IRS Code 570 on transcript - Do I need to verify identity again?

Ugh, the IRS and their cryptic codes. 🙄 Have you gotten any new letters or notices since you verified your identity? That might give you a clue about what action they need.

I had a similar situation last year. Code 570 doesn't necessarily mean you need to verify your identity again. It's a generic hold code that could mean a bunch of different things. In my case, they just needed additional info about my income.

Yo, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Here's what I've learned about Code 570: • It's a general 'hold' on your account • Could be for identity verification, but not always • Might be due to discrepancies in reported income • Sometimes it's just a random audit • If you've already verified recently, it's probably something else Best bet is to wait for a letter explaining the hold, or bite the bullet and call them. If you can't get through, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help you figure out what's going on without having to deal with the main IRS line.

have u checked ur transcripts online? sometimes they update before u get a letter in the mail

Plot twist: the IRS is actually a front for a secret government time travel experiment, and Code 570 means you've accidentally created a temporal paradox. 👽🕰️
