$7,595 Head of Household Refund with EIC Stuck on Code 570 Since April 17 - Transcript Shows Processing but No Update

I filed my taxes on March 13th and my transcript shows code 570 (additional account action pending) as of 04-17-2023. I'm worried because I need my refund and don't understand what's happening. Looking at my account transcript I requested on 03-31-2023 (and received the same day), here's what I'm seeing: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2022 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$7,595.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Apr. 17, 2023 ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Apr. 17, 2023 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS: -$7,595.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED: EXEMPTIONS: 02 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $27,906.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $8,506.00 TAX PER RETURN: $0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: $0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: $0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: $0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 15, 2023 PROCESSING DATE: Apr. 17, 2023 TRANSACTIONS: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20231305 04-17-2023 $0.00 30221-473-02327-3 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2023 -$3,960.00 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2023 -$1,147.00 768 Earned income credit 04-15-2023 -$2,488.00 570 Additional account action pending 04-17-2023 $0.00 My refund amount is supposed to be $7,595.00, which includes $3,960.00 in W-2/1099 withholdings, $1,147.00 in credits, and $2,488.00 in earned income credit. The processing date shows as April 17, 2023, and the code 570 was posted on 04-17-2023 with a cycle number of 20231305. Anyone know what's going on with this 570 code or how long this might take to resolve? I'm really counting on this refund and getting anxious about the delay.

The transcript shows your return was filed with a total expected refund of $7,595, broken down into three main components: $3,960 in W-2/1099 withholdings (code 806), $1,147 in credits (code 766), and $2,488 in Earned Income Credit (code 768). Your return was processed on April 17, 2023 (cycle 20231305), and a code 570 (Additional account action pending) was posted the same day. This code indicates the IRS has temporarily frozen your refund for review, which is particularly common with returns claiming Earned Income Credit. Your filing status as Head of Household with an AGI of $27,906 and taxable income of $8,506 appears to qualify you for the credits claimed. With no self-employment tax and zero tax liability per return, all withholdings and credits are being refunded to you. Based on the hold date of 04-17-2023, you should expect resolution within 60-120 days unless the IRS requires additional documentation from you. The absence of any accrued penalties or interest suggests there are no compliance issues identified at this time.

Code 570 with EIC claims typically triggers an automatic review that can take 60-120 days, but there are a few things you can do while waiting. First, check your mail daily for any CP75 or similar notices requesting documentation - missing these will extend your delay significantly. You can also call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 (best times are 7am or after 6pm) to see if they need anything specific from you. If you're experiencing financial hardship, contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service at 1-877-777-4778. Your transcript looks clean with no red flags, so this is likely just routine verification of your EIC eligibility based on your filing status and income level.
