IRS Code 470 on transcript - what does this mean for my refund?

Just checked my transcript and saw code 470. Getting worried cause I need this refund. Anyone know what this means and how long it usually takes to resolve?

Code 470 means Additional Account Action Pending - it's basically telling you the IRS needs to review something on your return more carefully. This could be due to identity verification, income verification, or they need additional documentation. Don't panic tho - this is pretty common these days with all the fraud prevention measures. You might get a letter in the mail asking for more info, or it could resolve itself if they just need to verify stuff internally. If you want a detailed analysis of your specific situation and estimated timeline, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your transcripts and gives you super specific feedback about what's causing delays and how to fix them. Way better than trying to decode these codes yourself.

Code 470 means your return is being reviewed and additional info might be needed. Its basically the IRS putting a temporary hold while they verify something. Could be identity, income, or deductions. Usually takes 60-120 days to resolve but could be shorter or longer depending on what they're reviewing.

Sometimes they send a letter explaining what they need, but not always. Keep checking your mailbox for any IRS notices
