570 Code on My Transcript - Anyone Else Dealing With This?

I had this exact code pop up last week! I freaked out at first but then found out it just means they're reviewing something. It doesn't automatically mean audit. In my case they just needed to verify some info. Check if you also have a 971 code - that usually means they sent a notice explaining what's happening.

Oh my goodness, I had the 570 code last month and was SO stressed about it! 😫 I claimed the Child Tax Credit and apparently that triggered some kind of review. The worst part was not knowing how long it would take! Mine cleared after 16 days and then I got my refund about a week later. Hang in there - it's probably nothing serious!

I got the 570 code on March 4th last year. It was so frustrating because I couldn't get through to anyone at the IRS. Called for 3 days straight, always got the "high call volume" message. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) which got me through to an actual agent in about 25 minutes. They explained that my return was flagged for income verification but that it was just routine. Refund showed up 11 days later. Worth the fee to avoid the stress of not knowing what was happening.

Does anyone know if there's a difference between a 570 code that appears alone versus one that appears with other codes? I'm wondering if certain code combinations tell you more about what's being reviewed or how long it might take?

Just a word of caution - I ignored my 570 code last year thinking it would resolve itself. Turns out they needed additional documentation that I missed in a letter they sent. Ended up waiting almost 3 months for my refund! 😩 Don't be like me - if you get any mail from the IRS, open it immediately! Sometimes what seems like a small issue can snowball if you don't address it quickly.

The 570 code typically means there's a temporary hold on your refund while they review something. I had this happen on February 17th this year. From what I've gathered from various forums, the resolution time depends on the specific issue: - Simple verification: 2-3 weeks - Income verification: 3-5 weeks - Identity verification: 4-6 weeks - Audit concerns: 6+ weeks Most people seem to have it resolve within 21 days though. Keep an eye out for a 571 code - that means the issue was resolved.

After you see the 570 code, how long does it typically take to receive the notice in the mail? It's been exactly 7 days since I saw the code appear on my transcript, but I haven't received anything from the IRS yet. Should I be concerned?

Had 570 last month. Called IRS. They said math error. Fixed it. Got refund 9 days later. Check WMR daily. It updates before transcript sometimes.
