Has anyone tried using one of those tax resolution services? I've seen ads but idk if theyre worth it
Tax resolution services can be a great option for those overwhelmed or unsure. However, they can be pricey, so it's important to do research and ensure the service is reputable.
Hot take: maybe if we simplified the tax code, we wouldn't need all this verification nonsense in the first place π€ Just sayin
You're not wrong! A streamlined tax code could eliminate a lot of these issues.
I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
$20 to talk to the IRS? That's highway robbery! π€¬
Just used it and got through in 30 minutes. Much better than waiting all day!
PSA: If you're a low-income taxpayer, look into the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help you navigate IRS issues for free.
Absolutely, and they're great for providing assistance when you're stuck.
Anyone else feel like they need a degree in tax law just to understand their refund status? π€ #TaxationWithoutComprehension
Have you checked if your refund was offset for any reason? Sometimes they'll use it to pay off other debts you might have with the government. Just a thought!
This happened to me once. They used my refund to pay an old student loan. Totally caught me off guard.
I found a way to solve 810 freeze issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1J7r8u1jY
Account Balance: A negative balance of -$9,428.00 signifies a credit balance on your account as of May 13, 2024. This usually means the owes you a refund. Code 150: Indicates that your tax return was filed on May 13, 2024, with a tax liability of $477.00. Code 810: A freeze was put in place on February 8, 2024. This means that the has temporarily stopped the from being issued. Code 766: A credit of -$9,666.00 was applied to your account on April 15, 2024. This could be indicative of or that have been credited to your account. Code 768: You have an Earned Income Credit () of -$239.00 also dated April 15, 2024. In terms of not receiving your refund, even though you see the credits (codes 766 and 768) on your account, the absence of code 846, which indicates the issuance of a refund, means that the has not yet processed your refund. The presence of the 810 freeze code could be the reason why your hasnβt been issued yet. Given that you have not received a letter and the freeze was applied on February 8, 2024, it would be wise to contact the IRS. The freeze could be due to a variety of issues, such as verifying your identity or information on your return, suspected identity theft, or in your return. The will not lift the freeze until they resolve whatever issue prompted it. Since itβs been some time and you're unsure why your hasn't been released, calling the or seeking the assistance of a tax professional will be your next best step to resolving this issue. They will be able to provide you with specific information regarding the freeze and what actions you may need to take. Here's a video of a method to get someone on the phone at the IRS: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
Have you ever seen the 810 code lift on its own & still recieve a due date or its actually a call thing i have to do ?
An 810 code on an transcript can sometimes be lifted without any action, especially if it was put in place due to a temporary issue that the needed to resolve internally, such as a system error or a brief review process. If the issue is resolved in your favor, the freeze can be lifted, and you may see an update to your transcript with the 846 code, indicating that the has been issued. However, if the freeze is related to verification issues, suspected identity theft, or other concerns that require additional more of your information or clarification, the will typically not lift the 810 code until they have made contact with you and resolved those issues. In these cases, it's common for the to send a asking the taxpayer to call or provide additional information. If your is frozen and you have not received any communication from the after a reasonable amount of time, itβs advisable to proactively reach out to them. They can then inform you whether you need to take any action or if the freeze will be lifted automatically once their internal processes are complete.

Has anyone else noticed that these verification requests seem to be happening more often lately? I wonder if there's been an increase in fraud attempts or if the IRS is just being extra cautious.

β’Now that you mention it, I've heard of a few friends getting these letters too. Maybe it's a new policy or something?

β’I work in cybersecurity, and yeah, tax fraud attempts have been on the rise. The IRS is probably just trying to stay ahead of the curve.

Pro tip: If you have to call, try early in the morning or late in the evening. Wait times are usually shorter then. Also, Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be less busy than Mondays or Fridays. Good luck!
