Code 570 on HOH Return with $17,552 AGI - EIC and Credits Pending Until April 15

Just checked my transcript and I'm seeing something concerning. My account transcript shows a 570 code dated 02-24-2025 with "Additional account action pending." I've never had this code before and I'm really worried about what it means. Could it be because my address might be wrong on my return? Here's what my transcript shows: ACCOUNT BALANCE: ACCRUED INTEREST: AS OF: Feb. 24, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: AS OF: Feb. 24, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount) RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED.. EXEMPTIONS: 04 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $17,552.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $0.00 TAX PER RETURN: $0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: $0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: $0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: $0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Feb. 24, 2025 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250605 02-24-2025 $0.00 30221-415-09788-5 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2025 768 Earned income credit 04-15-2025 570 Additional account action pending 02-24-2025 I filed Head of Household with an AGI of $17,552.00 and my taxable income was $0.00. The transcript shows my tax return was filed (code 150) on 02-24-2025, and I'm supposed to receive both a credit (766) and Earned Income Credit (768) dated 04-15-2025. My self-employment income for both myself and spouse shows $0.00, and my total self-employment tax is $0.00. I'm really concerned about getting my credits. This 570 code seems to be holding everything up, and I don't understand why there's "additional account action pending." Has anyone else dealt with this 570 code situation? Does it typically delay refunds by a lot? I'm counting on this money and getting worried.

The transcript shows a HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD filing with an Adjusted Gross Income of $17,552.00 and zero taxable income, which aligns with qualifying for credits. The key sequence of events is: 1. Your return was processed (Code 150) on February 24, 2025 2. Two credits are scheduled for April 15, 2025: - Regular tax credit (Code 766) - Earned Income Credit (Code 768) 3. A hold (Code 570) was placed on February 24, 2025 The 570 code appearing on the same day as your return processing (February 24) indicates the IRS flagged something for review immediately upon processing. Your zero self-employment income for both you and spouse, combined with claiming EIC, might be triggering a verification review. The good news is your credits are already scheduled for April 15, which suggests the IRS expects to resolve the hold by then. While the 570 code is stopping the immediate release of your refund, it's a common verification step, especially with EIC claims, and typically resolves within 60 days. Your return due date shows as April 15, 2025, which means you filed well ahead of the deadline, giving plenty of time for resolution.

Code 570 with EIC claims is pretty standard - they're just verifying your qualifying children and income. Since your credits are already scheduled for April 15th, the IRS is confident they'll release the hold by then. The fact that you filed so early (February) actually works in your favor because there's plenty of time for them to complete their review before the scheduled release date. Most EIC verification holds clear within 4-6 weeks, and yours should be resolved well before April 15th based on the timeline shown.
