$9,120 Tax Refund On Hold - TC 570/971 Dated 2/24/25 - HOH with 3 Dependents - What's Next?

I just checked my transcript and I see my refund amount is -$10,120.00 but there's a 570 and 971 code at the bottom. Both dated 2/24/25. Anyone know what this means for my refund? I filed HOH with 3 dependents. Here's the full transcript I'm looking at: ANY MINUS SIGN SHOWN BELOW SIGNIFIES A CREDIT AMOUNT ACCOUNT BALANCE: -10,120.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 26, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 26, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -10,120.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED.. EXEMPTIONS: 03 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 33,691.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 11,791.00 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. 17, 2025 PROCESSING DATE Feb. 26, 2025 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250605 02-26-2025 $0.00 70211-428-04659-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-17-2025 -$1,745.00 766 Credit to your account 04-17-2025 -$2,922.00 768 Earned income credit 04-17-2025 -$5,453.00 570 Additional account action pending 02-26-2025 $0.00 971 Notice issued 02-26-2025 $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data The refund breaks down as follows: $1,745.00 in W-2 withholding, $2,922.00 in credits, and $5,453.00 for earned income credit, totaling $10,120.00. I'm confused because the codes appeared after my return was processed on 2/26/2025 (cycle 20250605). I can see the 570 code (Additional account action pending) and 971 (Notice issued) both dated 2/26/2025. There's no penalties or interest showing (both $0.00 as of 2/26/2025). Has anyone dealt with these codes before? Will I still get my refund or is there a problem? I'm worried because the 570 says "Additional account action pending" but doesn't explain what action. And what kind of notice is the 971 code referring to? Really hoping this doesn't delay my refund.

The transcript shows a total expected refund of $9,120.00, broken down into three components: $1,645.00 in W-2 withholding (code 806), $2,822.00 in credits (code 766), and $4,653.00 in Earned Income Credit (code 768). As a Head of Household filer with 3 exemptions, your adjusted gross income is $33,691.00 with taxable income of $11,791.00. The presence of both TC 570 (Additional account action pending) and TC 971 (Notice issued) on February 24, 2025, typically indicates your return is under review. These codes appearing on the same date is a common pattern when the IRS needs to verify certain information. You should receive a notice explaining what additional information or verification they need - this could be identity verification, income documentation, or dependent verification given your filing status and credits claimed. Your account shows no penalties or interest accrued as of February 24, 2025, and your return was processed in cycle 20250605. While your return is being processed before the due date of April 15, 2025, the review indicated by these codes may cause a temporary delay in receiving your refund until the IRS completes their verification process.
