Code 810 and 570 on transcript - IRS says 180 day review?
I have code 810 on my transcript. I have code 570 also. I called the IRS yesterday. They said my taxes are under review for 180 days. This is my first time dealing with this. Has anyone experienced this issue? Did you receive your refund earlier than the timeframe they gave?

I've seen this combination of codes before. The 810 code indicates a freeze related to unreported income or potential identity verification. The 570 is an additional credit hold. Back in 2022, I had a similar situation. IRS told me 120 days, but it was actually resolved in 62 days. These timeframes are usually worst-case scenarios to manage expectations. They need to verify something specific on your return that triggered their filters.

•According to IRS Internal Revenue Manual section 21.5.6.4.35, code 810 specifically indicates a Fraud Program freeze. Per IRM 5.1.11.6.1, this is not necessarily an accusation of fraud but a protective measure when certain criteria are met. Is there any way to determine what triggered this?

•Wow thx for explaining those codes! Had no idea what they meant. The IRS website is so confusing lol. Never seen an 810 before but had a 570 last yr and still got my refund after like 6 wks.

•I experienced this exact code combination during the 2023 filing season. The 810 Freeze was placed due to income verification issues. The system automatically flags returns with significant income changes year-over-year. In my case, the IRS was cross-referencing W-2 information with what employers reported. The process completed in approximately 73 days rather than the full 180 days they initially quoted.

I'm fairly certain that the 810 code usually means they're checking for possible identity theft or potentially unreported income. It might be triggered if there's a significant change in your filing pattern compared to previous years, or possibly if someone else tried using your SSN. The 180-day timeframe is probably their standard maximum review period, but in my experience, these reviews can sometimes be completed much sooner, depending on their current workload and the complexity of your specific case.

•Had this last year and was freaking out too! 😅 Turned out my previous employer reported my income wrong. Called IRS every week (yeah I was THAT person) and around day 65 suddenly everything was fixed. Got my refund a week later. Sometimes persistence pays off!

•This happened to me in 2023 after I started a side business. They told me 180 days too, but I actually got my refund after about 90 days. It was stressful because I was counting on that money for some home repairs. I ended up having to provide some additional documentation about my business income, but once I did that things moved along faster.

•Does having these codes impact future tax filings? Will next year's return be flagged automatically because of this year's review?

•Anyone else notice how the IRS always gives these extreme timeframes? 180 days? Really? Why can't they just be honest about how long these reviews actually take? Is it just to cover themselves legally or do some cases actually take that long?

Let me walk you through what's happening. Step 1: The 810 code indicates a potential identity verification issue. Step 2: The 570 code freezes your refund until the review is complete. Step 3: During this time, the IRS is likely comparing your reported income with information from employers/banks. Step 4: You don't need to do anything unless they send you a letter requesting documentation. Step 5: Many of these reviews resolve in 60-90 days rather than the full 180. I went through this exact process last tax season and it was nerve-wracking but eventually resolved.

I had these exact codes on March 12, 2024. Called the IRS on March 15 and waited 3+ hours only to be disconnected. Tried again on March 16 - same result. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) on March 18 and got through to an agent in about 22 minutes. The agent confirmed my review but also noted it was a routine verification and gave me specific steps to potentially expedite the process. If you're facing financial hardship because of the delay, the agent can sometimes prioritize your case - but you need to actually reach someone first.

I believe I may have some information that could help. The 810 code typically indicates that your return has been selected for the IRS Income Verification Program. This happens when there might be a discrepancy between what you reported and what was reported to the IRS by employers, banks, or other institutions. The 570 code is a refund hold until the review is complete. While they say 180 days, many of these cases resolve in 60-90 days. I would suggest checking your transcript weekly for updates. If you received any 1099 forms or had multiple income sources, double-check that everything was reported correctly. If you receive a letter requesting documentation, respond promptly with exactly what they ask for - nothing more, nothing less.

Oh man, I feel your pain! The 810 code is specifically for the IRS Fraud Detection program, but don't panic! This doesn't mean they think you committed fraud. It's just their automatic system flagging returns that meet certain criteria. The 570 code is just a temporary hold on your refund while they review. I'm actually really surprised they told you 180 days - that's their absolute maximum timeframe. Most of these reviews are completed much faster! Have you received any letters from the IRS yet? Usually they'll send a 4883C or 5071C letter if they need additional verification from you. If not, it might just be an automated review that will clear on its own.

TC 810 indicates an Unreported Income Program freeze, while TC 570 is a standard refund hold. The IRS AUR (Automated Underreporter) system likely flagged a discrepancy between your reported income and information they received from third parties. The 180-day timeframe is their standard maximum for these reviews, but internal IRS metrics show the average resolution time is closer to 75-90 days. Most taxpayers in this situation receive their refunds without any additional action required.

I have the 570 code first then got the 810 code later an a processing date of April 21 2025 but that date passed all ready an didn’t update on that day an it’s still saying that date for processing. So now the only thing that changes is my as of date which is may 12 2025 also I had to verify an I did it march 24 2024 am my where my refund page is saying tax return received an it’s being processed what do all this mean

I'm sorry you're going through this stressful situation! From what you've described, it sounds like you completed identity verification back in March 2024, which is good. The fact that your processing date of April 21, 2025 has passed without updating, combined with only your "as of date" changing to May 12, 2025, suggests your return is still in the review process. The "Where's My Refund" tool showing "received and being processed" is pretty standard language during these extended reviews. Since you already completed verification and it's been over a year, I'd strongly recommend calling the IRS again to get a status update. Sometimes these cases get stuck in the system and need a manual push from an agent. The combination of 570 and 810 codes typically resolves faster than what you're experiencing, so there might be an additional issue that needs to be addressed. Don't give up - keep following up!

•This is really frustrating! A whole year since verification and still waiting? That's way beyond the normal timeframe. Have you tried contacting your local Taxpayer Advocate Service? They can sometimes help with cases that have been stuck in the system for an unusually long time. Also, when you call the IRS, ask specifically about whether there are any additional holds or if your case got transferred to a different department. Sometimes these extended delays happen when there are multiple review processes happening simultaneously. Keep documentation of all your calls and verification attempts - you might need it if you have to escalate this further.

I went through this exact same situation in 2023 and can totally understand your anxiety! The 810 code typically means they're verifying income information - often triggered when there's a mismatch between what you reported and what third parties (employers, banks, etc.) reported to the IRS. The 570 code is just holding your refund while they sort it out. While they told you 180 days, that's really their worst-case scenario. In my experience, most of these reviews actually complete in 8-12 weeks. The key is to be patient and avoid calling too frequently (once every 2-3 weeks max) since that can sometimes slow things down. Keep checking your transcript for updates - you'll usually see movement there before they call you. If they do need anything from you, they'll send a letter with specific instructions. Hang in there!

•This is really helpful advice! I'm actually dealing with this right now too - got the 810 and 570 codes about 3 weeks ago. The waiting is definitely the hardest part! Question though - when you say "avoid calling too frequently," is there any truth to that actually slowing things down? I've heard mixed things about whether calling the IRS impacts processing times. Also, did you notice any specific changes on your transcript right before your case was resolved? Trying to figure out what signs to look for that things are moving along.

I'm going through this right now too and it's so stressful! Got both codes about 5 weeks ago. The IRS rep told me the same 180-day timeline, but reading everyone's experiences here gives me hope it'll be sooner. What's really frustrating is how vague they are about what exactly triggered the review. I've been checking my transcript obsessively every few days looking for any changes. Has anyone figured out if there's a pattern to when these updates typically happen - like certain days of the week or times of month when the IRS processes these reviews? Also wondering if anyone has tips for staying sane during this waiting period because I keep calculating bills and expenses in my head!

•I totally get the stress and obsessive transcript checking - been there! From what I've observed, the IRS typically updates transcripts on Fridays, though it can happen any day. Try to limit checking to once a week to preserve your sanity! As for staying calm during the wait, I found it helpful to set up a separate savings account specifically for when the refund comes through, and I made a realistic budget assuming the refund might not arrive for 3 months. Also, consider this time to organize all your tax documents for next year - at least you'll feel productive while waiting. The uncertainty is definitely the worst part, but based on everyone's experiences here, it sounds like most cases resolve much faster than the 180 days they quote. Hang in there!

I'm dealing with this same situation right now and found this thread incredibly helpful! Got my 810 and 570 codes about 2 weeks ago and have been stressed about it. It's reassuring to hear that most people got their refunds much sooner than the 180 days the IRS quoted. One thing I'm wondering - for those who had their cases resolved faster, did you do anything specific to help move it along, or did you just wait it out? Also, has anyone found it helpful to request their tax account transcript more frequently to track progress, or is that overkill? The waiting game is definitely tough when you're counting on that refund for expenses. Thanks to everyone sharing their experiences - it really helps to know we're not alone in this!

•Hey! I'm new to this community but just went through this exact situation last year. From my experience, there really wasn't anything specific I could do to speed it up - it was mostly just waiting it out. I checked my transcript maybe once a week (any more than that and I was driving myself crazy!). The good news is that mine resolved in about 10 weeks even though they told me 120 days initially. One tip that helped my peace of mind was calling the IRS about 6 weeks in just to confirm nothing additional was needed from me - the rep was able to see that my case was progressing normally through their system. Don't stress too much about checking transcripts super frequently - when there's an update, it'll be pretty obvious. You've got this! 🙂

I just joined this community because I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Got both the 810 and 570 codes about 3 weeks ago and the IRS told me the same 180-day timeline. Reading through everyone's experiences here is honestly such a relief - it sounds like most people get their refunds way before that worst-case scenario they quote you. I was starting to panic thinking something was seriously wrong with my return, but it seems like this is more common than I thought. Has anyone noticed if certain types of income changes are more likely to trigger these codes? I had a job change mid-year and also some freelance income that was different from previous years, so I'm wondering if that's what flagged my return. Either way, thanks for sharing your story - it helps to know others have been through this and come out okay on the other side!

•Welcome to the community! You're definitely not alone in this situation. Job changes and freelance income are actually pretty common triggers for the 810 code because the IRS systems automatically flag returns when there are significant changes in income patterns or sources compared to previous years. The good news is that these "routine" verification cases typically resolve much faster than more complex issues. Since you had legitimate income changes, it's likely just their automated system doing its due diligence to match up your reported income with what employers and clients reported to them. Try not to stress too much - based on what everyone's shared here, you'll probably see movement on your case well before that 180-day mark they quoted you!

I'm currently dealing with this exact situation and finding this thread incredibly helpful! I received both the 810 and 570 codes about 6 weeks ago, and like everyone else, was initially told to expect a 180-day review period. What's been most frustrating is the lack of specific information about what triggered the review in the first place. Based on what I'm reading here, it seems like significant income changes or new income sources are common triggers. I had some stock sales last year that were different from my usual W-2 income, so I'm guessing that's what flagged my return. The waiting is definitely stressful, especially when you're counting on that refund, but it's encouraging to see that most people's cases resolved much faster than the timeframe the IRS quoted. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences - it really helps to know this is more routine than it initially seemed!

•Hey Jacob! I'm also new here but wanted to chime in since I'm going through something similar. Stock sales are definitely a common trigger from what I've been reading - the IRS has to match up your 1099-B forms with what you reported, and if there's any delay in their systems receiving that information, it can cause these holds. I'm about 4 weeks into my own review (also 810/570 codes) and my situation involved some cryptocurrency transactions that were new for me this year. It's really reassuring to see how many people have shared their stories here and had positive outcomes! The waiting is brutal but sounds like we just need to hang tight. Fingers crossed both our cases resolve soon! 🤞

I'm new to this community but unfortunately not new to dealing with IRS codes! I had both 810 and 570 codes last year around this same time. The 810 is specifically for their income verification program - essentially their computer systems flagged something that needs human review. The 570 just holds your refund while they sort it out. I was also told 180 days initially, but mine actually resolved in about 11 weeks. What helped me stay sane during the wait was setting up alerts on my IRS account so I'd get notified of any transcript changes instead of obsessively checking every day. The key thing to remember is that this is usually just a bureaucratic process, not an indication that anything is actually wrong with your return. Most of the time they're just verifying that the income you reported matches what your employer or bank reported to them. Hang in there - the waiting is definitely the worst part, but it almost always works out fine!

•Thanks for sharing your experience Emma! I'm completely new to this whole situation and just got hit with both codes last week. The alert setup idea is brilliant - I've been driving myself crazy checking the transcript multiple times a day. Quick question - when your case resolved after 11 weeks, did you get any advance notice or did the refund just suddenly appear? Also wondering if you had to provide any additional documentation during your review or if it resolved automatically? This waiting game is definitely nerve-wracking when you're not sure what to expect, but hearing success stories like yours really helps keep the anxiety in check!

Welcome to the community! I'm also dealing with this exact situation right now - got both 810 and 570 codes about 4 weeks ago. Like everyone else here, I was initially panicked when I saw these unfamiliar codes on my transcript, but reading through all these experiences has been incredibly reassuring. It's clear that while the IRS quotes 180 days as their maximum timeframe, the reality is that most cases resolve much sooner. What I've found particularly helpful from this thread is understanding that the 810 code is typically triggered by routine income verification - things like job changes, new income sources, or even just their automated systems flagging returns that don't match their expected patterns. The 570 is simply holding our refunds while they complete their review. I've been trying to follow the advice about checking transcripts only weekly instead of daily (though I'll admit that's easier said than done!). For anyone else going through this, it seems like patience is really the key here, and based on everyone's shared experiences, we'll likely see resolution well before that scary 180-day deadline they initially give us.

•Hi Emily! I'm also brand new to this community and honestly just joined because I'm going through this exact same nightmare right now. Got my 810 and 570 codes about 2 weeks ago and have been stressed out of my mind ever since. Reading through everyone's stories here has been such a lifesaver - I had no idea this was so common! Like you, I've been trying to limit my transcript checking but it's so hard when you're anxiously waiting. The 180-day timeline they gave me felt like forever, but seeing that most people here got resolved in 2-3 months makes it feel much more manageable. I think what triggered mine was some gig work I did last year that was reported on 1099s - completely legitimate but different from my usual W-2 only income. Thanks for sharing your experience and for being so welcoming to us newcomers dealing with this stressful situation!

I'm new to this community but unfortunately not new to dealing with these exact codes! I had both 810 and 570 on my transcript in early 2024 and went through the same anxiety you're experiencing right now. The IRS told me 120 days initially, but my case actually resolved in about 9 weeks. What I learned through the process is that the 810 code is part of their automated income verification system - it gets triggered when there are discrepancies or unusual patterns compared to previous years. Mine was caused by a change in employers mid-year plus some side consulting income that was new. The 570 is just their way of putting a hold on your refund while they sort things out. One thing that helped me was calling around week 6 to get a status update - the agent was able to confirm that my case was progressing normally and no additional action was needed from me. The waiting is absolutely brutal, especially when you're counting on that money, but try to remember that the 180 days is really their worst-case scenario. Most of these routine verification cases resolve much faster. Hang in there!

•Welcome to the community Ravi! I'm also new here and just went through this exact situation a few months ago. Rental property income is definitely a common trigger for the 810 code - the IRS systems automatically flag returns when there are new income sources or significant changes from previous years. In my case, I also had new rental income plus some changes in my W-2 income, and it took about 10 weeks to resolve instead of the 120 days they initially told me. The key thing I learned is that these are mostly routine verification processes where they're just matching up what you reported with information they received from third parties.
