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.

The code 811 freeze removal is good news - it means the IRS has finished verifying your identity/income. However, the 570 code indicates there's still an additional review happening. This is pretty common after an 811 lift. The 570 is usually temporary while they do final checks, typically 2-4 weeks. I'd recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to get a detailed analysis of your transcript and estimated completion timeline. It can identify exactly what's causing the 570 hold and give you specific next steps.

•bruh im in the same boat 😫 300 days is insane. did u have to verify identity or something?

•Yeah the 811 usually means identity verification or income verification was needed. Once that clears, the 570 review is usually way faster

Tax pro here - Code 570 indicates additional account action is pending. Its basically a temporary hold while they review something. Usually gets resolved within 2-4 weeks if there are no other issues. Keep checking your transcripts weekly for movement.

Hey guys instead of playing detective with these codes, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs $4.99 but it analyzes your whole transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect movement. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•How accurate is it? Like does it actually predict dates or just general timeframes?

Ugh I feel your pain! Been dealing with similar codes for months. The 570 after an 811 removal is actually pretty normal - it's like the IRS doing one final check before releasing your refund. Usually resolves in 1-3 weeks from what I've seen. The fact that they removed the 811 freeze means you passed the major hurdle. Keep checking your transcripts every few days and look for a 571 code (that's when the 570 gets resolved). You're in the home stretch now! 🤞

•Thanks for the encouragement! 🙏 Really needed to hear that after this whole ordeal. 1-3 weeks sounds way more manageable than starting over again. I'll definitely keep checking for that 571 code - fingers crossed it shows up soon!

Been through this exact same sequence! Had my 811 freeze removed in November and got hit with a 570 the next week. I was panicking thinking I'd have to start all over again, but it actually resolved pretty quickly. The 570 after an 811 removal is usually just their final compliance check - they're making sure everything matches up before cutting your refund. Mine took about 10 days to clear and I got my DD 5 days after the 571 posted. Your transcript looks normal for this stage - the good news is you're past the hard part! The 811 freeze is what takes forever, this 570 should move much faster. Keep checking every few days and you should see that 571 code soon 🙌

•This is super reassuring to hear! 10 days sounds so much better than the 300+ I just went through 😅 Really appreciate you sharing your timeline - it helps knowing someone else went through the exact same sequence and came out the other side. Definitely going to be checking my transcripts obsessively now lol. Thanks for giving me hope that the finish line is actually in sight this time! 🤞

I totally get your frustration after waiting 300+ days! The good news is that the 570 code after an 811 removal is actually pretty routine - it's basically the IRS doing their final review before releasing your refund. Since they already verified your identity/income (that's what the 811 was about), this 570 should resolve much faster - typically within 2-3 weeks. Keep monitoring your transcripts for a 571 code which will indicate the hold is lifted. You're definitely in the home stretch now, even though I know it doesn't feel like it after such a long wait. Hang in there! 💪

•Exactly this! OP you've been through the worst of it already. That 811 freeze was the big one - identity/income verification can take forever. Now that it's lifted, this 570 is just their final housekeeping. I went through something similar last year and the 570 cleared in like 12 days. You're so close to finally getting your money! 🙏

I feel your pain - 300+ days is absolutely brutal! But honestly, you're almost there. The 570 after an 811 removal is super common and usually clears way faster than the original freeze. Think of it like this: the 811 was the IRS saying "we need to verify who you are and that your income is legit" - that's the hard part that takes forever. Now the 570 is just them saying "okay we verified everything, just doing final paperwork before we send your money." Most people see this clear within 2-3 weeks max. Keep checking for that 571 code - that's your golden ticket! After waiting this long, a few more weeks is nothing. You've got this! 💪

•This is so helpful to hear! The way you explained it really makes sense - like the 811 was the big security check and now the 570 is just them finishing up the paperwork. After 300+ days of stress, knowing this part usually only takes 2-3 weeks feels like such a relief. Definitely gonna be refreshing my transcripts daily looking for that 571 code! Thanks for breaking it down in a way that actually gives me hope 🙏
