Reply To: Code 810 Refund Freeze

[Tam4423]

Hi, I just looked on my transcript and I still have no record of income tax filed. However, what did show up today is a 810 Code. I have checked the Offset line and called the IRS 3 times and I am still confused. The first lady was more informative. She said, she did not see anything wrong with my account and the only notes she could see was that my identification number did not come back in time when filing. I am not even sure what that means. Since nothing has changed on my taxes, with the exception that I had gambling winnings this year and I did not get a form for it. So I just filed all the winnings I made on each site together. She told me to wait until after the 19th and they will be able to see more on my account. Has anyone ever had this before and know what the issue could relate too? The lady was very confused on why I would get it, when she saw nothing unusual on my account outside of the code.

810 is a freeze that likely is related to your return being selected for examination (audit). Don’t worry, sometimes it’s a quick process. It’s more involved than a review like 570. But it doesn’t mean fraud.

810 will likely be accompanied at one point by TC 424. That will confirm you are under examination (audit). It can be for a number of different reasons and some are easily resolved. Watch for a notice to be sent. It will tell you exactly what you need to do. Different letters go out for different things depending on what they are examining.

For instance, correspondence auditors usually will send Letter 566S for the audit of a specific item. Letter 566E is typically used for the audit of wages, withholding, and refundable credits, while CP 75 and CP 75A letters are commonly used for correspondence audits involving tax credits. Letter 718 is the Initial Contact Letter typically used for correspondence audits that involve self-employment tax.

Watch the mail.
