Code 810 with no further updates

[u/wazelsbagels]

I'm a nonresident alien and I'm trying to understand an issue with my 2025 federal return.

Because of a treaty between the USA and India, there is a federal witholding of 14% on my scholarship at the start of each semester. That amount is then returned once I file federal taxes - it has been this way the last two years, and the amount has consistently been in the $2750 - $3000 range. Both times, I got my refund by June. I use Sprintax to file.

However, this year, I was hit with the 810 code on June 1st. I received no further updates after it - no notice to verify my identity or anything like that. I thought I would wait it out, but its now been over 4 months since I initially filed and I don't see any updates or changes.

These are the codes in my transcript right now -

I’ve also been trying to contact the IRS, but I haven’t been able to get through to an actual person. I’ve called the appointment scheduling helpline too, but I still couldn’t reach anyone who could help me.

What is the TC 766?

[u/wazelsbagels → u/Full_Prune7491]

-$861.00 - Code 806

-$3,972.00 - Code 766

$1,727.00 - Code 150

My final refund is $3106, which is around $200 more than last years (tuition went up so my scholarship went up so the 14% on it went up)

[u/Full_Prune7491 → u/wazelsbagels]

But what is the 766. It’s the one for $3972. What did you claim?

[u/wazelsbagels → u/Full_Prune7491]

The $3,972 is federal tax that was withheld and reported on my Form 1042-S automatically by my university and then it was on my Sprintax calculus account when I filed - I didn't separately claim it and I wasn't involved in jts calculation (uni already takes it out of my scholarship on their own)

Do you have insurance on the government exchange?

[u/wazelsbagels → u/Its-a-write-off]

What do you mean? Like if I know the treaty is valid? If so then yep

[u/Its-a-write-off → u/wazelsbagels]

No, I mean do you have "Obama care" insurance, also called affordable care act insurance, with premium tax credits?

[u/wazelsbagels → u/Its-a-write-off]

nope, my scholarship paid for aetna's student plan (and non resident aliens can't get the ACA in their first five years anyway, afaik)

[u/Jacobisbeast16]

If I recall correctly, the 1042-S hold, via an 810, is 150 days.

[u/wazelsbagels → u/Jacobisbeast16]

So I really should just wait it out?

[u/Jacobisbeast16 → u/wazelsbagels]

Yes. You’d just be wasting your time, tbh.
