Filed 01/24/25: 570 Code on $635 Refund Still Pending After 2 Months - What Does This Mean?

Filed my taxes back in February and my transcript shows a 570 code with a pending message. No other updates or changes for weeks now. Anyone know what this actually means? The IRS website is super vague and the phone lines are impossible to get through. Here's my tax situation: I filed on 01/25/25 and should be getting a $635 refund total. My IRS transcript shows my federal return is PENDING with a refund amount of $477. I submitted that on 01/27/2025. My State AL return is also still showing as PENDING with a refund of $158, which I submitted on 01/24/2025. My tax software shows: - $635 total refund - Submitted status - Pending IRS Refund (est. delivery date was showing but now there's just a dash) - FEDERAL: PENDING $477 (01/27/2025) - STATE AL: PENDING $158 (01/24/2025) I've checked the "Where's my refund?" tool multiple times but just get the same pending message. I'm wondering if the 570 code means there's a problem with my return or if it's just a normal processing delay? Has anyone else had their refund stuck like this with a 570 code? This is really frustrating since I filed nearly two months ago and haven't seen any movement.

Tax pro here - a 570 code means there's a hold on your account. This could be for various reasons: identity verification, income verification, or they're reviewing something that looks off to them. Usually followed by a 971 notice code explaining why.

Thanks! Do you know how long these holds typically last? Getting desperate here 😩

Honestly it varies wildly. Could be 2 weeks, could be several months. Check your mailbox for any IRS notices - they'll send instructions if they need anything from you.

Hey guys, I've been helping people figure out their transcripts for a while now and honestly the best tool I've found is taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to expect. It's $4.99 but worth every penny. Check it out at https://taxr.ai

100% legit. It uses AI to read all the codes and gives you a detailed timeline. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold with the IRS forever

Check if you got any letters in the mail. I ignored one thinking it was junk and that's what caused my delay 🤦‍♂️

Did you claim EIC or child tax credit? Those usually get extra scrutiny and longer processing times
