570 Code on My Transcript - What Does It Mean and How Long Is the Wait?

The 570 code basically means there's a temp hold on ur refund. It's not necessarily bad news tho. Common reasons for 570: - ID verification needed - Math error on return - Income discrepancy - Missing info - Random review Usually resolves in 2-4 wks, but could be longer. Check if there's a 971 code too - that means they sent u a notice explaining why. Def keep an eye on ur mail. Might wanna check WMR daily too for updates.

Think of the 570 code like a yellow light at an intersection - it's telling you to pause, but you'll be moving again soon. I've seen this happen to many military families during tax season. If you need to talk to an actual human at the IRS (which is like trying to find a unicorn these days), I'd recommend Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). It's like having a FastPass at Disney World but for the IRS phone system. They'll call and navigate the IRS phone tree for you, then call you when they've got an agent on the line. Saved me hours of frustration during my last PCS when I had a similar hold.

I had the same code! Here's what I learned: • 570 is an "additional account action pending" code • It often appears with code 971 (notice issued) • Most common resolution times I've seen: - 2-3 weeks for simple verification issues - 4-6 weeks for income verification - 8+ weeks for identity theft concerns • The 570 will usually be followed by a 571 code when the hold is released Wow, I never realized how complicated tax codes could be until I went through this myself!

Had the same issue. Got the 570 code. Waited three weeks. No movement. Finally tried taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It explained exactly what my 570 meant. Showed me what to expect next. Predicted my refund date perfectly. Saved me so much stress during my deployment preparations.

I would suggest a different approach than just waiting. In my professional experience, it may be worth checking if you have access to the specific notice that triggered the 570 code. This could potentially give you more clarity about the nature of the hold. If you have online account access with the IRS, you might be able to view any notices there rather than waiting for mail, which could be problematic during a PCS.

Did you check if there's a 971 code on your transcript too? What about a date next to the 570 code? Is there any amount listed with the 570? These details can help narrow down what's happening.

I had a 570 code last year when we were stationed at Fort Liberty. It took exactly 5 weeks to resolve in my case. The IRS was reviewing my Child Tax Credit amounts. I remember being so frustrated because we were also in the middle of a move. If you're PCSing, make sure the IRS has your forwarding address so you don't miss any notices they send.
