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.

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
