00000-000-92000-0<DLN                             BOD-CD>WI

DLN: Document Locator Number A unique 14-digit tracking control number assigned to the tax return when received (by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to every tax return and document processed). It acts as a digital "barcode" or filing catalog number to help track, locate, and retrieve physical or electronic copies of specific tax records.
BOD-CD>WI: Operating Division Code W&I (Wage and Investment Division).

DLN Structure (14 Digits)

XX - X - XX - XXX - XXX - XX - X.

Code	Digits	What It Means	Quick Example
Location	1–2	IRS Processing Center	`09` = Ogden, `12` = Cincinnati
Tax Type	3	Type of tax filed/Tax Class/Type	`1` = Individual (1040) , `2`= Fiduciary Income Tax (Form 1041),`3` = Business/Corporate Tax (Form 1120/941),`4` = Partnership Tax (Form 1065),`6` = Estate/Gift Tax
Doc Class	4–5	Specific form number (Indicates the specific form or schedule being processed)	`10` = Form 1040, `05` = Form 941
Julian Date	6–8	Day of the year processed	`045` = Feb 14th
Block No.	9–11	Batch/Folder number	`123` = Batch 123
Serial No.	12–13	Form position in batch	`01` = 1st form
Year	14	Processing year	`6` = 2026

Example Breakdown

If your DLN is 09110045123016:

09: Processed at the Ogden IRS center.
1: Individual income tax (Form 1040).
10: Standard Form 1040 document class.
045: Processed on the 45th day of the year (February 14).
123: Processed in Batch/Block #123.
01: Item #1 inside that batch.
6: Processed in 2026.

4. Why Do You Need a DLN?

Tracking Refunds & Adjustments: Helps the IRS locate the exact paper file or electronic entry if there is a discrepancy.
Audit & Appeals Support: Used by tax professionals when requesting specific case files from the IRS.
State & Federal Verification: Certain government agencies request the DLN to verify that a tax return was officially received and logged by the IRS.

MF-XTRCT-CYC>20232605: Master File Extract Cycle Processed in Year 2023, Week 26, Day 05 (Thursday). Note that the "year" in this cycle refers to the processing year of the extract, not necessarily the tax year of the return itself.This is the internal computer batch code telling you when the IRS system pulled (extracted) this account data to update or process it.
SC-REASON-CD>HH: Special Condition / Reason Code System control flag used during posting. HH stands for "Hold / Freeze" or "Identity/Return Verification Hold."
- It works directly with the line below it in the transcript (FRZ> -R), which stands for Refund Freeze.
- It tells the system: "Do not automatically issue this $1,565 refund check yet because a specific hold condition (HH) was triggered during the week 26 extract."

Putting It All Together (How to Read the Story)

The taxpayer filed a Married Filing Jointly (FS>2) Form 1040 for Tax Period 202212.
Their reported Tax Liability was $2,184.00 (TC 150) and Withholding was $3,749.00 (TC 806).
Subtracting Tax ($2,184.00) from Credit ($3,749.00) leaves an overpayment of $1,565.00 (MOD-BAL> 1565.00-).
Because an Injured Spouse claim was filed (DDRR-CD>10), the system automatically placed an -R Freeze (FRZ> -R) to hold the $1,565.00 refund until the IRS computes the allocation between the primary taxpayer and spouse.

What to expect:

1. What the Taxpayer is Calling About

The taxpayer is usually calling because their tax refund is held or delayed (or they received an IRS notice/letter regarding their return).

They filed a joint return (Filing Status 2) expecting a refund of $1,565.00 (Withholding of $3,749.00 minus Tax Liability of $2,184.00), but they haven't received the money because an -R Freeze is active on the account.

2. What the IRS Employee Checks First (Account Diagnostics)

When you review the TXMODA screen on IDRS:

FRZ> -R: Confirms a refund hold is active.
DDRR-CD>10: Confirms an Injured Spouse Claim (Form 8379) was received with the return.
FS>2: Confirms a Married Filing Jointly return.
CS-CTRL-INFO>NO CASE CONTROLS: Shows no employee is currently working the case.

3. What the IRS Employee Explains to the Taxpayer

Explain the Hold: "Your refund is currently on hold because an Injured Spouse allocation (Form 8379) was filed with your joint tax return."
Explain the Reason: "When one spouse has a past-due debt (such as back taxes, student loans, or child support), Form 8379 protects the non-liable spouse's share of the overpayment so it isn't seized."
Provide Frame / Timeline: "The IRS must process the allocation formulas to determine how much of the $1,565.00 refund belongs to the injured spouse versus how much goes toward the debt."

4. How to Resolve / Solve the Issue

To resolve an -R freeze caused by an Injured Spouse claim, refer to IRM 21.5.6.4.35 and IRM 21.4.6.5.2:

Verify Processing Timeframes:

Paper / Attached with Return: Normal processing time is 11 to 14 weeks from the date the return was received (04/15/2023 in this case).
If Filed Electronically: Processing time is typically 11 weeks.

Check System Status:

If the time frame has not passed, advise the caller that the claim is processing and provide the expected date.
If the time frame has passed, check system logs to see if the allocation is pending in the Injured Spouse unit or needs to be referred to the specialized processing team via Form 4442/IDRS case control.

Releasing the Freeze (System Action):

Once the allocation is computed by the processing unit, the non-liable spouse's portion is released via TC 290 / TC 846 (Refund release).
The -R freeze automatically clears once the adjustment/allocation transaction posts to the Master File.
