810 Refund Freeze Code on My 2022 Transcript Despite "Return Not Present" Status - Dated March 9

I just checked my 2022 tax transcript and I'm completely confused. Looking at my Account Transcript right now dated April 03, 2023 from the Internal Revenue Service (United States Department of the Treasury), it's showing "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" but has a 810 refund freeze code from March 9, 2023. The transcript header specifically states "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" and lists the TAX PERIOD as Dec. 31 2022. My account balance shows $0.00, with $0.00 in accrued interest (AS OF: Apr 03, 2023) and $0.00 in accrued penalties (AS OF: Apr. 03, 2023). The "ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount)" also shows $0.00. Under "** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED **", it lists: EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Single But then has completely blank spaces for: - ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME - TAXABLE INCOME - TAX PER RETURN - SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER - SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE - TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX And right below that in bold text it states: "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" Under the TRANSACTIONS section, it literally just shows two lines: "No tax return filed" "810 Refund freeze" dated 03-09-2023 for $0.00 I definitely filed my 2022 return! What does this mean and has anyone dealt with this before? I'm especially concerned about why there's a refund freeze code (810) when it's not even showing my return as filed in the system! How can they freeze a refund for a return they claim doesn't exist?

The transcript shows several concerning indicators about your 2022 tax return status. While you have a $0.00 account balance with no accrued interest or penalties as of April 3, 2023, the key issue is the "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" message combined with an 810 freeze code dated March 9, 2023. The system has your basic information (filing status as Single with 00 exemptions) but all crucial financial fields are blank - including Adjusted Gross Income, Taxable Income, and Self Employment Tax. This, combined with the "No tax return filed" transaction note, suggests your return is either: - Still in initial processing stages - Flagged for manual review before entering the main system - Potentially lost or delayed in transmission The 810 freeze code is particularly unusual in this scenario, as it's typically applied to returns that are in the system but need review. Having this code present while the return shows as "not present" could indicate your return was received but is held in a preliminary processing stage. Given these contradictory indicators, you should contact the IRS directly to determine the exact status of your return and why it's showing these mixed signals in their system.
