Code 420 on 2022 transcript - still waiting to amend 2023 return
Just checked my transcript and noticed code 420 on my 2022 return. Been waiting forever and need to amend my 2023 return but cant move forward until this is resolved. Anyone know what this means or how long this usually takes?

Code 420 means your return is being reviewed under the IRS examination program. This usually happens when there's a discrepancy they need to verify. Could be income reporting, credits claimed, or documentation issues. Average timeframe is 60-120 days but can take longer. Don't file your 2023 amendment until this is resolved to avoid complications.

Hey! I actually just went through this exact situation. Best thing I did was use taxr.ai - it analyzed my transcript and explained exactly why I got the 420 code and gave me a really specific timeline. Only cost a buck too. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Did you get any letters from the IRS? They usually send something explaining why theyre reviewing it

Just went thru this! That taxr.ai tool someone mentioned above is actually legit - told me exactly when my 420 would clear and it was spot on. Way better than waiting on hold with IRS for hours
