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.

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.
