$5,586 Tax Refund Stuck on Code 570 Since April 2023 - Single Filer with $72K AGI & No Movement for 11 Months

I just pulled my transcript for my 2022 tax return and I'm seeing a 570 code (Additional account action pending) dated 04-03-2023. My expected refund should be $5,586.00 according to my transcript. I filed Single status with an AGI of $72,000.00 and taxable income of $59,050.00. My W2 withholding shows exactly $14,200.00 against a tax liability of $8,614.00. I filed back in March (the transcript shows a request date of 03-17-2023), and I'm getting worried since it's been almost a year with this pending status. The processing date shows as Apr. 03, 2023, and my return was filed under cycle 20231105 (reference 32221-423-58877-3). Here's what my transcript shows: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2022 TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: XXX-XX-0550 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -5,586.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Apr. 03, 2023 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Apr. 03, 2023 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -5,586.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED: EXEMPTIONS: 01 FILING STATUS: Single ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 72,000.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 59,050.00 TAX PER RETURN: 8,614.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: 0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: 0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 15, 2023 PROCESSING DATE: Apr. 03, 2023 TRANSACTIONS: CODE | EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 | Tax return filed | 20231105 | 04-03-2023 | $8,614.00 32221-423-58877-3 806 | W-2 or 1099 withholding | | 04-15-2023 | -$14,200.00 570 | Additional account action pending | | 04-03-2023 | $0.00 I requested this transcript on 03-17-2023 and received it the same day with tracking number 104169302577. The website header shows "Internal Revenue Service, United States Department of the Treasury" and says "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" at both the top and bottom. Can anyone explain what this additional account action pending means and why it's taking so long? This is a significant refund amount and I'm getting concerned about the delay. I expected to receive $5,586.00 (the difference between my withholding and my tax liability), but it's been almost a year with no movement beyond this 570 code.

Your transcript details show a standard tax return filing with a 570 hold code dated 04-03-2023. The numbers align perfectly - your W-2 withholdings of $14,200 against a tax liability of $8,614 correctly calculate to the expected refund of $5,586. Your AGI of $72,000 and taxable income of $59,050 appear normal for a single filer. The transcript shows your return was processed under cycle 20231105 (indicating the 11th week of 2023), with a processing date of April 3rd, 2023. There's no indication of self-employment income or additional tax assessments, which is good. The absence of any accrued penalties or interest charges as of April 3rd, 2023 suggests this is likely a routine review rather than a compliance issue. The transaction codes present (150 for tax return filed, 806 for withholding credits, and 570 for pending action) are typical processing codes. The reference number 32221-423-58877-3 is your unique processing identifier. While the 570 code has delayed your refund, there are no indicators of audit activity (like a CP05 notice) or serious compliance concerns in your transcript. Given these details, this appears to be a standard review hold that often resolves within 2-3 processing cycles without requiring any action from you.
