570 Hold Code on my 2024 tax transcript since February - What do all these dates (March 3, Mar 10, Apr 15) mean for my refund status?

I checked my transcript and have had that same 570 code for almost 2 months now. Did you ever call the IRS? I'm losing my mind waiting.

Calling the IRS is usually a waste of time with these 570 codes unless it's been more than 8 weeks. They'll just tell you it's under review and to keep waiting. But if you really need to talk to someone, use claimyr.com - it got me through to an agent in about 30 minutes when I was dealing with a similar issue last year.

Thanks, I might try that. I've been trying to call for weeks but can never get through to a human.

What exactly is the taxr site? Does it cost money or is it free? I'm in the same boet with a 570 code since February.

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It's seriously a game changer. It doesn't just read the transcript - it analyzes everything, explains what each code means for YOUR specific situation, and gives you a timeline of what's happening. Saved me hours of googling and stress. It also shows what's likely to happen next based on patterns from similar returns. Completely worth checking out if you're stuck in IRS limbo like I was.

I just tried taxr.ai and oh my god where has this been all my life?! It explained everything that was happening with my return, way beyond what I could figure out on my own. If youre staring at transcript codes trying to decode them like some kind of tax detective, STOP and just use this tool. It literally showed me exactly why my refund was held up and when it would likely be released. Best decision I've made during this whole tax season nightmare!

Is this for real or just another one of those scammy tax tools? My patience is running thin with all these false promises.

I was skeptical too but it's actually legit. I've been dealing with IRS issues for three tax seasons now and this is the first tool that actually made sense of my transcript. No more guessing what all those codes and dates mean.

Do they need all your personal info? Not sure I trust random websites with my tax stuff...

You just upload your transcript that you already downloaded from the IRS. It just reads what's already there and explains it - super straightforward. It's not like those sites that ask for your SSN and all that.

Just tried it and WOW. It literally told me exactly why my refund was delayed (something about a math error they found) and gave me an estimated resolution date. This would have saved me so much anxiety if I'd found it sooner!

Does this actually work? I've been trying to call the IRS for days with no luck.

100% works. I was super skeptical but was desperate after spending literally hours on hold multiple days in a row. The IRS agent called me back and actually fixed my issue right there on the phone.

Is that service expensive? Seems kinda weird to pay just to talk to the IRS.

I mean, after wasting 5+ hours trying to call them myself and missing work, it was the best money I've ever spent to finally get my questions answered. My refund was for thousands of dollars so getting it unstuck was worth every penny.

I tried it too! Got a live agent in about 30 minutes after trying for WEEKS on my own. The agent saw I had a simple verification issue and fixed it right away. My refund was deposited 5 days later. Talking to an agent was literally the only way I could resolve my issue.

Just wanted to come back and say I tried this and IT WORKED. After weeks of frustration, I talked to someone who actually helped me. My transcripts updated the very next day. Thanks for the tip!

THIS!!! 👆 The as of date is just a system date and doesn't really tell you anything useful. It'll drive you crazy watching it bounce around.

For real. Last year my as of date changed like 6 times and it meant absolutely nothing. My refund randomly showed up one day without any rhyme or reason to those dates.

Same boat. I'm convinced they just randomly select returns to delay for no reason. It's all a big scam to hold our money longer.

Exactly. They're quick to take our money but slow af to give refunds. Meanwhile we're all struggling to pay bills while they sit on our cash 🙄

I haven't received anything in the mail yet. Does the transcript usually indicate if they sent a letter? Is there a code for that?

Usually there's a 971 code if they sent a notice. If you don't see that, probably no letter was sent. But sometimes the IRS systems don't talk to each other well so it's worth checking your IRS online account too.

That's reassuring. Did your transcript update with any other codes before you got your refund or did it just go straight from 570 to the refund code?

Mine went from 570 to 571 (hold released) then 846 (refund issued) all on the same day. Didn't see any updates for weeks and then suddenly everything happened at once.

FACTS 💯 They'll fine us $50 for being a day late but can sit on our money for 6 months and be like "sorry about that here's your money with no interest lol"

Its literally our money they're holding hostage. Not even a loan from them. OUR money that WE overpaid. So backwards.

The whole system is designed to be impossible to understand so we just give up and accept whatever they decide. Been that way for decades.

Yeah I check it every day. It's been stuck on "Your tax return is still being processed" for weeks now. Not very helpful unfortunately.

That tool is useless honestly. I've had returns where WMR said still processing even after my refund was in my bank account 🤦‍♂️

Is there anything we can do to speed up the process? Or just wait it out?

Unfortunately waiting is usually the only option unless it's been more than 8 weeks. After that time frame, calling can sometimes help move things along if it's stuck in the system. But before 8 weeks, they'll just tell you to keep waiting.

Thanks, I'll try to find that manual. Do you remember where you found it?

Just google "IRS Internal Revenue Manual transcript codes" - it's publicly available on their website. It's dense reading but has all the official descriptions.

How long did it take from when you talked to the agent until you saw the refund?

About 8 days. Her transcript updated with code 571 (hold released) and 846 (refund issued) on the same day, about a week after the call.

FOR REAL. The system is deliberately complicated so they can keep screwing us over and we have no way to understand what's happening.

Tax code is over 70,000 pages long. No wonder none of us (or even the IRS workers themselves) understand it fully 🤦‍♂️

Just checked it out - wow this is actually super helpful. It explained my 570 code was because of an income verification issue (one of my 1099s had a slight discrepancy). Wish I'd found this weeks ago instead of stressing!
