IRS Code 507 on Transcript - What does it mean? Need help understanding

Just checked my transcript and noticed code 507. Anyone know what this means or dealt with it before? Really need to understand what's going on with my refund.

Tax professional here - Code 507 indicates that your return is being reviewed for income verification. This usually means the IRS is comparing the income you reported with information they received from employers (W-2s, 1099s). Average resolution time is 60-120 days. Best to wait it out unless you get a specific notice requesting additional documentation.

60-120 days?! 😭 thats crazy long... do they atleast pay interest?

Yes, they do pay interest! Currently at 7% annual rate for individual refunds.

Hey guys instead of guessing what these codes mean, I've been using taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a complete breakdown of your transcript with expected dates and everything. Way better than trying to piece together what's happening from reddit posts tbh https://taxr.ai

Check if you claimed EIC or child tax credit. Those usually trigger 507 codes for verification. Also peep your wage and income transcript to make sure everything matches up with what you filed.

Code 507 is definitely income verification review. Had the same thing happen to me last year - took about 10 weeks but got my full refund plus interest. The IRS is just making sure your W-2s and 1099s match what you reported. Don't stress too much, just be patient and avoid calling unless you get a CP notice asking for documents. Most of these resolve automatically once their systems finish cross-checking everything.

Thanks for sharing your experience! 10 weeks sounds about right from what I'm hearing. Did you get any notifications during those 10 weeks or did your transcript just randomly update one day? Trying to figure out if I should be checking daily or just forget about it for a while lol
