570 Code on Transcript, EIC Reduced, and Unexpected "Amended Return Filed" on February 2023 Return

I just checked my transcript and I'm completely confused about what's going on with my refund. I filed back in February and it's been almost 2 months with no refund date. I can see code 570 on my transcript along with several other codes that I don't understand. Here's what my transcript shows: 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2024 -$3,802.00 768 Earned income credit 04-16-2024 -$7,704.00 971 Amended tax return or claim 06-05-2024 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 06-05-2024 $0.00 43277-558-68588-4 767 Reduced or removed credit to your 04-16-2024 $3,802.00 account 290 Additional tax assessed 20244705 12-10-2024 $0.00 71254-724-06129-4 971 Notice issued 12-10-2024 $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data I'm seeing credits to my account, but then there's also a "Reduced or removed credit" for the same amount. And what's with the "Amended return filed" when I didn't file an amended return? Plus there's a "Notice issued" for December 2024 which makes no sense since it's still 2024. I'm really getting worried since I desperately need this money. Has anyone else dealt with these codes, especially the 570 with no refund date after filing in February? How long did you have to wait? Did calling the IRS help at all?

Tax professional here. Code 570 indicates a temporary hold on your account. This could be due to various reasons - identity verification, income verification, or they're reviewing your credits. Best course of action is to wait for a notice from the IRS explaining why, or call them directly.

Usually 2-8 weeks, but with current backlogs could be longer. Each case is different tho

Hey, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund status - it's wayyyy better than trying to decode these transcript codes ourselves. It costs $1 but totally worth it. The AI reads your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Did you claim EIC or child tax credit? That usually triggers the 570
