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.
