To find out how you can unfreeze your tax refund you should call the IRS customer service at 1-800-829-1040.
The IRS freezes the returns of possible tax identity theft victims, as a precaution. The bad news is, such a case takes typically 120 days to resolve. It’s best to act immediately when you receive a letter from the IRS saying your return has been frozen.
