Code 570 freeze on transcript but WMR shows PATH Act message - What's happening?

The 570 freeze code is a temporary hold while the IRS reviews your return. Since you're seeing Tax Topic 152, this is actually pretty normal for PATH Act returns. Usually takes 2-3 weeks to clear once you see this combination. Keep checking your transcript for a 571 code which means the freeze was released.
