Received old job's W2 for retirement plan (Box 12D) after filing 2024 taxes - Will I get audited?

Just got my refund from state for 2024 taxes but now received a W2 from my old 2023 job showing retirement plan contributions in box 12D. Already filed and got accepted for 2024. Really worried about getting audited now since I didnt include this w2. What should I do?

Similar thing happened to me last year. Called IRS and waited 2 hrs just for them to tell me it was nothing to worry about smh

Quick tip: always keep a folder for each tax year and throw any random w2s or tax docs in there when they come. Saves so much stress later!

Filed MFS 1/23, transcript looks empty - no cycle code showing. Normal for Married Filing Separate?

I filed Married Filing Separately on 1/21 and got accepted 1/23. My transcript is completely empty right now, no cycle code showing up like previous years (usually cycle 05). Spouse filed separately too and claimed one kid while I claimed two. Neither of us have a DDD yet. Anyone else seeing blank transcripts like this?

Did either of you claim EIC? That could slow things down even more with MFS returns.

0 coins

nope, no EIC this year. just regular child tax credit

0 coins

PSA: MFS returns take forever because the IRS has to match both returns. Its like trying to find matching socks in the dryer but worse ๐Ÿงฆ

2024 Tax Return: Accepted 1/22 with 3 dependents - No WMR updates since acceptance

Filed through TurboTax on January 22nd with 3 dependents. Got the acceptance notification but nothing since then. No updates on Where's My Refund tool at all. Starting to get worried since I need this money. Anyone else file around the same time? What's the normal timeline looking like this year?

Pro tip: if u claimed EIC or child tax credit they legally cant release refund b4 feb 27th no matter wat. its part of the PATH act to prevent fraud

Code 570 Holding My $5,579 Refund: Single Filer with $11,043 AGI and EIC on 2024 Transcript

Can someone help me understand my transcript? I'm looking at my 2024 tax return transcript and I'm confused about what I'm seeing. I received my Account Transcript from the Internal Revenue Service (United States Department of the Treasury). It states "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" at the top and bottom of page 1 of 2. According to the transcript, my ACCOUNT BALANCE shows -$5,579.00 as of Feb. 10, 2025. There's $0.00 in ACCRUED INTEREST and $0.00 in ACCRUED PENALTY as of Feb. 10, 2025. The ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount) is -$5,579.00. Under "INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED" it shows: EXEMPTIONS: 02 FILING STATUS: Single ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 11,043.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 0.00 TAX PER RETURN: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: 0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: 0.00 My RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) is Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE is Feb. 24, 2025 In the TRANSACTIONS section, I see these codes: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION - CYCLE - DATE - AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed - 20250603 - 02-24-2025 - $0.00 76221-415-04408-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding - 04-15-2025 - -$549.00 766 Credit to your account - 04-15-2025 - -$1,281.00 570 Additional account action pending - 02-24-2025 - $0.00 768 Earned income credit - 04-15-2025 - -$3,749.00 I know the minus signs signify credit amounts, but I'm not sure if I'm actually getting this refund or if there's some kind of hold because of that 570 code. I see the total credits add up to my account balance (-$549.00 withholding, -$1,281.00 credit to account, and -$3,749.00 earned income credit), but what does "Additional account action pending" mean? Has anyone dealt with this code 570 before? Will this delay my refund? The processing date shows as Feb. 24, 2025, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait until then to receive my refund or if there's something else going on. I'm really trying to understand what this "additional account action pending" means for my refund.

Your AGI is pretty low which might trigger extra review for EIC. Just hang tight.

I used that taxr.ai tool someone mentioned above and it literally told me the exact date my 570 would clear. The AI was spot on! Worth checking out fr

how much did it cost?

just $1! way cheaper than calling those tax advice hotlines or waiting forever on hold with IRS

Name Change Error on Return Causing Refund Hold - Can Tax Advocate Help Speed Up 12-16 Week Delay?

My tax preparer filed using my maiden name instead of my married name. Finally got through to the IRS and they said theyll fix it but looking at 6-8 weeks for the name update plus another 6-8 weeks to remove the refund hold. Anyone dealt with this? Would getting a tax advocate help move things faster?

Went thru this last year. Took exactly 14 weeks total but I did get it eventually. Just gotta wait it out unfortunately
