What Does Code 290 with 02-10-2025 Date Mean for My Amended Return Refund of $8,018?

Just checked my transcript and saw code 290 for my 2023 taxes. There's a date of 02-10-2025 next to it with cycle code 20250405. I'm wondering if that's when they'll review my return again? Really need this refund and trying to understand what this means for processing time. Here's what my transcript is showing: Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury Request Date: 01-26-2025 Response Date: 01-26-2025 Account Transcript FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2023 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$9,018.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 10, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 10, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -$9,018.00 ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED ** EXEMPTIONS: 02 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $25,550.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $3,750.00 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, 2024 PROCESSING DATE Apr 08, 2024 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed | 20241205 | 04-08-2024 | $0.00 70211-419-23806-4 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding | | 04-15-2024 | -$3,005.00 766 Credit to your account | | 04-15-2024 | -$2,600.00 768 Earned income credit | | 04-16-2024 | -$4,513.00 570 Additional account action pending | | 04-08-2024 | $0.00 960 Appointed representative | | 03-21-2024 | $0.00 971 Amended tax return or claim | | 09-11-2024 | $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed | | 09-11-2024 | $0.00 43277-657-00985-4 290 Additional tax assessed | 20250405 | 02-10-2025 | $0.00 33254-421-05631-5 I filed back in April 2024 and had an amended return filed on 09-11-2024. I see the 570 code "Additional account action pending" from 04-08-2024, but I'm mostly concerned about what this 290 code dated 02-10-2025 means for my refund timing. Does this mean they're still reviewing my amended return? I filed Head of Household with 2 exemptions and I'm expecting around $9,018 back based on the account balance. I really need this money soon.

Hey there! So code 290 on your transcript basically means the IRS has finished processing your return. The date next to the 290 is super important - its usually when you can expect things to start moving. Quick tip: I've been using taxr.ai to decode all these transcript codes and get real-time updates. Its way better than trying to figure this stuff out alone or waiting on hold with the IRS for hours. You can upload your transcript there and it'll break everything down, including what that 290 date means for your specific situation. Check it out at https://taxr.ai
