IRS Transcript Code 811: Refund Freeze Reversed
The 810 freeze lifted, fully or partly.
The official definition, IRS Document 6209
Reverse Refund Freeze. Reverses TC 810 in whole or in part. TC 811 with zero will reverse the TC 810 and allow release of all credit, providing no other freezes are in effect.
What it means for your refund
Cleared to move, subject to Document 6209's own qualifier: providing no other freezes are in effect. The 846 that follows is the confirmation.
Reading the transcript around it
Codes rarely act alone: holds (570, 810) pair with releases (571, 811), a 971 often flags the letter that explains a hold, and the refund itself is always the 846 line. The full code index maps the neighbors, including the cycle code and As-of date explained without the folklore. If the account shows a balance rather than a refund, the letters that follow are decoded in our IRS notice decoder.
