Important Tax Facts Everyone Should Know: W2s, Dependents, and Refund Expectations

Been seeing a lot of confusion about tax refunds lately so let me clear some things up. More income doesnt automatically mean bigger refund. You need to actually pay taxes to get a refund! If youre self employed without kids, you probably gonna owe unless you got W2 income too. And please stop checking WMR every hour - it only updates once a day at like 1am lol. The 21 day thing is real yall.

After 300+ Days of Code 811 Freeze Finally Removed, Hit With New 570 Freeze on $14,722 Refund - What Does This Mean?

After 300+ days of waiting, finally got the code 811 freeze removed after speaking with a tax examiner. Just checked transcripts today and got slapped with a 570 dated 12-30-2024. Anyone know what this means? I'm seriously losing my mind here. Here's my transcript info: RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 16, 2024 PROCESSING DATE Jun. 18, 2024 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20242205 06-18-2024 $14,722.00 70221-423-63495-4 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-16-2024 -$54,000.00 810 Refund freeze 02-09-2024 $0.00 570 Additional account action pending 06-18-2024 $0.00 971 Notice issued 08-27-2024 $0.00 571 Resolved additional account action 12-07-2024 $0.00 811 Removed refund freeze 12-07-2024 $0.00 570 Additional account action pending 12-30-2024 $0.00 I've been dealing with this nightmare since February when they first put the freeze on my refund. My return was filed and processed in June, but they hit me with that first 570 code. Then I got some notice in August (971 code), and finally in December they resolved the issue and removed the freeze (codes 571 and 811). I was so relieved thinking I'd finally get my refund, but today I checked and there's ANOTHER 570 code dated 12-30-2024! After all this waiting, withholding of $54,000 and a refund of $14,722.00, I'm back to "additional account action pending." Does anyone know what this means? Do I have to start this whole process over again? No SE taxable income on my return, so it's not self-employment related. This is absolutely maddening after waiting almost a year already.
