How long does the 570 code typically stay on transcripts before updating?

The 570 code is like that houseguest who says they're staying for a weekend but then unpacks their entire wardrobe. 😅 It can honestly vary from a few days to several weeks depending on what triggered it. Have you checked if you also have a 971 code? That usually means a notice is coming, which might explain the hold. Worth checking your account transcript too, not just the return transcript!

570 codes vary widely in duration. Some resolve in 7 days. Others take 21 days. Worst cases: 60+ days. Depends on the issue. Check for 971 code too. This means notice sent. Look for TC 571 later. That's the release code. You need both transcripts analyzed properly.

My experience with code 570: • Filed February 3rd • 570 appeared February 18th • Code cleared March 4th • Refund received March 9th So about 2 weeks for me. But I've seen others wait much longer. It really depends on what triggered the hold.

I had the 570 code last year for 32 days. This year my sister had it for only 9 days. My coworker waited 45 days. The uncertainty is the worst part! If you need to speak with an actual agent about your specific situation, I'd recommend Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). They got me through to an IRS agent in under 30 minutes when I was facing a deadline for responding to a notice.

Has anyone had a 570 code that lasted more than 2 months? I'm trying to understand the worst-case scenario here. The emotional roller coaster of checking transcripts every day is getting to me!

My 570 code finally cleared yesterday after appearing on March 4th! Exactly 41 days of waiting. The 571 release code showed up on April 14th and my direct deposit is scheduled for April 19th. Hang in there!

Per Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.6, the 570 code indicates an additional account action is pending. According to IRS Publication 5344, most 570 holds should resolve within 21 days unless additional verification is required. Mine cleared after 14 days, but I'm seeing longer waits this season.

What have you tried so far? Have you called the IRS? Sometimes a simple phone call can resolve a 570 code if it's just missing information. If you haven't received a letter yet, it might be worth calling before more time passes.

My timeline was: Filed Feb 2, accepted Feb 3, 570 code appeared Feb 20, 971 notice issued Feb 27 (asking for identity verification), completed ID verify March 5, 571 release code March 15, refund deposited March 19. So 23 days from 570 to 571 in my case.

I'm dealing with the same situation! Filed on March 22nd and got the 570 code on April 3rd - so I'm about 2 weeks in now. Reading everyone's experiences here is both reassuring and nerve-wracking at the same time. It sounds like there's really no predictable timeline, which is frustrating when you're trying to plan financially. I haven't received any notices yet, so I'm hoping it's just a routine review. Thanks for asking this question - it's helpful to see I'm not alone in this waiting game!

I've been through this exact scenario twice now - once in 2022 and again this year. The 570 code appeared on my transcript about 10 days after filing both times. In 2022, it lasted 28 days before clearing with a 571 code. This year, I'm currently on day 16 with the 570 code and no movement yet. From what I've learned, the key things to watch for are: 1) Any 971 codes that might indicate a notice is coming, 2) Whether your "as of" date on the transcript keeps updating (usually a good sign), and 3) Checking both your return transcript AND account transcript since they can show different information. The hardest part is definitely the uncertainty when you're trying to plan financially. I totally get the liquidity planning concern - been there! One thing that helped me was calling the IRS practitioner line to get a better sense of what was causing the hold, though wait times can be brutal.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed on March 8th and got the 570 code on March 20th, so I'm about 4 weeks in. Like you, I need to plan some financial moves and the uncertainty is killing me. What's really frustrating is that I haven't received any notices or letters, so I have no idea what triggered the hold. I've been checking my transcript obsessively every morning hoping to see a 571 code appear. Reading through everyone's experiences here is both comforting (knowing I'm not alone) and anxiety-inducing (seeing some people wait 2+ months). The range seems so unpredictable - some get cleared in a week, others wait forever. I'm trying to stay patient but when you have real financial deadlines looming, it's tough! Hoping we both see movement soon. Keep us posted on any updates! 🤞

I've been dealing with the 570 code for about 6 weeks now and wanted to share what I've learned from calling the IRS multiple times. The key insight is that not all 570 codes are created equal - some are automated system holds (usually resolve faster) while others require manual review by an examiner (can take much longer). When I finally got through to an agent, they explained that mine was flagged for income verification because I had some freelance 1099 income that didn't match their records exactly. The agent was able to see that my supporting documents were already in the system and estimated another 2-3 weeks for resolution. So my advice: if you're past the 21-day mark and haven't received any notices, it's definitely worth the phone call hassle to get specifics about your case. The uncertainty is often worse than the actual issue!

I'm currently going through this exact situation! Filed on March 3rd and got hit with the 570 code on March 18th - so I'm coming up on 5 weeks now. What's been driving me crazy is that I also haven't received any notices or correspondence from the IRS, so I'm completely in the dark about what triggered the hold. Like you, I have some investment decisions that are time-sensitive and the uncertainty is really stressing me out. I've been reading through all these comments and it's both reassuring and terrifying to see such a wide range of timelines - from 9 days to 2+ months! I think I'm finally going to follow everyone's advice here and call the IRS this week, even if it means sitting on hold for hours. At least then I'll know if it's something simple like income verification or if there's a bigger issue. Thanks for posting this question - it's been incredibly helpful to see everyone's experiences and realize this is way more common than I thought. Will definitely update here if I learn anything useful from calling! 📞
