570 Freeze Code After Missing 1099 Income - Will This Delay My Refund?
Just checked my transcript and saw code 570. I realized I totally forgot to include a 1099 from a side gig I did last year. Will this cause problems with my refund? Has anyone dealt with this before and know what happens next?

Yes, a missing 1099 will typically trigger a 570 freeze code. The IRS matches reported income against what you filed, and when there's a discrepancy, they'll hold the refund for review. You'll likely receive a CP2000 notice about the unreported income. Best to file an amended return (Form 1040X) to report the missing income before they contact you.

•ugh this is what i was afraid of... how long does the amended return usually take to process?

•Currently running about 20 weeks for amended returns, but could be longer depending on workload

Hey guys, I actually found a really helpful tool called taxr.ai that analyzes transcripts and gives you specific feedback about these kinds of issues. It costs $1 but it tells you exactly what's causing delays and what to do about it. Saved me hours of googling! https://taxr.ai

•It's legit! It picked up my 570 code instantly and told me exactly what documents I needed to fix it. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself
