 weeks is pretty typical once that code shows up. Hang in there, the wait is almost over! 🙌

Code 830 is actually a really good sign! It means your return has been fully processed and your refund amount has been determined and approved by the IRS. From what I've seen in this community, most people get their refund within 2-4 weeks after the 830 code appears on their transcript. Since you've been waiting since February, I know it's frustrating, but you're definitely in the final stretch now. Keep checking your bank account - it should show up soon! 🤞

Code 830 is definitely progress! I had the same code appear on my transcript back in October and got my refund about 18 days later. The IRS systems have been super backed up this year so the wait times are longer than usual, but 830 means they've finished processing and approved your refund amount. You should see it hit your account within the next few weeks. I know the waiting is brutal when you've been at it since February but you're definitely close to the finish line now! 💪

Code 830 is definitely a good sign! It means your return has been processed and your refund has been approved. I got the same code about 3 weeks ago and was in panic mode not knowing what it meant. My refund finally hit my account yesterday via direct deposit! The timeline seems to vary but most people I've talked to get their money within 2-4 weeks after 830 appears. Since you filed in February you've definitely been through the ringer, but hang tight - you're in the home stretch now! 🙏
