570 Code on Transcript - Anyone Get Updates or Resolution?

I've had the 570 code for about a week now... From what I understand, it *might* mean they're reviewing something on your return. Could be verification of income, credits claimed, or possibly identity verification. I'm hesitant to say for sure, but many people seem to get a 571 code afterward which releases the hold. Then again, some people get additional notices...

I got a 570 code last month. Call them. Don't wait. I waited three weeks thinking it would resolve itself. It didn't. When I finally called, there was a simple verification they needed. Fixed it right there on the phone. Got my refund a week later. Don't make my mistake.

I spent 4 days trying to reach the IRS after getting a 570 code. Kept getting disconnected or told to call back later. Has anyone actually managed to get through? I finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got connected to an agent in about 25 minutes. But now I'm wondering - did talking to the agent actually help speed things up? Or would it have resolved on its own anyway? The agent said my return was under review but couldn't tell me why or how long it would take. Is calling even worth it?

Got a 570 code back in Feb. Freaked out at first ngl. Here's what happened: - Feb 12: Filed return - Feb 28: 570 code appeared - Mar 7: Got a CP05 notice saying they were reviewing - Mar 21: 571 code appeared (release) - Mar 28: DDD set and $ arrived Total wait was ~6 wks from filing. No action needed on my part. They were just double-checking my W2 info. Seems like they're doing more random reviews this yr. Just gotta wait it out sometimes.

I've been stuck with a 570 code for exactly 37 days now. Called the IRS 4 times. Each time they said something different. First it was "just wait 21 days." Then it was "we need to verify your identity." Then "we're reviewing your return." Now it's "we're missing information from your employer." I'm out $4,623 that I desperately need for medical bills. My advice? Call ASAP and keep detailed notes of every conversation including agent ID numbers. Their system is completely broken this year.

Just to clarify for everyone - a 570 code means "additional account action pending" which could be many different things. Have you checked if there's a 971 code as well? That would indicate a notice was sent. Did you claim any credits like EITC or CTC? Those can trigger automatic reviews, right? And have you verified that your transcript shows the correct address in case they're trying to contact you?

The 570 code is like a yellow traffic light in the IRS processing system - it's not a full stop, just a pause while they check something. I've seen this happen to many people this tax season. The good news is that for most folks, it resolves within 2-3 weeks without any action needed. Think of it as your return going through an extra security checkpoint at the airport - annoying but usually just a brief delay. If you're worried, you can always call, but be prepared for a long wait or busy signals - it's like trying to get concert tickets when they first go on sale.
