Hi all, I filed my taxes on turbo tax and they were accepted January 26th 2026. I filed jointly with my wife. I was given code 810 (refund freeze) on 1-30-2026. Code 806 on 4-15-2026. And Code 150 on 2-23-2026.

    I know my mistake was I switched a digit on the federal withholding on my wife’s w-2 so my refund will be lower by around $450 and I’m sure that’s what triggered the 1242.

    I did call and they said to amend the return and she did notice the discrepancy. There are no letters, identity information, or audits going on. I have been searching the web on what to do and seems like the most common advice is to wait until they automatically process it.

    I will say my income showed a big loss because of a rental project I am doing for my business, but I still took standard deduction for my wife and I. Only other income is w-2s. I didn’t do any tax credits.

    Is it better to just amend the return now and make that correction or keep waiting, for the quickest way to get the refund unfrozen?

    Should I just amend my taxes after getting a 1242 reference code?
